The Axe Man Cometh! Just another Thursday!

First past the post tonight its Zen Master John Campbell, I suppose I could have kept him out in the cold until 7.00 PM. But I`m known for my kind heart!!!
Who will be next, is enthusiasm running high tonight. As I write the door bell goes again and its Stephen!

Is that a Selenium red your holding, or are you just pleased to see me

Mission accomplished, "I`ve got your sheep, everyone of them"

Tess apparently made it here tonight unscathed. What happened at Bells bridge, both Gilian and Tess worked quite happily together all evening, with Bill working merrily across from them. And the pony tail thing?, a sign of new alliances?
Are Michael (the engineer) and Glass Master Joe the only people out of the loop?

Well, what they were really discussing was colour and texture for Michaels tree panel, which is starting to progress nicely!
