    Well, I rang my good Buddy who's just had a Hip Operation, [last Friday] to see if he was comfortable enough to receive visitors [me] on Thursday, and since he was arranged to see him. But as soon as I put the phone down it rang and it was the Observatory Manufacturer say that they will deliver the Observatory this coming Thursday!!!!:yes::hapfeet::hapydancsmil:

    So I rang my Buddy back immediately and gave him the news as he is as excited and interested in the project as I am. In fact, he came with me during our annual Fishing Holiday in Rutland when we popped over the border into Norfolk to visit the Observatory Manufacturers for a tour of the factory. And of course, I cancelled my visit to him on Thursday and I'm going tomorrow!!:coffee:
    And now I'm getting excited........hurry up Thursday!!!

        I've already told them that I am keeping a image diary on the project and they're quite happy to be photographed installing the Observatory and also want to use them on their own site.
        Thursday will soon be here!!:yes::hapfeet::hapydancsmil:

                  @shiney, it's the modern way for young children to understand how long it will take to get to a certain time/date. Usually a reference because something exciting is about to happen. :biggrin:

                    What Sheal's trying to say, Shiney, is that she needs to use such terminology to me as I'm in my second childhood.
