@Clara: what’s going on, do you have an identity crisis? :-)

I have come across some sleepers lately yes. The old ones are still made of wood, but they are changing over to those made of concrete because they last longer.

I don’t know why they are called sleepers to be honest, maybe because the rails are sleeping on them?

Last sentence of chapter 17:
“It was his head that hit the tree first.”
in “the mobile library, the case of the missing books” by Ian Samsom
In that chapter I came across sleepers.
Have you come across any sleepers lately?
What are they made of? Why are they called sleepers?

Tssk! Tssk!

One word of advice – you really want to see this on in the cinema! (don’t wait for the DVD)

I knew you’d make it – when you’re seventeen, things are quite easy to learn, naturally ;) Congratulations!! (Oh, and I still haven’t made it to my One time of Papa-etc… bugger)

Quite right, we should not take this too lightly. Davy lives with me, which is a great help and he isn’t going anywhere in the near future. And apart from that – there is this big stack of Bravo India Lima Lima films that I could easily see again while we are waiting for the DVD. :)

Congrats on passing the exam !!

What if our Pirates leave the cinemas for unexplored waters ? Are there going to be withdrawal symptoms ??

Thanks to all of you :)
@Kate – well as I soon will be on a shoot near track and trains, it is inevitable that I will write about trains again. But let’s say that I will try to write about the less technical stuff. I will try to take some pictures then.

And about the postcards – thank you :)

A big hug for passing your exam, Ingrid! Please do write more about trains. I am enjoying it. Your electricity adventure doesn’t bear repeating – ever.

I love your postcards and have sent one … of course, the flowers one.

Congrats! I myself have just finished three exams so I know exactly what you’re talking about.
