Gnome
Yes the garden type, my late mum had a heavy concrete one in the garden called "Percy" and she asked me to repaint it as it was looking awful, well with one thing and another i never got around to it and after she died last month and clearing the flat out old Percy was still standing there in her small garden looking as bad as ever.
I felt bad that i never got around to doing it for her so brought the paint and got to work on old Percy and he has not turned out to bad and now sits in my garden in all his splendour and and will give me a reminder of my dear old mum. -Like.png-
Percy before a paint up
Cleaned and undercoated
Finished Percy
I hope mum is looking down on him in approval. -Success.png-

Well done Jack. He looks fresh as a daisy. And he has a Gnome to go to! -Big grin.png-
We used to have one in our band, he kept the beat going. He was a Metro gnome!

Re: Gnome
That just jogged a memory -Big grin.png-
The band I was in years ago needed a dep drummer as our drummer was going on holiday for a few weeks. A friend of a friend suggested someone who was really good as it turned out, he was a little vertically challenged at less than 5 feet tall and as he drove an Austin Metro our singer nicknamed him Metro-Gnome, he didn’t mind the nickname btw -Happy.png-
