Mrs "stuff to do" has gone out this afternoon with our Ukrainian friends to help with a bit of translation whilst they haggle over the purchase of a new car, soooooooooo I thought I'd have another go at mastering the art of this blogging lark. It's not the easiest thing to do (for me that is) MY BRAIN HURTS. Why is it so many other blogs look so good, and I end up making one that looks like an explosion in a mattress factory. Bear with me, I'm sure to get there in the end.
It's not that I don't like or don't understand technology, it's more like I keep forgetting how it works, every time I used to use Photoshop for my photo editing I'd spend two hours re-learning the procedure, needless to say I now use Paint.net, does what I want it to do with far less hassle.
Now, if I can remember correctly I did say I would show you what I got for Christmas. After having put a few things on the dinning room table and after having nearly fallen off a chair trying to take the photo, I came up with this.
I am an avid collector of books, hence the old model railway manual (from my daughter) and the perpetual calendar from my other daughter. I've made one of these kits before, it was a clock, and I must say it was brilliant to build and it worked well after I had finished it, highly recommended. The latest copy of the Railway Modeller was from Mrs "stuff to do" after a recent visit to the UK. I do subscribe to a model magazine online but nothing quite like holding a paper copy in your hand is there?
Whilst I remember, I have put a couple of links to other blog sites somewhere on this page (I hope) so if you happen to be a model nut check them out, even if you're not, Chris Nevard's blog has a certain sense of humour you might enjoy.
We must not forget of course Mrs "stuff to do" and what she received for Christmas.
Usually it's Lego but this year it's obviously not. She said she loves it and it is about three quarters finished. !!!!!!!!!!
