Hi all, Hope you all had a good New Year, I shan't mention the weather as it appears a bit extreme( having said that we had 42.9C yesterday, however even that pales compared to Sydney today where my daughter says it reached 47.1!!! Damn Sydney have always got to go one better.
Anyway havent got much done on Wallgate over the last few weeks what with Xmas etc, I did however get stuck into building two units for two of the Granddaughters to use with their Shopkins stuff ( I am assuming that you have all that stuff over there) and a Lego compatible 'Space Port ' for one of the Grandsons

Avah Rose (6) is one of the GD's and the other one is Caitlin (7) ( therefore Caitlin Towers) they were both here when I brought them out to tell them that Santa had asked me to make them as the Elves had not had the time this year, they were occupied for about 1 1/2 hours during the afternoon, so big tick.

When I showed Jackson (8) his Space Port with a similar story about Santa's Elves, He stood and looked at it for several minutes without speaking and I thought Oh! err failure, Then he said " That is Sooooooo Cooool" !

He promptly spent a good hour just setting up what little bit of Lego was around the place.
One of his schoolfriends has since seen it and wanted to know where he got it from, Hmm maybe a business opportunity here, has any one got more Papier Mache packaging, a piece of rectangular downpipe, a jelly container and the lid off a spray container and some printed bits etc
Still waiting on having a biopsy and another visit to the oncologist, but wait I will I guess for a day or so!!
Cheers for now, stay warm
