I spent some time on the weekend hanging out with my nephews. We played Cranium Cadoo and Thomas the Train (they were nice enough to let me win once), and of course we ventured out into the blustery fall afternoon to swing, climb, slide and play basketball. This also gave me a chance for some woodworking projects. I fixed one of my degree frames that had come unglued in the corner, and we made a bunch of Sid Savers on which to hang the remaining blocks ... as well as an additional 30ish. This should cover the entire rest of my collecting career (with another 20 spares), especially given the appeal of recent collections.
So the follow-up to my previous
post is this picture of the bedroom wall (it enlarges if you click on it):
Also, apparently my in-laws have been super busy putting all of their blocks up. They know how to read blogs, but they're still learning about getting pictures off the camera and onto the internet; hopefully I can get some pictures of their collection to post here. I'm sure it will make them proud to be stars of the internet!
GP has made a bunch of new Sid Savers too. We have to go and pick up the new Sid we have ordered in Arnprior. Sometimes that means we get a couple!
