one good find i forgot to post about was another 2 pairs of kiwirail overalls for $20 each. one has had the sleeves cut off at the elbow, but thats not a major. hamish also passed along a couple of old NZR workbooks from his collection, so they will be tucked away safely.
i did pop into gonville hospice the other day and came out with a few treasures. one was the complete dvd set of "a bit of fry and laurie", which i was stoked with. i also got a wallace and gromit playhouse, which i mainly bought with displays in mind, as the figs are about the right size, and i quite like wallace and gromit.
i got a couple of bags of duplo from savemart today, and in one was a boba fett lego watch, worth about $50! the duplo i will likely pass along to madison, if her mum wants it.
i have also ordered a bunch of concrete lego men for the kids to paint up. they were cheap as chips, so figured why the heck not?! 4 of the smaller ones i will get the kids to put "tony"s initials on, for a disabled friend of mine, and then we will hide them in his yard.
derby cadets starts shortly, so i need to get some new wheels and stoppers so i can actually do stuff. have introduced the kids to skating, and we have done a fair bit of outdoor stuff as the rink has been closed except for the friday night disco.
rob has also joined in fully, and its good to have another friend there. we went out skating on new years eve, and it was honestly the best night out ive ever had. so much fun.
