I don't know where we're going, but we know where we are? (Part whatever)

They have a couple of big sets (for their age group) but they don't have the attention span tbh. I love the creator range as you get 3 builds in one box. The youngest will do one build at breakfast ,come home from creche break it up, do another have dinner, break it up and do the third option....as silent as a mouse...now a little help will be needed along the way. It's brilliant keeps them busy, and motor skills and "engineering" skills are developing.

The dad is pretty "regimental" and you have to follow instructions 😂 so I got them some classic (or as I call it imagination Lego) so they can free build without himself having a coronary 😂🤣🤣

They also got the pokemon mega construx sets for Christmas, getting them tidied today was the priority as the pieces are close but not the same as Lego so didn't want them mixed up. I can see everything else getting fired out of sight tomorrow though.

Listening to Mrs G snore quietly, who knew people could put up with each other like this?.

wildwillow · 15-02-2023 04:33AM

Wishing I was snoring. Sleep is evading me tonight.

The aggressive food training started this morning, the OH forgot that she hasn’t established herself as the dominant one in the pack just yet.

smurfjed · 15-02-2023 06:51AM

Work day for me, I shall end up at home in about 12 hours, wondering what my pack position is :)

Words couldn't describe how much I love and appreciate this woman.

The card companies could not write a better Valentines sentiment than that.

Gremlinertia · 15-02-2023 04:45PM

It's very peopley out. I don't really like people..

It's the fine weather. (At least, it's fine in Cork city)

It draws them out. Like mosquitos. And just as annoying. 🐞

Gremlinertia · 15-02-2023 05:28PM

Apparently it's rag week here so streets full of students that won't be served anywhere

SuperBowserWorld · 15-02-2023 05:39PM

It's also mid term so kids and parents around.

SuperBowserWorld · 15-02-2023 05:41PM

Having a coffee out. Head spinning around from work. It would wind you up till you break if you let it.

Gremlinertia · 15-02-2023 07:54PM

I hear that, I'm all over the place with work and it's stupidity

Sipping a small beer as a reward for a fruitful day. Been to doctor , twice . Once for drugs. 2nd time for licence stuff as I’m on a 3 year one so I’m legal now . ( I think ) Then went to the shop I got chatting to a woman through a mutual friend who I last saw 35 years ago. I wouldn’t have recognised her in a million years. Only downer is I forgot what I went to the shop for 😷

Keep them at it and encourage it. I grew up on Lego. Your post was such a nice description of kids enjoying it an developing as a result.

Thanks Deja Boo. It wasn't meant to be that. Just how I feel.

I always wanted Lego but it was never bought as "not appropriate for girls" I blame the mother as she had the final say on these things ...the price obviously wouldn't have helped either.

Spent the day sorting it....one of the big "Jurassic world" sets was loose in an Ikea plastic box , that took ages to sort the pieces out.

There's still a couple of boxes (the actual Lego box) with loose Lego (It goes into freezer bags then box) so that's an indication the kids tidied it away, but they can stay like that for now... hopefully when I bag them the biscuit tin of loose pieces will also empty...... anyway the dining room table is now cleared for visitors, so that mission is accomplished.

I'm watching lots of Dave Allen tonight. So funny. A legend of stand up. Rediscovering him from when I was allowed stay up late with my Dad to watch him.

thomil · 15-02-2023 10:55PM

Taking things easy over here, have flightradar24 open and listening to the comings & goings at Dublin on liveatc.net. It's a miracle that those air traffic controllers can understand anything!

Ah ,Dave Allen. Loved his jokes

JupiterKid · 15-02-2023 11:47PM

Horizontal on the sofa after another very long day teaching and then getting more work in for another deadline tomorrow.

Some show about possessed pets is on the telly...lol 😁 Pretty flaked now...bed will not be too far off. 😴🛌

Massive LEGO fan here. It was really the only toy I wanted as a kid - and I got back into the bricks just over a decade ago. 💕❤️

Grandeeod · 16-02-2023 01:04AM

Leaba here. Alone. Mrs G has a hot flush kinda thing so the spare room/tech desk area for herself. Her choice and best of luck. Love her loads. Darkman for me. The movie, not the mood!

JupiterKid · 16-02-2023 01:39AM

In bed, trying to get off to sleep.

Why is it that when you want to get to sleep it’s harder than if you don’t stress about it...the sheep jumping over farm gates counting just makes it worse... 🐑 😁

Here’s a Gary Larson as I try to get off to the land of nod....night! 🌙
