We are all set to keep this a fairly quiet one today, as we’ve had far too much prolonged excitement every weekend, and most days throughout May & June. So, with that in mind my youngest has chosen to build her Lego set(s). I commend her for this decision, provided she doesn’t try to build all of them, back to back to back. I mean that if SHE can build them, go hack to back, but if I need to sit on the floor (yes she is still at the age where she is more comfortable on the floor and not seated at a table) then for the love of cheese don’t ask me to spend all day sat cross legged, my feet will go numb and I’ll not be able to walk for a few days in a row. If I could convince her to build on the coffee table atleast, a compromise! I would be more inclined to help out for longer stretches. Truth be told she got through 90% of the first two and only needed my help to pull a few stuck pieces apart, or to help with piece orientation. I do have the same gripe again about missing pieces, and poor QC by Lego. For what these Mine Craft kits cost, multiple missing bits where we had to pillage our own supply of loose bricks to complete is a god damned joke. Not cool. The sheen is wearing off on a number of brands lately around here.
Did I ever tell you about the Disney Star Wars merch I bought for myself and my daughter, where the seams across the back of my rebel t-shirt disintegrated after one wear, and two washes. The stitching on the front patches has come off too. A $50.00 USD shirt, ruined in a matter of days from two washes! Two. And I only wore it once, and that was to bed at the hotel. The next time I tried it on after doing the laundry upon our return home and the back 8 to 10 inches was hanging open. Gah! Not impressed.
Anyway, Friday is here. The weather for now is lovely, sunny, and a bit cooler. Should I cut the grass or tackle some garden bed weeding? Yup, I should. Will I? Who knows!
