I slept in a bit this morning to catch up on sleep missed during the week for the early morning rises of the Photography Standards meetings.
I spent some time packing boxes full of books to store in the garage while the painters repaint next week. I needed six moving boxes for all of my GURPS books, though they weren’t filled completely and I used some of the space for novels, to avoid making the boxes too heavy to lift. I also moved a bunch of other stuff down to the garage.
For my LEGO display models, I asked our new neighbours if they would mind having them in their place for a couple of weeks, to avoid any chance of the painters damaging the models. They had just bought some new furniture, and didn’t have anything on it yet, so said it would be convenient. So I took them over and arranged them there.
I also made a new Darths & Droids comic, and baked a sourdough loaf. And took Scully on a couple of walks with my wife. Doesn’t seem like much, but the cleaning is gratifying.
To a person with normal energy levels, David, that does seem like a lot. I don’t think you understand how lazy the average person is, compared to you. 🙂
Now I started to wonder how you keep dust off your Lego display models. Do you dust them regularly or keep them in some display case where there isn’t that much dust?
I dust mine too rarely and I don’t have a good space for them, so I don’t have the models on display that often, sadly. Last Christmas’s Dune Ornithopter was on display on the terrarium for a month or so, but I put it away after it broke when I showed the functionality to my brother – it’s not the sturdiest set.
I have a cabinet with glass doors which I keep them inside. It was a bit of a squeeze getting the D&D model in there, but I managed it by removing a shelf.
I’ve had ones displayed in the open before and yeah, they get dusty too quickly, and are too fiddly to dust properly. I’d never do that again.
