( More mystery )
In the Star Wars universe yesterday a young Boba Fett appeared, seen here perched on the wotsit from day 9...
...and today a sleigh appeared. Of course, this being Star Wars it's a rocket-powered sleigh...

Anyway, in the Star Wars calendar there's a bevy of vehicles to construct. They're getting increasingly complicated to build...

Dec. 18th, 2016 11:30 pmOn time for a change!
( Mystery )
Star Wars: another stormtrooper. He's armed himself with the large blaster from the other and is also taking aim at the battle droid (while a R2 or whatever scurries for cover). Nobody likes the battle droids!

Dec. 17th, 2016 11:26 pmAnd now, a quadruple post!
( Mystery Calendar )
Meanwhile, in Lego land, much has been afoot...
Yet another fighter thing.
A lizard person, who's taking aim at the battle droid! Weren't they on the same side in episode 2?
Another stash of blasters, one of which looks a bit heftier than most.
And finally, today this gunship appeared. It's getting rather crowded in the arena!

( Mystery! )
From Star Wars, day 12 revealed yet another fighter/shuttle thing (this looks a bit like those folding-wing shuttles, except without the central fin)...
... and from day 13 a battle droid appeared! Here the droid is attempting to sneak up on the rebel scout...

Dec. 11th, 2016 09:30 pm( Mystery! )
Today's Star Wars creation was some sort of walker/tank thing - not an AT-AT, as its got too many legs. Again it reminds me of the arena battle in episode 2. Anyway, I was feeling a bit creative with the photography and had a play with macro mode and wide-open apertures (for narrow depth-of-field)...
It looks like our rebel scout has caught the attention of the tank!

In Star Wars news, yesterday was the arrival of an anonymous grey ship of some sort...
...while today the first stormtrooper turned up, ready to face off against the rebel scout from Tuesday.

Over in Lego land, yesterday revealed a pile of blasters...
...and today some sort of shuttle. It reminds me of the ones from episode 2, which thecavalry clone troopers use to arrive at the arena.

Random outing
Dec. 4th, 2016 06:58 pmToday's random outing was to Portchester Castle, to have a play with the Nikon F-301 before the sun disappeared. Despite the late hour there was still plenty of light and there should be some good photos in there, though as always with film you'll have to wait until I scan them.
Speaking of randomness, today's random "small world" event was with one of the English Heritage staff there. She had to unlock the main door to the castle grounds to let myself and another chap out (because the folks at the church in the grounds had gone home early and locked up!), and while doing so we ended up chatting for a few moments and I mentioned how at Pendennis Castle when staying there you get a key to the main door. At which point it turned out that she used to live in Falmouth! It's odd how I end up bumping into people with local connections - probably the most surprising one was on the ferry to Dublin, when I visited my aunt in Bangor way back in 2006.
Moroccan Mint Tea - interesting. A nice brew to have on a cold evening.

Advent 2016, day 4
Dec. 4th, 2016 12:21 pmToday's random surprise was lighting the Advent candle at church - today's the 2nd Sunday of Advent. Normally they let one of the children do it, but on the 1st Sunday of the month they're all over at Messy Church in the hall so the leader suggested that "perhaps someone who's a child at heart" could do it and I was volunteered as being one of the youngest present! Although not quite the youngest as it turned out - it turned out that it was someone else's "8th anniversary of their 21st birthday" (which struck me as a fun way to celebrate a birthday without seeming to be that old).
Anyway, Advent Calendars!
( Today's mystery! )
Today's Star Wars construction is another starfighter-thing. I'm not sure which way round this one flies - whether the green sticks are engine exhausts or laser beams.

allegramente sewed together advent calendars for myself and elemnar - they were ready just in time for us to collect last weekend, stocked full of surprises...
elemnar's calendar has a different pattern, but both contain the same surprises so if you've not made a start on yours yet elemnar then don't click on the cut below...
( Mystery advent calendar: day 1 )
As it happens I've got at least three advent calendars this year - the aforementioned Mystery Advent Calendar, a chocolate one (there has to be a chocolate one, and this time it's a nice one from Cocoa Loco), and finally a Lego Star Wars calendar that I was given a couple of years ago. Let's take a look behind door number 1...
