First visit



On Saturday I took the boys to the new Soft Play centre, located in a huge warehouse in Neepsend: Medieval Mayhem. Pretty good. It has a really exciting drop slide and is nicely laid out -- except that the younger children's area is on the opposite end of the centre, making it very difficult to track both Noah and Leo. In fact, I lost track of Leo for the longest time. I kept my calm because soft play areas seem pretty safe and this one had absolutely loads of staff. I've never seen so many staff attending the actual play area. In the end, Leo confided that he still preferred the regular soft play -- It's smaller and less noisy, I guess it is also somewhere that Leo is now comfortable. Alas, it has been closed for weeks due to flood damage.

On Sunday I found time to start a quick 3D model, a spaceship, of course. It didn't take long, it's been nice to build something with only a loose plan (see the sketch, below). I was toying with the idea of seating a single astronaut on a simple chair, lashed to the ship's spinal element.

For the first time ever, I started my Christmas shopping in November, although that didn't stop me from waiting until the day before the work party to by my secret Santa gift. The promise of a return Tabletop Role Playing Games! Stranger Swedish Things  I bought a game big game book, based on a long-time love of the work of artist Simon Stalenhag, who inspired many with his paintings of the rural Sweden of his childhood, chock full of giant robots and rusting futuristic metal hulks. Tales from the Loop is an old-school table-top role-playing game, in which you play young teens who solve mysteries in an alternate history 1980s where certain technologies blossomed, giving the world fusion, giant robots and mysterious particle accelerators which appears to be caus
