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.
