Where on Wednesday eighteen: Home...Waiting for Lego
Today I'm supposed to receive my latest Lego set by courier. They've sent the email notifying of my delivery which has gotten me a little excited, and taken my focus away from what I am supposed to be doing - Meeting with some clients and signing some contracts. Of course, this man-child has no option but to be business-man at times and so I'll handle the clients and contract-signing...All the while I'll be thinking about my Lego though - If only they knew.
I've left strict instructions for my wife to text me the moment my Lego turns up - When I say strict instructions what I really mean is that I asked her nicely to let me know, which I am sure she will do as she knows how excited I am to get this set.
I've selected this particular set because it aligned with one of my hobbies, and it has some very cool features. It's quite a large set too, over 2500 pieces, so should provide quite a few hours of enjoyment, and probably some frustration. I will do a post about the set once I have it, or a post about how the courier company failed miserably if they don't deliver it today. I'll be happy or sad I guess.
I'm turning into a bit of a Lego freak to be honest; I'm enjoying building it so much.
I'm not worried [yet] as I haven't started taking days off work to stay home and build Lego however I can't promise you it won't happen - You know I'm joking right? [Kind of.] It's been somewhat of a revelation, how much I'm enjoying Lego-building and i wish I had a little me to share it with but we're a childless couple and so I play the dual-role of man and child...Man-child.
On Sunday I purchased another set from a retailer in the city who is having a 20% off sale on Lego. It's a big set and one of those that can be two different things - Two builds for the price of one! I was so tempted to start it Sunday night but decided I'd wait for the one due today instead. I really only bought it because it was cheaper than normal and I'll get to it at some stage - Why pay more than I have to right? They also have a nice Aston Martin DB5 set there too...Hmm... src (I added the words - No that's not me.)
I've got a lot of hobbies; Some cost lots of money to do, some not. I think it's safe to say Lego is now one of them, a hobby, and to be completely honest I think it's legit. It could be worse right? I could be down at the pub until all hours of the night drinking, playing the slot machines or betting on horse or dog racing - I could be doing crack too I suppose. Lego is harmless enjoyment and I find it relaxing so...Why not right?
OK, I better get my game-face on for that contract-signing. My next post, hopefully, will showcase my new lego build...Or it could simply be a picture of me in abject misery, Legoless - I'm in the hands of the courier.
Anyway, that's where I'd rather be and what I'd rather be doing right now.

Henry's individually chosen pieces arrived yesterday. Fingers crossed yours arrive today, and we'll have two happy campers.
I’m hoping my grin is that big too...No texts yet though 🥺

Still think you should just get a big bucket of bricks and have at it ;D Hope you've got it now! (I'm not sure on the time difference)
Gotta build up that bucket of bricks somehow. Getting sets gives me a load of different parts and pieces so from there we'll see how the bucket of bricks builds.
Watch out, it's taken hold. It starts with a couple of sets, then a few more, then you see details on some of the older, retired sets that are no longer in production - that can hurt the wallet.
Hmm, yes I can see how that may happen. Might have to get a second job to support my habit. 😳
I just turned my habit into a second job!
The store? Yeah, I wasn't sure if that was your primary or secondary gig...Either way a very cool thing to do. I'd like to do something passive like that - Meaning something I can do from home rather than go out for, not passive in that you do nothing.
