The health blog will explain why there has been such a gap since the previous post. I did manage a post on the Dalek progress but that was 4 weeks ago as the next batch of parts has just been delivered.

The fibre optic Christmas scene bulb is dead and I KNOW there is a box with spares in as I have only recently spotted it, but can I find it again ...
