A little chaotic in that I did a lot of things twice, but still very successful week and I now have an electronic copy of the magazines for the Flying Scotsman Build.

3D Wooden Puzzle Airship

Well over three days now and repair times have come and gone with no proper explination of just what the problem is. The router is saying 'connected', but not showing network up time at present, and an orange flashing light on it. So I've been taking the time to sort out piles of paperwork, assembled the…
