    Yeah you can feel a change in the wind. Evenings are getting darker quickly and leaves are starting to fall.

    Due to the winter-style weather, I started my Lego Winter Village last night

    I have most of the official sets and some other "wintry" sets to go with it; but I missed a few. I've built most of those now from my own parts and buying other parts

    The Fire Station was still missing, so I got the parts list and found >900 of the needed parts from my parts wall here - I'd have a few hundred thousand elements - and I'll order the remaining ~200 to finish it off

    Doing a test build now to see how critical bits are - I don't bother with every single tree (every set has one) and accessory, I mainly want the buildings - before I order the parts.

    Im in Wexford and the weather was so wild last night that the mobile was rocking a bit. It felt so wintery,we had to turn the heating on.

    Then woke up this morning and the Simpsons had their Christmas episode on tv (the one where Bart is baby Jesus).

    Looks like it's back to swimming weather today.

    Yes, I think they were €6.45 or there abouts.

    I was just thinking will there be a Band Aid 40 this year?

    When Band Aid 20 came out I remember thinking 20 years ago was ages ago.

    Yeah asked a few weeks ago about the same thing

    Maybe Bob and Midge Ure are 'yesterday's' men regarding the music business

    Be nice if they did do something for it, maybe a remix of the original and not a new thing with 'today's stars'

    Band Aid 30 was comparatively a flop; and singles make even less money now than they did ten years ago so I wouldn't have much expectations for it.

    The Range has the Halloween stuff out in full now, which likely means the Christmas stuff is on the container ships from China to follow.

    Only got about 20% of the way in to building that Lego set until I hit some critical parts needs, so will do a Bricklink order over the weekend for the obvious bits.
