The apprentice shouted his breakfast order through to the kitchen this morning and it required investigation as it was not the usual request. Yours truly was busy getting chopped sausages ready as opposed to Wheatabix with yogurt or sometimes toast and jam, but the apprentice was adamant he wanted porridge. On checking it was evident why such a radical change from planned menu was required, the full page advert on the magazine he was looking at was for porridge, easily swayed toddler would accept no substitute.
Meanwhile rug rat MkII was getting his second tooth around something different to milk. First impressions of pureed strawberry, apple and banana was not promising but we both persevered and eventually he swallowed more than he sprayed over me.
Keen to expand the apprentice's skill set and lay a firm foundation for future hobbies, under some supervision he made his first Airfix kit and where better to start than with a Spitfire. This was a Christmas present to me from my parents, or rather the drinking voucher they gave me was exchanged for it and as it arrived in the post today it seemed daft not to make it straight away rather than place in on the shelf alongside the many kits that will be made one day honest.
This is in fact a weird type of Lego Airfix hybrid (Lego have dropped their we never make any war type toy stance) and thanks to a series of coloured bricks that will only ever make a Spitfire you get the finished article. It stayed like this for around an hour until yours truly was distracted and missed the I'm doing more building clues uttered from the direction of the sofa. We now have a pretty reasonable diorama of an air crash.
