Neeeeoooowww!

Ok, that was my impression of a plane by the way not a cat!
Well, I've made a start on my model plane. So far, I'm really enjoying it. The stage that I'm at in the picture took quite a while to do but I didn't realise it at the time. It's definitely one of those things where you have a different perception of the time. Time just flies by when your having fun... or when your deeply engrossed in something!
Out of all the construction models I've worked on, working with wood is my favourite material. For some reason it just feels more technical and certainly more natural.
It wasn't as tricky as I thought it was going to be but some bits were quite tricky as the wood didn't want to comply with what I wanted it to do. Naughty wood!
I'm planning to do a lot more later in the day so I'll put up another post with my progress on that before the day is out!

Dudes!

What a nightmare of an evening I've had! I've spent most of the evening trying to sign into my blogger account with exasperating results. Normally my computer keeps me logged into my blog but for some reason, it decided to sign me out. When I went to sign in again, it wouldn't let me. I just assumed that maybe I forgot the password so I sent for a new one. But I've realised that I've typed my email address wrong so that then meant that I wasn't getting any emails letting me change my password. Confused? Don't worry, so was I. Although I was more frustrated to the point that I was actually crying! To save my sanity, I've created a new blog using my correct email ad. There must have been a simpler way but I was having trouble ever since I started my blog so enough was enough for me and I just decided to wipe the slate clean. I feel a lot better and calmer now that I've solved the problem albeit in an extreme way! I felt it was the right thing to do!
