Whew it arrived just in time. I didn't think it was going to get here before the end of the year. I thought it would have been bigger. It is suppose to last the whole 365 days but this looks like it'll only last 52 weeks. But looking at the state this year is ending in there's not really much other option.
Now let's see. Instructions...instructions...where are the...oh here they are. "Clean your 2017 thoroughly so as no cross contamination". Well...bugger that. 2017 is so shite covered I'm just going to put down some newspaper and bin bags and we'll pave over it with the new year and pretend it didn't happen.
Next.
"Prepare the area with Hogmanay". Well that appears to be in full swing. The people on the telly are having some BBC sanctioned fun. They look like they're enjoying themselves but it doesn't seem to have reached their faces yet and the other channels are showing....oooh....American Werewolf in London...aww it's already started. Ah maybe next year,
Next year. That'll be in 23 minutes. Maybe less now. Yes, now it's 22 minutes. That was quick. A little too quick. Makes me wonder if the year really has been a standard however many minutes a year has. Is it 14? More? 14 and a half? Fine, we'll say everything ran as normal.
But I'm keeping my eye on you 2018
The Assembly Rooms opened on 11 January 1787 for the Caledonian Hunt Ball. The building was funded by public subscription, costing over £6,000. The prominent site at the centre of George Street, in the centre of the recently established New Town, was donated by the town council. The Assembly Rooms was designed by John Henderson, a local architect, who died young shortly after the building was completed.
The building was extended several times during the 19th century. In 1818 a portico was added by William Burn. Burn and his partner David Bryce designed the Music Hall in 1843. Finally, in 1907, new side wings were completed to designs by Robert Rowand Anderson and Balfour Paul.
The building is now also used as an arts venue and for public events

The refurbished and restored 18th Century Buxton Assembly Rooms within the Buxton Crescent Hotel. The Assembly Rooms were designed by architect John Carr (as was much of Georgian Buxton) in the neo-classical style for his client William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire and his wife, Duchess Georgiana who were both regular visitors to balls, dances and card playing.
This, along with a few starfighters using cockpit boxen, will be my last window display for the King of Prussia LEGO Store.
I am very thankful for the opportunity to display in the window, and I hope I get the chance at some other store in the future. It's a fun way to show kids what's possible with LEGO.
Less than three weeks until the move to Charlotte! It still doesn't feel quite real yet.
Cardiff Bay played a major part in the development and success of Cardiff as an exporter of coal to power the industrial age. Tiger Bay is historically one of the first multicultural ports in Great Britain and the community comes from up to 45 different nationalities. The docks were regenerated in 1999 by the creation of the Cardiff Bay Barrage. The 5 structures that reach out into the Bay from outside the Welsh Assembly building are known as dolphins. They are timber structures with 4 almost upright corner piles, sloping slightly inwards, and cross-braced, with metal plate reinforcements at angles. Dolphins each connected to wall by 2 walkways at low level and were used for mooring ships during repairs.
'The Assembly Rooms' is the name of a locally well-known pub 10 mins away from home. My regular bus-stop is bang opposite this pub. To me, this building structure (kind of Victorian) is always a treat to watch when I am waiting for the bus. Now, doused in snow, it is looking extra beautiful.
The small houses are the roof windows of the building
I took this shot from the opposite side where a tree was hanging low. I could have cleared up the jet trail, but now I only believe everything adds to beauty !

Some, however, do not have to make Poke'mecha themselves, and instead can afford the necessary expenses to have someone else build it for them.
At Cerulean Hydraulics, a corporation that makes water-type Pokemon mechs, is hard at work in the construction of a new Poke'mech.
