"Home
Home has been on my agenda lately. I've been kind of lost, floating in space without a home in the way I was used to.
I've left the person and the apartment that I called home. This made me "homeless". That was hard but it also gave me a strange feeling of freedom. I could live where ever I chose.
I think home is a space not a place - a space where no one should enter without your permission. A space where you could feel relatively secure. Maybe it can be an object, but in that case the object makes a space, in your mind, a space where you feel at ease.
Home means a lot to me, it has always done, but maybe in a different way now. I am my home. All I really need could fit in a suitcase or two.
At the moment I am working on "Memoire no 1", right now this is my home."
In the last few years I've regularly built small bits of landscape to serve as a backdrop for my minifig scale models. I'm more of a vehicle builder than a builder of organic things, though, so trees are a challenge. I have completed several new models recently (which I have yet to photograph) and I'm building another bit of landscape, for them, so I'm now trying a few new trees. By hinging the branches, they look a bit less layered than my older ones.
I've come to talk with you again...
This is Luna. She is a girl from the dark side of the moon, who moves inevitably toward the light and toward love. She carries a lot of depth and sensitivity with her and can see all sides of an issue... considering everyone's feelings and arriving at what are always wise and good solutions in the end. She came from the darkness, but loves light, color and joy around her now.

These farmers have a relatively new, small but neat and tidy looking house. A few years ago they added an ugly looking house trailer. I believe that the above was added over the summer of 2022.
We could speculate about it but I shall keep an eye on it for developments. The owners of the property vacation in a warmer climate in winter. If I see the couple who look in on the property in winter, as I did last year, some answers could be forthcoming. Of course, a picture of the ugly trailer will be forthcoming too.
I have a bit more time to build this week (since Thursday was Ascension Day, which is a national holiday in the Netherlands), and made a fair bit of progress on this model. The tail fins and the aft fuselage are coming together and I completed the bays for the main gear. You can see one leg extended and the other retracted in this picture. So far it works like a charm.
There still are a fair few things I have to build, such as the upper half of the aft fuselage including the air brake and the cockpit interior (and floor). And then I have to make stickers but the model is getting very close to completion, so this is likely the last work in progress picture.
