La “sindrome da rientro” può essere accentuata:
1. dalla frustrazione e dalla delusione derivate dal non aver raggiunto appieno gli obiettivi del viaggio: divertimento, riposo, salute, cultura, ecc. Solitamente infatti la gente le vacanze di aspettative superiori a quanto dovrebbe.
2. dalla difficoltà di adattamento che la vacanza stessa aveva comportato e dalla fatica ad essa connessa,
3. dalle lunghe code, dallo stress della guida e dall’inquinamento legato al traffico in un paese come l’Italia dove le ferie sono ancora concentrate nel mese di agosto.
La Sindrome da rientro dura solitamente qualche giorno ma può perdurare per oltre un mese a seconda della durata del periodo del viaggio.
Solitamente più è lunga la vacanza, più è diversa rispetto alle normali attività, maggiore è lo sforzo per recuperare l’efficienza lavorativa, la forma psico-fisica che ci consentiva di avere successo nella professione svolta. La vacanza, come tempo connesso al risposo ed allo svago, provoca un allontanamento dagli schemi mentali abituali che ci consentivano di organizzare la giornata lavorativa e di risolvere i problemi della vita quotidiana. Ne consegue che si può verificare un quadro di Wash Out che può essere fortemente ansiogeno. Si dimenticano progetti, appuntamenti, numeri telefonici, schemi mentali, in breve si teme di perdere ciò che si aveva, con conseguenze sul piano economico, professionale, affettivo. Si teme di non essere più ciò che si era prima delle vacanze. Era stato il nostro cervello che per consentirci il riposo aveva cancellato il superfluo e talora anche più.

Route 66 back on track @ Lego Convention Bricky Way 2018
General Description : ER0L’s, Gábors and my second shot at a joint Lego Route 66 desert layout
ER0L’s (left) section:
- Moving bus & police command vehicle,
- V8-Diner,
- Wedding Chapel,
- Pump Jack and TX Fuels Utility Pick-Up Truck,
- cars,
- cacti and plants in new green tones.
Gábor’s (middle) section:
- Car Repair Shop & Scrap Yard,

My (right) section:
- Mojave Inn Motel,
- Lerner Airfield Memorial,
- all semi trucks & two pick-up trucks,
- CN & CITGO freight train,
- Side road and railway crossing with road markings,
- cacti & other vegetation in good old green.
Each of us contributed to common layout features such as the R66 modules, telegraph masts, sand-colored base-plates, train tracks, etc.; all of us chose plenty of individual decoration features in addition.
Orange and red convertibles in my section made & owned by ER0L.
The text I proposed for our MOC card at Bricky Way 2018:
(Somewhat adapted and translated into Hungarian by Gábor)
“Just as the movie title, “Planes, Trains & Automobiles” were what brought Gábor Horvath, Marcus Paul (AKA “ER0L”) and Steffen Kasteleiner (AKA “Buff83ST”) together during their first intermezzo at a Lego Convention called “Zusammengebaut 2016” in Borken, Hessen, Germany. As avid fans of American roadside scenery and culture, set into the more arid regions of America’s Western deserts, this time, they are displaying an extension of their strip of the famous Route 66 with its array of typical sights a driver might come across on a long-distance ride out West: an iconic, roadside “V8 Diner”, a Wedding Chapel, a working Pump Jack conveying some of America’s “Black Gold”, a Car Repair Shop and its Desert Scrapyard, a desolate Mobil Home, the somewhat spacey Mojave Inn Motel at an intersection, and an aviation-related monument to Lerner Airfield as displayed in Borken in the year 2016.
Set into the joint layouts are loads of iconic American cars, trucks and some North American freight train equipment, as the railroad topic is more prominent at Bricky Way 2018’s layout than it had been before in Borken.
Some of the cars can “magically” move, and as the lights go out, a few things are going to shine brightly in the dark blue desert night sky…
Motivations
Among the builders’ motivations were the desire to create in Lego some of their dreams, fantasies and favorite notions and clichés of the American West and convey them into their builds, to build something realistic and yet playable, to include lighting and functionalities in manifold and interesting, sometimes less conventional ways.
Scale
What they call the “Large City Scale” – a way of building significantly larger than any traditional Lego City scales are typically designed in – allows the builders to optically enhance the differences in size and dimensions of vehicles, trains and buildings to what they consider as close to realistic as possible.
SNOT
(“Studs Not On Top”) techniques are being used widely, but not exhaustingly by the three builders, who are not afraid to show some studs here and there. Especially landscaping works quite well with studs.
Building Time
This is very hard to determine, as certain builds have been around way before the event, and others have been built more specifically for the opportunity of Bricky Way 2018. However, the decision to have a joint layout together in Hungary was made a good year ago.”
Thanks for looking!
Today was Christmas in Ukraine! (My backround is Ukraine) so mum got a little haul like not a ginormous one but 4 box kinda one...so that means....if I got the mh dolls I wanted now...will the pullip come on Christmas?!!

The Pz IV is a size stand in for the second sherman and the Figs in no way resemble their final location, as this still is a WIP and just their to get a general Idea for me and you.
Please, CONCERNS AND CRITICISM WELCOME!

The mountains and the sky make a great background to the rocks because they are not distracting when looking at the photo.

Mais uma do meu Filtro dos Sonhos. Mandei revelar essa foto em um tamanho grande e ficou tão bonita! (gostei dessa, ela é tão simples - talvez confusa - mas, para mim, especial)

Working at my local library branch on an EOY post, getting a few weird looks on the attire.
But seriously, how can you cover up legs like these? And the iPhone's camera really doesn't do them justice...
Landing place close to the Hotel Seeburg. In the backround is the mount Pilatus (centre), left side the mount Stanserhorn.
Dear Partner - I want your gift to be perfect! How do you feel about these fabrics as a starting point? What solid would you like, or would you prefer a low volume backround?
