Crew for the Panzer...not really the appropriate uniforms ( hats) for 1939...but I think they will do.
Wanted to make Kissy and Jonathan clothes for this month's sewing challenge, but being sick really slowed me down. Still I made them each a new alpaca wig, finished Kissy's nightgown, and made some unexpectedly nice pants for Jonathan :)
Penny Sampler progress this weekend includes: Small diamond paper pieced top border, machine applique Dilly & Little Bird (both still need eyes and French knots added), and crossroads block.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague looks at the sign of the newly built British Embassy in the Somali capital Mogadishu. Hague was in Mogadishu today to open the new British diplomatic mission over 20 years after it's predecessor was closed down and evacuated in 1991 as Somalia descended into over two decades of civil war and conflict, but with an improving security situation in the Horn of Africa country, the United Kingdom has become the first Western country to re-establish a permanent diplomatic presence in Somalia.

While cleaning out some of my old stuff at my parents' house I found my old personal stereo - I think I must have got it around about 1985 or 1986. The iPod's 8GB memory will hold about 4 days worth of listening; that's 64 C90 cassette tapes.

PEDRO THE LION - "Progress"
Here we have our dust free dining set
We guarantee it won't collect a spec
Freeing up the children to instead
Grow into your molding
Heed more of your scolding
Go early to their new self-making beds
It seems like you'd be tired of losing face
Like you'd want to put the children in their place
The more you have to tell them to do their chores
The more you run the risk of being ignored
If you're lucky they'll turn out as good as you
You tell them that they're good kids
But you know that it's not true
Your father drank a little
You're on liver number two
Progress has a way of feigning ease
Convenient new inventions bait the tease
For, though it is impossible to cure
A husband bent on cheating
The oxygen's depleting
A child who's always bragging
A wife's persistent nagging
We're equipped to live as though it were
If you're lucky they'll turn out as good as you
You tell them that they're good kids
But you know that it's not true
Your father drank a little
You're on liver number two
Most of the main building is complete, with some interior detail added (look through doors on top level). Going for a "old style building with a modern update" look. Still working on the bridge and platform island. The tricky part is only having 8 studs for an island where our club has some wider trains (8-10 wide).
The pontoon continues to make its way into the Locks, as crowds watch from each side. After completing its multi-day journey along the Pacific Ocean and through the Straight of Juan de Fuca, the float-in through the Locks was successfully completed in just 45 minutes.
Crews floated in the first longitudinal pontoon for the new SR 520 bridge through the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks on August 11, 2012. Arriving just after 6 p.m., the entire operation took around 45 minutes and was observed by hundreds of spectators enjoying the sunny Saturday in Seattle, Washington. This pontoon is the first of 77 that will make their way from their casting basins to Lake Washington during the next two years.
This locomotive was built by Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn in 1946. It is the last remaining example of a 16 inch inside cylinder locomotive designed by Hawthorn Leslie at Newcastle.

As you can see I am not too much further than my last progress shot of this devil puzzle,
Either I have not figured out how to assemble a puzzle in a timely manner, or I am not cut out to be a puzzler.
In comments I posted my last update. As you can see not too much progress.
In all fairness I don't sit down and spends hours working on it. But sometimes I sit here about an hour and only find 4 or 5 pieces. Grrrrrrrrr.
And this is only a 750 pc puzzle. Can't imagine these people on here that do 5000 pc puzzles in a few days.
If you can see progress anywhere in Rotterdam, it's here on the Wilhelminapier, where many high rises go up. Taken from the Erasmusbrug.
