One of Those Days

Yesterday was one of those days. Missed the end of two ebay auctions that I should have won because I forgot the end time. Lost another because I sniped too early. discovered I'd ordered two ironclads from Peter Pig of a type where there was only one ship in the class (and ordered one of a class where there were two), submitted the wrong set of orders in an online Diplomacy game, thus reassigning my formerly "shakey" position as "no hope", and had a tube of superglue burst over my fingers.

Still, on the plus side we did have a nice afternoon out at the local Am Dram society's performance of "The Railway Children" (sadly without a spectacular on-stage appearance by a train, but they did a great job with stage smoke, sound efects and lighting), topped off with fish and chips and a nice white wine, and then followed by a completely unexpected early birthday present - thanks Steve :)

So all in all, not a bad day. And happy that the only things that were screwed up were, in reality, not that important at all. Apart from the glue. Messy!

    Been there done that, got the extra models. Can you convert the extra one to another class or a wreck? If not cannibalism is always an alternative.
