    @Toadimus Prime,
    Best wishes in your ongoing battle, I hope that some robot time can be a positive distraction in the dark moments and that you can ultimately come out the other side of this struggle as the victor.

    Thanks people - I'm keeping myself going, holding onto the hope that they seem to have a plan in mind. It's just going to be the tortuous wait for the scans now, then we'll get a clearer picture. I'm staying as positive as I can. It's not easy, and I think this whole year is pretty much going to be a write off, but with a bit of luck there'll be many more years to make up for it!

    (Yes, I'm terrified, but who wouldn't be? I can do this though.)

    Just a quick note - I don't know how much I'll be posting in the next couple of days. I'm ok, I'm just processing a lot, so if I go silent there's nothing to worry about. Thanks for all the support everyone - it means the world to me

    Just read last night that the U.K. is "going back to normal" in regards to the certain problem we are all facing. Good luck, I hope it doesn't come back to bite you all in the ass. I understand the need to move on from this, but how can we if we don't get a proper handle on the situation. Take care and please be safe.

    Been putting Lego together with the little one this afternoon (yet more Encanto stuff!) and actually a cool little set….

    It’s like Lego went a bit Polly Pocket! All folds in to a little box nice and neat, recommended if you’ve got small humans!

    "Going back to normal" = "we give up, we have no idea what normal is anymore."

    Allegedly.

    And while I'm all sunny and optimistic, it took me 4.5 hours to complete a 17.6 mile journey across London today. Thanks to the staggering lack of joined-up thinking/co-ordination on Public Transport these days I could have gone to New York in almost the same time period.

    Bah.

    I think I might get Stridor while he's cheap(ish) as his oversized stature seems to mean he will actually fit Revelations Fisto pretty well too. Right, that's a plan.

    Well blow me down! It's only that Hero Quest I bought and completely forgot about!
    IMG_20220122_190705.jpg

    It looks pretty great but I hope the age pimit is more of a guide, not keen on waiting nearly a decade before I can play it with my boys!

    Speaking of which, in solidarity with @Brum Bot (I think??) My kids brought home COVID for the weekend :( .

    I'm still testing negative for the moment, as is the wife - but it all feels a bit....

    It is the Way.

    Ditched my Origins besides Orko, the Sky Sled & the Land-shark (they go rather well with Masterverse) and the Castle (taken over by Decepticons).

    Great fun but it was too much given my TF habit, plus in the end I just liked the Masterverse figures more.

    Watching Revelation now. Evil-Lyn was already my favourite, and now look. :lol

    I know there's a few metal fans in these parts, and I know LotR is also a favourite.

    If you happen to love both, I just saw this in my Google algorithm:

    Spent the weekend decorating the new lounge, which means I’ll *finally* be able to set up my new A/V kit and properly check out the 4K version of the ‘86 movie I was gifted for Xmas :D
