    Tuesday Night: Today was clear and sunny, about 26C, calm..... despite forecasts of bad weather wt the end of lasdt week, it's been fine, each day has been sunny and 26c seems to be the daily average at the moment, it's getting down to 17C at night now though, but be honest it's lovely like this.....

    Saturday afternoon Antony and I went out on the bancales and had a fly with the electric models (which I can now both charge and balance). He had spent some time on the simulator this week and I have been giving him some lessons on that, so without a "buddy box" I was trusting him here somewhat.....

    I let him have a go with the Lady B first and he did really well, so then later when I flew my new Tiger Moth, I let him fly that as well. The wind was from the north and steady at little over 3knots...... These are the best conditions for here, so it was perfect! The little Tiger handled so well it reminded me of my old BE2c, yet it's so tiny and but it these good conditions it flys so beautifuly!

    Just a foot note about flying, so does my little helicopter...it's utterly amazing..Again it feels like a big stable I/C model, yet I can wizz it around the lounge and really fly it, it's so compcat!    Mark you have to get one of these!!! They are only $34 US from Hobby King, you'll utterly love it, it's well well worth it, it's the best one by a long way!!!!!

    I have spent the last two days fitting the backs on the Victorian Street precincts for the exhibition which we are had to set up at 8pm Monday at the Casa de Cultura in Calpe.I measured the size of the wood I needed, I even double checked it, I was right but the woodyard cut it 100mm short and I didn't find out until Sunday, so I ended up doing the backs a completey different way. It was the way I origially planned to do the job, so iIn the end I was pleased I did do it this way as it is much better and the whole thing looks tidier......

    We had to get up really early today to go to calpe for 8am.... urggg... I took most of the exhibit in the first trip and when I arrived we set up the cage and the tabels, so Zack and Debra were able to get on and get things in place... Chrissie came with me on the second trip and we finished setting the street up....

    I think it looks fabulous set up in the cage here and so well lite with natural above light..... We should just leave it here....



    This evening we have all been back to Calpe again for the Inauguration of the exhibiton......

    Chrissie proudly displays our article in the Dolls House World Magazine, it was the first time we have seen the actual mag...it looks brilliant in there.....



    People View the Street.... There's a lot of trust here as access is good, but we still have our rope barrier... stops the kids.... strangles the little bastards...lolol

    Great view from upstairs, the Inuguration evening......

    The Inauguration.....
