life goes on & on & on...

I haven't posted for almost 2 weeks..... why? because I have been doing stuff with my limited spare time, I have been working on the model warship most nights for at lest 1 hour and I have found that it's so good to just sit back and do model building. I think it's something I've been missing, the reward of building with my own hands, yer I've done a bit of it with the model railway stuff, but it doesn't seem to have the same "buzz" at the end of a project. I don't know why that is....

But I also know that when I have finished the build and have sailed the corvette a few times I will be looking to start the next project... in this case the 1/200 scale model of the IJN Yamato I have sitting around here. In the mean time I will get the 1/72 corvette finished. I have enjoyed radio controlled model ships almost as long as model railways, there close to one another in the model building skills you need, but both of them are far enough apart to give a different feeling of reward at the end of the project.

As an interesting aside, I ALWAYS feel as if my skills and level of build can be much better, I am always trying to be better, but having looked at some r/c ships on you-tube, I'm feeling a whole lot better about my skill levels! some of them are just so bad it's not funny! mind you on the other hand some of the workmanship is mind blowing in it's perfection!

Now for the weight....

It's very slowing ticking down, today's weight after yesterdays eating blow out was 128.7kg, so my weekend highs are getting lower slowly! I'm walking/biking 40 to 50 minutes a day, 6 days a week and it's noticeable that my energy levels and wellness feeling have both gone up in the last few weeks!
