Title: Just when you thought you had "grown up"
Post by: davieb on August 12, 2013, 05:20:52 PM
Hi all  :wave:

Today we have had a ride over to Hattons to pick some "bits and pieces" up my Dad spotted something else  :hmmm:

"Nanoblock Kits"  :doh:............So being a fan of Lego in my youth I just had to get one  :-[

They are just like a small version of Lego, and look like they will be fun to build  :uneasy:

Here's a link to the kits on Hattons site

And for anyone interested the Makers site

I have just watched a few videos on YouTube about these little things  :tv:

One of my favorite sayings is......

Growing Old is Mandatory, But Growing Up is Optional.

As they would say "simples !"  :doh:

And a pic of some of the left over parts  :worried:

Can anyone think of a use for the left overs  :uneasy:

And remember, the first 40 years of childhood are the hardest.

After that I'm told it gets easier! :claphappy:
