We are also travelling in October and I'm probably setting myself up for a fall, so the numbers are not dates, right 😅 #ArtPrompts

Does anyone else do that thing where you lock your car with the remote and walk away and halfway to the supermarket door you forget whether you locked your car so you click the remote but you are too far away so you put the remote to your head and click it and it works? Should I stop doing that?

Pattaya marathon tomorrow… maybe 🤔 Cancelled earlier this year, rescheduled for rainy season, now we have a “severe meteorological event”. Supposed to be picking up my race kit. Our road is flooded, I’m going nowhere 😭

Progress on the Spitfire. Wing and nose structure mostly done. Also pictured: the skins that will go over each wing one day in the distant future. Next task: cockpit 👍 #PaperCraft #HistScaleModels

A paper model of a Spitfire aircraft in progress: the structure of the wings and nose have been built. It looks like a lattice of cardboard struts and panels.

I'll post an update on the Spitfire soon, but in the meantime... paper models are a lot like plastic models. I spend a lot of time saying "that's never going to fit", dropping parts on the floor, and starting new kits before I have finished the previous one 👍 #papercraft #scalemodels

A piece of a papercraft model cut out and laid on a green cutting mat, with some scissors. I have started applying some of the folds.

Two parts of a papercraft model ready to be joined together. Folding, gluing and shaping of the parts has been done. The parts are the hull and underside of a Star Wars AT-AT walker.

Very calm down by the water today. My neighbour says rainy season is over.

View across a bay in the early morning, some low bands of dark cloud but blue sky above. The sky is pink at the horizon, silhouetting the hills and condos on the far shore. The sea is calm.

The parts assembled into an interlocking lattice-type structure of the inside of the nose of the Spitfire.

Saturday morning dogs club. Anubis and his gang looking cool. They've got their own tag.

Three street dogs sitting on a wide walkway, one at the back sitting on a raised platform that I think is a bench. It has a graffiti tag on it.

Street dogs hanging out at a bend in the road by the sea. There is construction going on behind, and the dogs are sitting against red and white concrete barriers marking the edge of the road.

View out over the water as the sun rises into a partially cloudy sky. There is unfinished construction works in the foreground, a jetty in the middle distance, and the other side of the bay in the background.

The USS Abraham Lincoln docked in Laem Chabang port on its way home from deployment. That's just down the road from us, so I went up to the viewpoint to see if I could spot it (Laem Chabang is just behind those hills). No luck, I think it is further south outside Pattaya.

#histscalemodels Let's call the turret complete. Apparently, tankers are never beating the pack rat allegations. I spent a lot of this afternoon expanding on the stowage, camo net, tarps and bags and other random stuff. Can (and will) probably add more, but I like the current profile.
