Re: What have you just bought?
A solid oak, L shaped standing desk for my new office space. It is 2m x 2m and 80cm deep. I would have gone for something smaller, but 2m is a standard size so is cheaper and has quicker delivery. Not cheap but it should last and saves me using different tables and cabinets for equipment. The electrician is coming this week to fit power and ethernet.

Hi paps, I have the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Chromebook which I bought in April 2024.
When my Acer laptop died (using Microsoft and Linux) I decided to break away from Microsoft and I have never looked back. I'm not a gamer, unless I can count 3D Sudoku  , and find the Lenovo chromebook does everything I want in every other area.
I would be interested to hear how you get on with your new purchase.

Ha, same here. I've still got to do the Ferrari Daytona SP3 42143. The original batman car - 76328. The Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E - 42171. And the Wall-E & Eve set.
Not been able to get my head together just lately and everything's been put on the back burner. But been after the Iron Man set since it came out so depending on how a certain hospital appointment goes tomorrow I'm going to start it this weekend.

Oh I've got about 20+ sets to build still. Ran out of space for them all. There is another 5 not in the photo. Like a few speed champions cars, Disney camera, Nintendo Gameboy, Iron Man bust. Some of the smaller ones I can probably get built soon.
Hope your appointment goes well tomorrow.
