AO3: Goooooooooal!

DB contemplated a few days ago: As well as being a fine excuse to have a glass of wine at 2pm on a Saturday and do nothing much else, the thing I like the most about the soccer world cup is the opportunity to completely escape the world for 90 minutes. I think that's why some people go to church, and why the rest of us heathens play with toy trains.

Once the game is done, any thoughts of gardening, painting, carwashing and house cleaning couldn't be further from the woefully inadequate forefront of my mind, so one might as well pay a semi-conscious visit to the peaceful haven that is the train room, where there is nary a vuvuzela within earshot.

My AO passenger car master continues to slowly take shape. I've cast a few ends (which have come out superbly (as well as their masters would allow anyway) and made up some side bits to stick together.

As I write this, I have the sides, ends and and roof stuck together, with the big lump awaiting sanding and finishing. Apologies for the crappy cameraphone picture, but sometimes the best camera is the one you have at hand (or in your pocket) !

[update before posting: NZ scores a goal! In the world cup! Against another team! And not an own-goal either! The crowd goes wild!]
