Crate Expectations

cloud storage tower shipping crateThey told me not to get up early, so after I awoke at 10am I stayed in bed for another hour anyway. I jumped at the chance to go shopping because he said we could go to Giant Tesco. This is because the selection of Lego at Sainsbury's is meagre and I actually have all of it already, so the Lego Porn is no good there. Giant Tesco has a better range and I had £11 to burn.

They have a vast packing crate which is no longer needed and will shortly be broken up and put in the skip. Of course, we both want it for PuddleParty purposes or even just to burn but we simply don't have the facilities to get it home or store it. You know when you save a file to the cloud? Well, those big black towers in the background are clouds, apparently, and they go in the crate which is why it's 8 feet tall. I'm still not allowed to use the powered pallet truck.
In Tesco I chose a fire-jumping Lego Chima, which is their latest wheeze for extracting money from the youth of the world. 
The giant Lego building is not finished, for it's one of those painting-the-Forth-bridge things that can never be completed. But we declared it done anyway, so we could use the table for Monopoly. It took us an hour to demolish it, separating off the Humanoids, lights and blocks from all the other funny-shaped bits, because I've got so much, it's not going to fit in my box any more. Perhaps we should have retrieved the massive packing crate after all.
