Fun Stuff Around the House

[a_contemplative_life]

Thought I'd start a little thread on things around the house that are fun. This does not have to be toys, but can be anything that is not work-related and brings pleasure.

The latest arrival in our household is a Meccano "Special Edition" erector set that allows you to build this locomotive, which goes in forward and reverse. About 750 pieces and 2 days to complete. A perfect wintertime project...if you are into tiny nuts and bolts.

They're so good, I only use them for music. I use a different set of headphones for movies & games, and another for portable use

I'll add a couple more, just to keep my pitiful little thread going. I guess no one around here has too much fun stuff at home.

"Cookie" the hamster...



"Beyblades." Let 'em rip and watch'em battle!

$100 that are worth it for some private heaven




Up next, another kind of heavenly experience.
just stole an image off google. Mine are too nasty looking from overuse

Ahh . . . creature comforts! I suppose I should take a picture of our electric blanket controller

Fun and games... this is a selection of the boxed PC games I keep from ye olde times (along with some truly ancient computer books - don't ask)



Then we have a few euro boardgames. Carcassonne got a lot of play time and is very popular with the wife. The kids prefer Catan and Citadels. The latest additions to the collection are Ubongo and Pandemic, both of them very very good. Not pictured is my collection of wargames from the 70s, most of them from Avalon Hill, all bulky boxes with hefty boards, undecipherable rules and myriads of counters, which I have never played and probably never will. The mark of a true geek.
