So many projects, so little time...

...and theres just never enough time any more. Every evening I browse my usual haunts, looking for something to distract my mind whilst I work on which ever project has priority, currently I'm building a 'swamp house' for RM7, and I also have to finish my harbour crane by painting it. Then I have to finish another model house, this one a generic 'American style' wooden house, and also two commercial buildings which feature corrugated metal roofs. Then I have to paint a lot of packing cases which I built to go inside my commercial buildings. Apart from some wooden fence, and brick wall elements which also need painting, I only have to paint twenty odd figures and then I'm ready to start on the models for RM8...

Whilst all this is going on, my Norman Keep is sitting on my window sill, staring at me and any day soon, a client is due to inform me whether a set of drawings I did for her need to be corrected.

So much to do, and now its already 3am!

...which means its the tenth anniversary of 9/11. Already! Its horrific how short a decade is when your at the end of it. Its election time in Denmark at the moment (we vote on thursday) and the polls indicate a change of regime. The socialists stand to resume power, which they haven't had for a decade. I am not a big fan of socialism, in fact I think all ideologies are a curse that only lead to tears, so I'd be happier to see the current government continue. The fact is however, both sides of the political divide here are pro EU so I don't anticipate things are going to get better in Denmark, regardless of who wins, I only anticipate that things will get far worse, under a socialist government.

I know how you feel about not having enough time, I've got tons of projects too only there're 1:1 scale. Had some people come by yesterday to give us an offer on finishing the windows before the winter sets in. 32000 SEK :o( so it looks like I'll have to find the time after all.
See you soon
