Holiday Lego building
As is often the case in the Christmas period, the kids get bought lots of Lego which is great fun.

Below are some of the photos of the finished products as well as a short timelapse video on a build.

They just don’t make tech like they used too!

What’s in my bag?
First of all, I guess it is the bag itself which is not included in the picture. My bag is a Case Logic 14inch Laptop bag. It is not that big and sometimes I regret not having purchased a larger bag so I can fit more in, however it has its benefit being a bit more compact.
