I love the little trees at the bottom. They look like the ones I have for the top of a Christmas cake.
I think these must have been from the same kind of thing. They've been in the Xmas stuff for ages. He saw the new Lego Eiffel Tower model and wanted it to look like that. The real thing costs £550, is 5' tall and would take a week to build I think so I'm glad he's happy with his own model. I need to get some felt for grass to cover the base and then he can stick whatever he wants on there.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Hubby knows now to quickly turn the sound off on the "Daisy's" perfume ad. It's been running for years. Trouble is, every time we see the word,or the plant....he gets caught up with the ditty. Went into M &S yesterday for a drink....was going to say bad service, but it was non-existant!!
If it's a dinosaur or anything with wheels then that's his brother's department. There's very little overlap with those two, they're like chalk and cheese.

Possum loved dinosaurs @B3, after being given a video of a cartoon film about them. She ended up with a whole DUPLO set of them. After that it was horses, but then we did start her on riding at 3 years old cod the henighbours across teh road had a riding school.
Never keen on Barbies, except the Little Mermaid version and didn't play much with other stereo typical toys. She had a kitchen set as well as a DIY tools set but they were hardly touched them except when the gang came round for mums and kids gaherings.

I think the kids get the dinosaur thing from me. I've got a couple of shelves in my office which are full of natural history things that I've picked up along with a few fossils and things like that. I've even got a life-sized dodo skeleton made out of Lego that they're dying to play with.
My grump today: they don't make things like they used to. I worked out that I could recycle the warm condenser water from the tumble dryer by putting it into a hot water bottle to keep my feet warm while sitting at my desk. We had two hot water bottles in the cupboard, one that was my sister's back in the mid 90s and the other which my wife was given as an Xmas present years ago and still had the tags on it because it's never been used. The older one turned out to have a leak due to a degraded rubber seal and the plastic stopper on the newer one crumbled to bits as soon as I tried to tighten it. Do hardware shops sell replacement stoppers these days?

I think you have to be careful of the rubber itself degrading. I remember reading recently about people getting burned because they were filling them up- often with water that was too hot, and the inevitable was happening. I use one of those heat pads filled with whatever it is they fill them with. I need one at least a couple of times a day for my back, virtually all year round. I'm sure I have a hot water bottle lying around somewhere @wild edges . If I knew where it was, I could send you the stopper. But....
