I feel like such a big kid, because I had an opportunity to briefly  wonder around the shops this afternoon and what catches my attention? A dart board and model aeroplanes. Its not very grown up, but its alot of fun.

I’ve been thinking about getting a dart board for a while, and couldn’t pass this one up at $6 a pop, with two sets of darts included. I’m completely doomed against the eagle-eye of ‘The Bulldozer’, but we’ll have some spirited contests all the same.

But, forget all about that now, and focus on the Series one: Super Contest Airplane resting radiantly on the couch. The Power Eagle: Rubber Band powered plane, which only cost $2. And which I successfully constructed myself, and am now proudly showing off.

The instructions were terribly daunting, and there was one very painful mishap when attaching the rubber band. But the little plane was airborne after an hour’s construction, and I think that’s pretty good going. I tried to fly it down the hallway, but that wasn’t working well. I’ll have another go tomorrow, outside, where my dog will probably chew it up in a fit of jealousy, but that doesn’t matter because I also bought one for ‘The Bulldozer’, so I have a spare.
