I very nearly posted this as the Star Wars set for today, but it’s the City one! Today we have a man in a space suit, ready to celebrate the silly season with his wands 🙂

Space Fairy?

Decided to cook some taco mince… went a bit overboard…

• 1.5kg of cheap mince
• 6 small onions
• 4 chopped tomatoes
• 2 cans of diced tomatoes
• 1 can of beans
• 1 jar of salsa
• 1/2 mug of EPIC Taco Spice Mix

Brown mince, cook onions, dump some spice on while doing that. Drain fat.

Dump all in the slow cooker, we’ll see what it’s like in the morning.

It’s nearly half way through the month, so it’s time to put up the tree!

The tree, a place for presents!

Today’s set is a great little BBQ, ready for grilling some sausages at lunch time!

A BBQ for lunch time!

Today we have the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer (AT-TE) - a mighty assault vehicle for the battlefield.

All Terrain Tactical Enforcer (AT-TE)

Sometimes you have to pause and take stock of your situation. After yesterday’s escalation by our captor, we decided to try and make our lives a little more comfortable while we can. The grass in the yard is comfortable enough for me to lie on when there is not another option, but for my poor friend the flat surface is torture.

She explained that in the past she has been able to find comfort in a curved surface such as a chair or a soft pillow, so we continued the excavation of a hole dug for a diversion tactic in the hopes of making do. It seems to have worked, and our captor did not instantly destroy it upon finding it. For a moment I felt he cared for us, but I am sure this cannot be true.

Today we have a lady firefighter ready for work and play - though I’m not sure the jaws of life are a great way of holding a hot dog 🙂

Lady firefighter ready for anything!
