OK so here we are on chapter 42 of my little
rambling adventure through the world according to Adam. Amazingly enough
those lovely chaps in the white coats have yet to arrive (particularly
surprising when I look over the previous 41 bits of "evidence").
So with a small truck load of Valium, several car loads of anti depressants
and a 17 kilo bag of Catnip (honestly it is getting harder and harder
to settle Jade down) lets go over the latest happenings on Planet Jandowae.
|

It would appear that the federal gumbyment has
repealed its law on members of the Wuiske Clan from reproducing
(don't blame me, I voted Liberal) and Jade is going to be bringing
a "little bundle of joy" into the world…. That's right she is buying
me a whole swag of model kits! |
|
|
As well as this she appears to be pregnant. So with
all the "Dooms Dayers" hastily changing their predictions for the end
of the world from 21/12/2012 to the 14th of January 2010 (weather permitting
of course) we should be expecting our first child!
As a result of this little bit of information, I have spent the last
little while trying desperately to avoid the never ending conversations
regarding baby names, rotating the house to face East and furniture
that should bankrupt a small country to provide seventeen star accommodation
for the Wuiske Curtain Climber until it has reached the grand old age
of 0.5 years.
|
|
As a result of trying to avoid these enthralling
conversations, I have managed to get a reasonable amount of older
projects cleared from my work bench. In fact I am so overjoyed
at Jade's latest method of ensuring my collection of modern currency
is displayed in all the finest cash registers on the Darling Downs
that I have done some calculations...
|
 |
|
Based on the number of "projects" I have
managed to clear from the bench with the threat of one child, it is possible
that after child 146 I should be able to complete that second coal train
I have been dreaming of.
In any case all of this aside, I am presently searching high and low for
people to blame for not informing me of the instant insanity switch that
seems to get flicked as soon as a member of the female population mentions
the words "I'm Pregnant" (followed obviously by continued screams and
tears of joy and then an in depth study of a semi wet stick with a stripe
on it!). So to the male population of the world, WHY did no one tell me
that there are in existence baby names books that comprise over 500 pages?
WHY did no one tell me about the amazing reactions that are approaching
nuclear levels when previously quiet and unassuming family members discover
said names? WHY am I supposed to care about losing a guest bedroom that
I never wanted in the first place? And finally WHY can no one tell me
where I left the receipt as well as what the return policies are???
So with all of the excitement of the "insanity switch" being locked in
the turbo position I thought it was about time to start being a caring
and attentive husband and fulfill my husbandly duties…. |
 |
That being said, I am proud to say
that over the last fortnight I have managed to clock up over 3,000klms
on the bike, paint over 60 feet of track on the layout and complete
a couple more wagons to add to the fleet.
Next I think I'll take Connie Dogs for a walk, I hear Darwin is
lovely this time of year. |
|
| Getting back into the real world for a
second…. And back again (hope you enjoyed that), Jade has suggested that
we run what should go down in history as the worlds most insane competition…
|
|
A lucky online customer who can guess the Sex,
Species, closest Tare Weight and Length over Buffers of our first
RTS (Ready To Scream) miniature will win a prize… Depending on
the level of screaming the prize may actually bare a striking
similarity to the miniature in question but as always we shall
see how we go on that front.

Guesses can be entered in the "Other Information"
field of the online ordering page and is open from now until the release
date (anticipated mid Jan 2010).
On a totally different note, we will be releasing a lot of new kits over
the next little while. We have the first of our Lander Car kits being
released. These have been designed to suit the modern image modelers and
have complete underframe and end details as applied to the coaches today.
We will also be re-releasing our Sunshine Express coaches. First to be
released will be the BC baggage car and the MV mail van. We will also
be releasing another container wagon (pewter and skeletal of course) and
there is a loco or two just around the corner as well.

Perhaps next chapter I can get away from
the latest installments of insanity in the Wuiske household and actually
impart some information.
We shall see how we go. |
