Not really sure where these musings go, but I keep doing Transformery things for the first time. I retrieved Platinum Trypticon as mentioned, and have now unpacked him out on the 86 desk next to Metroplex. This really intrigues me - although he has so many similarities to Metroplex, he's also a very different beast. I need to read up on it all. I know Onslaught and Motormaster connect to him in base mode, but they need those clips don't they? It's not quite as simple as Metroplex and the other two. You have things like Full Tilt mirroring Scamper, and Brunt/Slammer, but Trypticon feels like a version 2 all round of this idea. I'm really curious about the origins of these two. Metroplex feels like he was always designed to go with the Scramble City figures, but Trypticon feels like a retro-fit.
Anyway. Tomorrow I will get REALLY excited by adding my beloved Combaticons to stand around Trypticon while the Aerialbots defend Metroplex. It doesn't get any better than this.

Such a feeling of happiness just looking at Metroplex in city mode, it's ridiculous.

An unhelpful builders truck drove over my phone this morning after I slipped on a thick patch of ice hidden coming from a leaky pipe outside a nearby shop. I maintained my balance but my phone was catapulted into the road onto the other side of a barrier. I hastily ran round into the road and gestured like a mad man at the fast approaching truck to stop. Said truck did stop once it reached me and it's occupants asked if I was ok. They looked suitably sheepish as I retrieved the remnants of my phone from where they had just run over it about a meter too late. A new phone has been purchased. It is a better phone with better bells and whistles and on a reasonable discount on a Black Friday sale.. but stil..

Been home alone with Jonathan for a few days while Liz has a couple of well deserved days off. Been busy - tmukhub.proboards.com/post/393342/thread - but also just cream crackered. Never great this time of year :-(

Can't sleep. Brain full on, body in pain and cold. Could do with getting off soon. Thankfully I can write Thursday off to recover.

Headphones died so got out ones that came with phone. No wire! No connection socket thingy! Wtf. Took 15 mins to work out how to use them and the manual (!) was consulted. Sound comes from phone into earphones like magic. No wires! No wires! The devices don't even touch! How does this work? WITCHCRAFT!!!!

No sign of the trespassers causing anti-social behaviour since this time last week and all the Police 'excitement'. Fingers crossed this continues.
In other news a recent surprising but positive development in my private life has been most welcome.

This development has also allowed me to run some experiments on Ralph.
Good news all round!

Not the experiments, that's weird. The upturn for Ralph.

I'm very tired of everything constantly being a rush. Today has been one job after another, to the point when I did get to sit down for half an hour I couldn't actually relax. The job list is always too long.
Not helped by today needing to unexpectedly have to fix the garden fence because a dog actually came through the panel in pursuit of a cat the other day. Five vertical slats totally shattered. Fortunately, Wickes sell fence panel slats so today I had to buy, cut to fit, screw on and paint to match the others, five wooden slats just to stop this dog wandering round the garden at will. I don't think the owners even realise this happened. That was a couple of hours I wasn't expecting to be stood in the garden.

I suppose if I'd done that first, he could have repaired the fence.

I look forward to finding out more about this experiment in due course.
