Your container full of Lego is like adventure 🎉

[@damienazzopardi1121]

If you want to catch small parts, get a small cone waste paper bin with holes in it, and then spin the lego around in it. That’s how we do it. We found a blue plastic one at a $1 shop

[@BrickArena]

Good idea regarding a waste bin. I do have various other seives but the combination of size/capacity makes it less useful than it should be.

[@damienazzopardi1121]

There are also some plastic storage trays with similar meshing that do the trick, you can sift the lego like gold panning :p

[@BrickArena]

I've also heard of things like Pizza trays with holes in and/or garden soil sieves.

Yes, I like seeing my Bricklink order on the channel 😀. And speaking of Bricklink orders, didn’t realise it until I checked but I have just placed my 1300 order (since 2017…. Not sure where that places me in the scheme of things). Dark blue technic wheels? Nearly £4 you say? Umm, think I have some of those in my collection…. KDDK Time. Well still playing the Ghost and Powerwolf cds (fiancé has turned the volume up for both, oh no 😆), but as you know I like to mix things up a bit to provide a little contrast, so have also been listening to Big Big Train’s folklore album which a) really enjoyed (haven’t come across anything by them yet that I haven’t found at least interesting) and b) KZbin / Big South American river algorithms then make suggestions…. Now I was already aware that Rikard Sajoblom had been in at least two bands Breadfish and Gungfly, but the first is proving difficult to track down (at least not at stupid prices) but I have managed to pick up On her journey to the sun, which comes with a second cd, the best of Gungfly. I have only listened to the first cd, but definite Yes vibes (without the Jon Anderson vocals…) circa 70 -72. Hopefully by next week I will be able to report back on the 2nd cd ( plus Saga live, a band I did not have in my collection until today. Good to see the desk kept reasonably clear and the commitment to the gym is still strong!

Well first off, many thanks for the order. Intrigued to know what "green" subject your building. 1300 orders is very respectful given they are all from a buying perspective. That's quite a contribution to the Bricklink community. KDDK Time - It seems like I have a few more bands to add to the list, at least they are all available to stream. I have followed through somewhat on the Live album theme of last week and have been hammering the new Cats In Space live album. The songs are catchy as hell, though can be a little cabaret at times and they definitely have the most polite song introductions. I nearly spat my drink the first time I heard them say "This song is about soft furnishings" for the track 51 Pillow Bed. Much of the rest of the week has been a mix of more NWOBHM and recent favourites like the Deep Purple, DarWin and more. I have picked up a few music-related books this week too in prep for the holiday, one being "No Sleepwhich is about the NWOBHM scene in my local Teesside and features many Till Saltburn" people I knew. The other is the Bruce Dickinson autobiography. I'm not normally one for books so we'll see how I do getting through them. I must admit I never really got away with Saga much. I have a couple of albums but they never got a lot of play tbh.
