The Irish Brick Wall

Traditionally the edge of the universe. If you travel in your spaceship at infinite speed, eventually you hit the Irish Brick Wall and can go no further. (D'aprรจs my Prep School head of science, c1978*).
Another good day at school, I got a well done sticker in Poetry class for writing the single sentence "The brown horse rode the bicycle quietly". I suppose I'll get the whole roll of stickers if I actually make a coherent poem out of it.
Finally after weeks of waiting, the Phineas and Ferb.... continued episode came on. Sadly we had sunspots and the reception was terrible. Luckily Jof wiggled the cable and by the time P+F The Movie was on, we could actually see what was going on.
We are making a giant Lego construction. This time, instead of being the tallest possible tower without going through the ceiling, it is the strangest-shaped one with many levels, walkways and platforms. This is because sometimes the best bit about making a Lego city is trying to use up all the little transparent nobs and the aerials and the spanners and windows and decorations. The creation of many levels (including some railway track) is to maximise decoration-space and a picture of the finished article will be posted upon completion.
Jof seems happier.
