Frances and I (and families) just accidentally had another TasLUG meeting
interspersed among other conversational topics :)

Frances brought along her Sante Fe engine, very impressive.  Not
surprisingly this gave rise to a shared SAH order!  We're both hoping there
will be coaches eventually.

We wondered precisely what the difference was between my son's new Racers
pullback motors 1 & 2 apart from shape and moulded exhaust pipes, and are
still none the wiser.  I muttered a bit about how I wouldn't have bought the
orange one with motor 5(?) if I had known it was the same Technic-type one
from last year.

We prodded the HP troll and rued the fact that it can only move one arm, and
discussed re-engineering of huts and castles to get rid of the horrid
plastic roof bits.  Conversation went on to Technic, Mindstorms and even the
new Belville range.

Our planned BBQ was blown and rained out, so we set off the smoke alarm with
our indoor grilling instead.  Baby slept through all the commotion (yes, she
has finally came home from hospital!).

As usual, if anyone wants to join us in the future, please contact myself or
Frances.  We don't tend to bother advertising ahead of time anymore as so
far it has just been us on an informal basis.
