The Jig is Done …

Meaning the rejigging is done for now. I’ve renamed all the necessary files and re-uploaded them.

Bosley’s Builders are good to go for their next adventure … though progress in that direction is hung up in one of those situations that you apply that old nursery rhyme to. You know the one I mean … “for want of a nail a kingdom was lost”?

The image is of half the shallows. It just need a bunch of smooth little light blue tiles to cover the sandy looking studs to give you the idea that the low lying islands are getting flooded. As always with Lego, you need to use your imagination. One of the reasons I like it so much.

I’m waiting for those little parts to come by post. … little 1×2 tiles in light blue so I can enable Boz to visit with Robbie Rafter as steers his raft by, and for Bosley to get the news … the Post office promised to deliver on Friday but the parcel is not here yet, and it’s now Monday. Hundreds of possibilities why they didn’t make it so, okay, I am (im)patiently waiting.

Bosley’s Builders, 2

Lunch at the site, pizza again …

OMG, do you see what I see? Just noticed the smiley faces on the studs of the base plate … they’re not Lego, of course. But we knew that, right? It’s the Hardware Store Build and that base-plate is on notice.

This installment is now live here, on Story-ing Bricks … couldn’t change a few things, like the file name, and there being no author name, as if the installment appeared out of the ether … these items are part of the set-in-concrete nature of MSWord. Hopefully those will be fixed from now on.

Didn’t change the upside down order of posts. They should be easier to find with the blog-post re-titling. That’s a WordPress thing.

So I’m wondering whether if I organize a ‘cloud’ that’ll help with find-ability. Can but try, as the saying goes.

Rejigging Pages …

Having a bit of trouble rejigging the Page above called Brick Stories … if you click on that you’ll come to a page that says … Oops, can’t find it. I put it back in draft mode to figure out what happened to Bosley’s Builders, parts 1 and 2.

There’s a new page called Story-ing Bricks … which is where I will re-post the whole of Bosley’s Builders, beginning at the beginning, with today just the first installment.

I can’t believe the trouble I’m still having due to getting rid of Microsoft Word, the word processor that seems to think it owns the whole word processing world, and that was at least six months ago.

At the moment Bosley’s Builders seems to start at parts 3 or 4, depending on who is trying to access part 1. I thought to fix that and at the same time invert the order … you know start with Part 1 and go on from there, instead of starting with the latest and working back.

There has to be a better way to set that up.

But, not so fast, says Word. You need to pay us first if you want to shift this Word document from A to B. It turned out that Parts 1 and 2 were still in Word. There is a labor-intensive way to circumvent that, so that’s what I’m doing, one installment at the time.

Read Bosley’s Builders, Part 1, if you haven’t or haven’t for a while here on my new page Story-ing Bricks

If you are wondering why on earth “Story-ing Bricks?“

I googled the various possibilities and came up with this as a not yet hugely populated title. Can you imagine there is even a Lego store called Brick Island? And it is in Brisbane? (Brick Island was my first choice.)

This illustration from an image service, Pixabay I believe. I’ve had the image in my files for quite a while. I just checked Google image service but no owner came up, just that a fractal process was used to generate it.

It’s called Blueyellowcontours.jpeg. I thought It an appropriate illustration of what Lilly’s “pretty water” might’ve looked like.
