My sister (who lives several continents away) sent me a huge LEGO pirate ship . The set number 31367 31387 for those interested. I spent the evening building with the help of my 13 year old. I also took two or three drams.

I have no regrets.

Edit2: thanks for the birthday wishes. :-)

who lives several continents away

This is the only way I can understand this clause

    Dram makes me think someone is in the UK and someone is Down Under.

    I fail to see this as being dull. This sounds fucking lit.

    I turned 54 this year and went to Legoland in Billund, 50 years to the month since I was last there. Found the exact same street model that my dad took cine film of.

    I'll turn 50 soon and I would love to have a family & a kid to build lego sets with. However, it didn't happen and I am enjoying other aspects of life that I wouldn't have gotten to experience otherwise. Anyways, I am happy for you :)

    All good. You'd be surprised how many customers or business men I've seen buying Gunpla in Akihabara or Fukuoka with gray hair when I was visiting.

    Making great memories for both of you, the richest gift!

    Will you keep it built or take it apart and built it again another day or take it apart and use the pieces to build something else? When my kids were young they built them and then took them apart and built other things. Now no one seems to do that.
