Marketing versus Reality

'Tis the season of...

I haven't posted anything for months - lockdown blues, perhaps, nearly two months of on/off, on/off tradies making an unbelievable mess and noise (but only when they could be bothered to turn up) finishing an update of my Mastering Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 book plus a lot of work in the veggie garden.

I had a momentary brain snap in Aldi a few weeks ago and bought this gingerbread train kit. Natalie and I spent over an hour mixing up icing sugar (the 'glue') and assembling the train from the supplied instructions. It wasn't a bad result but, as it turned out, the humidity at that time prevented the icing from setting and so the construction began to lean at an alarming angle.

 






The was the final result, but what the marketing photo depicted wasn't quite the same as the final version as the cab, and its roof, began a slow slide to the left. The gingerbread driver fell into the engine compartment (currently awaiting the results from a worksafe enquiry) and his cab leant over at an alarming angle. A couple of hours later it collapsed. I should have made a time lapse video of the event. Despite it's downfall, it still tasted good.
