			<description><![CDATA[WOW, my first Secret Santa....<br />
<br />
I was a little disappointed at christmas time, because my parcel had not yet arrived, I thought I had been forgotten, but the wait was worthwhile.<br />
<br />
on Thursday the postman delivered a huge box to me, I got really excited, but waited a while till Lonkiponk got home to share the opening excitement....<br />
<br />
Upon opening joy upon joy, my very own set of 216 Buckyballs!<br />
<a href="http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/?action=view&amp;current=P1090409.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/P1090409.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />
<br />
next out the box came a book, looking at the title I was a little WTF is this?<br />
<a href="http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/?action=view&amp;current=P1090403.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/P1090403.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />
<br />
It was only after trying to page through it that I discovered the reason for its unappealing cover...<br />
<a href="http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/?action=view&amp;current=P1090404.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/P1090404.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />
A real hideaway contraband stash smuggling book.... Wow that must have taken some time to cut away all those pages, Thanks secret santa!<br />
<br />
And to accompany this stash smuggling masterpiece, some ORGANIC HEMP rolling papers. Beautiful!<br />
<a href="http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/?action=view&amp;current=P1090407.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/P1090407.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />
<br />
Then a miniature Bonsai tree growing set. Growing a bonsai tree from seed is going to take a long time, I had better get started!!!<br />
<a href="http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/?action=view&amp;current=P1090408.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/P1090408.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />
<br />
In a protective tube were two drawings from my secret santa: <br />
Firstly an orginal drawing of a Rock taking revenge on a sheet of Paper<br />
<a href="http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/?action=view&amp;current=P1090412.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/P1090412.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />
And secondly a drawing of a Mountain Gnome <br />
<a href="http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/?action=view&amp;current=P1090410.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/P1090410.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />
and a Lonkiponk!<br />
<a href="http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/?action=view&amp;current=P1090411.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/P1090411.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />
<br />
Lastly hiding at the bottom of the box was a Threadless fieldnotes book (in green - my favourite colour)<br />
<a href="http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/?action=view&amp;current=P1090405.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/P1090405.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />
With a message from my Secret Santa on the first page...<br />
<a href="http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/?action=view&amp;current=P1090406.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj68/lonkiponk/P1090406.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />
<br />
THANKS JAKE FRIEDMAN, what an awesome package you sent! Much appreciated!<br />
<br />
sorry for the delay in posting this, my hands have been very busy with those darn Buckyballs!]]></description>

<br />
Tonight I'm gonna set up my <a href="http://www.maerklin.com/en/">Märklin</a> train set <br />
<br />
<img src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQbxv7p1sVaRuD41vHaOmPFBh6qHdvaANm6tYLnXuEmwfsPFkoi" /><br />
<br />
I have the Fanta Fe locomotive and lots of tracks that used to belong to my father when he was a boy. I also have a few carriages, but not so many new ones, quite a few suffered damage as a result of train crashes during my childhood games....<br />
<br />
But its gonna be fun to set it up again tonight...<br />
<br />
Does anybody else have Märklin trains? <br />
