Another long wait for a post that no-one is reading.

Hmmm. Anyway - to those who say 'You're wasting your time', I retort: 'No!'. For I have been creating a life size replica of the Colossus of Rhodes made from polystyrene. It hasn't been going too well to be honest. Finding that much polystyrene is no joke. People ask questions... make insinuations... prepare condemnations.

I got the scaffold ready, but fell foul of planning regulations, and had to dismantle it again. So I ended up carving the thing in sections and glueing it togther. And, well, the end spectacle is grotesque to say the least, looking more like a drunken Statue of Liberty mixed with an ape in a bizarre genetic experiment. You see, it's all disproportionate - the head's seven times larger that the body, and the hands are twice the length of the legs. And so my grand gesture to impose my artistry on the locals has failed.

And thus I record my failure in this relatively succesful blog. Sucessful in the sense that I can actually accomplish it. Even if no-one's reading.
