Couples that play together, stay together is how the saying goes. Well not all is truth in sayings for we soon enough fell apart. Looking back it is probably best; we had very different paths to tread. But in those happy days we did fun stuff like spending time building Nano Block toys. These are miniature building blocks, of Japanese design and make. Here is the link to the Australian website http://nanoblock.com.au/. These blocks come in a tiny resealable bag in a configuration of one particular thing, as you can see above. We built a guitar and a panda bear. Very conveniently, they give you extra bits, an excellent design move, especially when you consider the smallest of the blocks is 4mm x 4mm, a single block. This is a patience development toy, required good finger dexterity and careful attention to the instructions. It is the kind of toy that once you have completed it, you are not likely to break it down and rebuild, you have already won the challenge and the finished object becomes a trophy to display. I'm very pleased to see Nano Blocks are now selling deluxe sets where you build a castle. Schloss Neuschwanstein Deluxe is the link to the castle, it is sold out, worth a look at, and likely to be the forerunner of many deluxe sets. This makes me very excited, but at $299 a castle, I probably won't be building it this summer anyhow. Well one never knows.
