TARDIS doors

Why is it that when you are busy interesting opportunities knock at your door, yes I am a Doctor Who fan and yes I have built a Radio Times version of a Dalek which stands outside my study. Thanks to the new series visiting friend's children are not asking me "what is it?" instead they touch it nervously and hide when it yells "Exterminate" at them, but building a Police Box, a TARDIS? When I was asked by one of my young leaders could they borrow the Dalek for a CYFA Venture holiday I said sure, when they said the theme was "Time Travel" I said you need a TARDIS. Too late it was out... I had caught the bug, I downloaded plans from the internet and started the build, with some hard work from friends I had every bit of cut scrap wood I could lay my hands on and in the above picture you can see it's on its way. Now one daft item you can take on but I have also decided to enter a competition to produce a three minute thriller, so I have planned the script, arranged the cast and technical crew and that too is on its way. O yes then there's work and of course this would be a busy period but strangely enough I am enjoying myself, I feel refreshed and raring to go. Isn't life odd!
