Unlike the cobbles which were manufactured in the form of a self-adhesive strip by Noch, the pavements were made from a piece of cardboard that I found in the house, painted white and added pencil lines to mark off the paving slabs.
Cutting the card to shape was a pain in the neck.

Drumming update:
Last week, one of my Samba drumming tutors reminded the class that:
"Running is not simply fast walking."
In other words there are limitations to the learning regime that I have been adhering to which is that initially you practise a drumming pattern at a slow tempo and then steadily increase the tempo over the weeks.
It seems that the techniques of fast playing are not simply a quicker execution of slow playing.
This was a revelation to me; although I'm not sure how to act upon it!

Philosophy:
I've decided to drop my study of Logic - I'm simply not interested.
Instead I'm going to turn my attention to the study of "Kinds".
