I Had Another Quiet Day,

having said that,

I made a decision on the soft sided bag to take with me to Nambiar, 


it will be this one, a Mountain Warehouse cargo wheelie bag 65 litre, hopefully it will be big enough, then I watched a few YouTube videos, and found one that I really enjoyed, from the description:

"Plenty of miniature recreations of the Bismarck have been made in the decades since its demise, but few of those have been floating, drivable recreations built with a budget of just a few hundred dollars. Even fewer have featured cannons with fireworks to recreate gunfire, but that's exactly what YouTuber Julius Perdana managed to create with their latest project.
The most expensive single component of the build was its motor, which cost $200. A battery to power the ship cost $30, while the Coroplast, fiberglass, 3D printing filament, and plywood used to create the ship's exterior totalled $165. To keep things affordable, Perdana used various additional electronics he already had to hand, like an RC system to control the boat's movements, and employed two assistants to speed up the build process. Even then, the boat still took two months to design and build", it looks amazing and it works!

photograph Julius Perdana/YouTube, if you are into RC boats this is the one for you, just grab a coffee and like I did, sit back and enjoy, 

here a video of the build, as it happens he has built a couple of boats, 

including a 23-Foot USS Nimitz with 32 Planes and Working Catapult, plus a 18 Foot USS Iowa RC Battleship that even has lights for night time cruisingand lots of RC aircraft, his YouTube site is here, what a great couple of ships to play with, after I picked Diana up from work it was a coffee and a chat before our evening meal, after which we watched the last episode of,

 Catherine the Great, starring Helen Mirren as Catherine, what a excellent series, next book coach seats and a hotel for the coming weekend as Diana actually has 3 days off in a row! After which we watched, 

Titanic, a 1997 blockbuster film directed by James Cameron and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Gloria Stuart (older Rose) and Billy Zane: grossing $1,842,879,955 worldwide, next as Diana has a 05.00AM start tomorrow we were off to bed.
