CITY Day 19 - I've Been Training for this Christmas Blog All My Life

19 days, 19 doors - let's get to it!

Ooh, a train car - looks like it has clasps for additional train cars to be attached eventually!

Spillage!

Buildage!

And now we only have 5 left!

KINGDOMS Day 18 - A Sharp and A-peel-ing Reveal

Once again, my apologies for the delay in posting the pics of the Day 18 opening in the Kingdom.

But as you can see, not much was missed here - another Kinder surprise level build...

An apple. A pot.  And two knives.  The extent of the construction - or deconstruction rather - is merely pulling the knives apart from their tether.

Oh look! The apple and knife, together at last!

Looks like the maiden is looking to fix herself up some apple slices! Yum!
 

And so 18 days in, we are now 75 percent done the calendar.

CITY Day 18 - Christmas is a Birthday, So Santa Puts on his Birthday Suit

Here comes day 18 - sorry for being a day late!

I do not know what to say - it is a near naked Santa (black undies?) bathing himself!

Santas in bits and pieces!

 Even a nifty little scrubbing brush!

Good for that shower built yesterday

Mommy may have kissed Santa Claus - but she turns away and gives him his privacy while bathing.

KINGDOMS Day 17 - Brew-dolph The Red Nosed Rein-beer

What's hiding behind that window? What is that 17 not telling us?

Ah, a nice healthy beverage!  It's not the first day of Christmas yet, but I'm sure Bob and Doug would still be pleased!

Quickly, before any spills out onto the snow!

Ah, the keg is safe!

And now, time for the Good Sir Knight to console himself with a brew, after his many failed adventures...

CITY Day 17 - Dirty After Sleeping in a Manger? LEGO has the solution!

Why does it always snow on me? Is it because I skated on Day 17?

Ooh! A LEGO shower! I guess it's for when you take your LEGO blocks outside and they get dirty!

Oops! When I spilled the pieces, I knocked mom off of the couch!!

Now my LEGO can be nice and clean!

 

Okay, go away, time for mom to have a shower - no peeking!

KINGDOMS Day 16 - 8 Maidens Flirting

OPEN THE GATE! NUMBER 16 IS NOW EXITING THE CASTLE!

Alright, alright, no need to yell, 'Narration-From-First-Image' - it's only a maiden.

This maiden is a wreck - she has completely fallen apart!

Ah much better - and she passes every one of the LEGO female criteria I set on Day 6, as well as the added point from Day 7.

Oh, she has stumbled upon our Good Sir Knight, still lying on the ground after his spar with the training dummy!

She calls to him with an offer to help him up.

And with an outstretched arm, she helps the Good Sir Knight back on his feet.

Do we possibly have a match made in LEGO heaven here?

Oh no! Looks like she was more impressed with the training dummy's fighting calibre!

Well, to the victor go the spoils! Another sad defeat for the Good Sir Knight.

 

 The whole scene now after 16 days - will the Good Sir Knight ever get his comeuppance?

CITY Day 16 - Go Rest on Red-Bricked Chesterfields In My LEGO Display

Hey Day 16, whatcha' hauling!?

Special delivery, red couch!

Hrmm... judging by the assembly required, it must be an IKEA couch...

Oooh, looks sooo tempting to lie down on!

Ah! Couldn't resist the sweet, bumpy coziness I bet!

 Only 8 more doors to open!
