Of course, the threatened storm never actually materialised - the rain, such as it was, passed quite quickly and, by the time I went to bed, it was back to being rather hot.
For those who are interested, here are yesterday's new recruits:
(l-r: Skids, Human Alliance Bumblebee (rear), Rampage (mid), Sam Witwicky (front) and Wheelie.)
They're all pretty spiffy in their own way, but Skids has balance issues, Rampage may take huge liberties with the movie design (like adding 2 extra legs at the back, though this does make him look like a robotic Centaur) and Wheelie's a bit flimsy. I would say that Human Alliance Bumblebee is a true Ultimate Bumblebee, were it not for a few reservations about his articulation (head doesn't tilt, ankles don't tilt), and the fact that the right arm gun isn't interchangable with another hand... Still, it manages to be better than the actual Ultimate Bumblebee in just about every significant way... Still struggling to transform him back into car mode, through... it's very fiddly.
In other news, I tried contacting Harrow Council again today... and got through no problem. No hiss, crackle, breakup... perfectly clear all the way. I even managed to get the bin sorted as a replacement (£15) rather than a new bin (£40).
That's pretty much all the important stuff for the week done.
And, hey, 35!
