What’s Walrus Building?
Take a guess.
We closed on the house on Thursday so the next phase begins. Renovations. I’ll tease some before shots of the abode and then get you the finished arrangements after the move in. Let’s start with…
The Bar.
Big selling point for me. Here is what it looks like now. Probably add a couple of shelves in there but it is good to go. I’m thirsty already.
And less that is a fridge on the left. This should be fun.
On the Lego front I am obviously suspending activity until I move in which is currently set for May 29th. Realistically I might resume building in June. That resumption will start with the Sturmtiger that I just got delivered. I am also getting the IJN Akagi. I won’t be ordering anything else until after the move in and my life gets back to routine. Until next week, cheers!

US Watchdog Sues to Block $8.5bn Handbag Takeover
BBC | 4/22 | Mariko OiThe US competition watchdog has sued to block fashion accessory giant Tapestry’s $8.5bn (£6.9bn) takeover of rival Capri.
Tapestry owns handbag makers including Coach and Kate Spade, while Capri’s brands include Michael Kors.
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said if allowed, “the deal would eliminate direct head-to-head competition between Tapestry’s and Capri’s brands”.
In response Tapestry said “the FTC fundamentally misunderstands both the marketplace and the way in which consumers shop”.

Earn Money by Reporting Parking Errors
EuroWeekly News | 17 Apr 2024 | Anna AkopyanA Swedish company launched an app which allows users to earn money by reporting wrongly parked cars.
The residents of Sweden, Uppsala, can now receive 100 kroner (€8,50) for reporting each unlawfully parked car. After uploading a photo of the wrongly parked car, the Scout Park app notifies the user that a parking attendant is on their way; each car correctly reported will be issued a fine as a consequence, with the reporting [party] receiving a benefit.
The developer, Erik Englund, explained the application: “Scout Park …
Cute name.
… is a so-called gig economy app that allows anyone over the age of 16 with a Swedish social security number to earn money by helping parking attendants find people who do not follow the parking rules in the community.”
Geheimstaatspark would fit
Scout Park is in an agreement with the private parking company Parkias, hence only the cars in their areas can be reported. However, the development´s CEO shared on LinkedIn that he is looking to expand across Sweden.
