720 - BALSA

LArry was bored. He'd tried various pastimes but with each one he would dally with it for a while, then give up. His house was littered with jigsaws, unfinished books, tiny collections of natural things, cooking pans with burned food in etc. Today he decided to sally forth to the shops and buy a model aircraft kit. Eagerly he started reading the instructions and was amazed at how light the balsa wood was. He started with the wing spars and pre-stamped wing profiles. But after he'd gone for a cuppa he just couldn't bring himself to get back to the challenge and, yet again, he slumped in front of the TV.
