If one piece is moved even slightly, J notices and has to realign them up again to his exacting standard.
The spacing between them is almost perfect, and they are all put on the same area of the buffet bar, along certain grooves of the natural oak.
He can spend a good half an hour perfecting them. Rearranging them, moving a slight millimeter here and there. He bends down to view them from the perspective looking up, and moves side to side.
It's not a new thing for him. For as far as I can remember he has lined up objects, usually four of them, and they had their own place he would keep them, and he always knew if they had been touched.
Four Lego pieces have featured for many of those years though. The same four colours. The actual brick size has changed every so often, with him using the regular sized 4 pin bricks, the 8 pin bricks, and sometimes building a tower of each colour, occasionally in graduating size (example being - four red 4 pins, three blue 4 pins, two yellow 4 pins, and one green 4 pin) or all the same amount ( four 4 pins bricks of each colour).
These bricks in the photo are the double version of the 4 pin Lego bricks, so are twice as tall as the regular brick.
It makes him happy and keeps him calm when he has these in the perfect place and position, and I would never disturb his work, as I understand it is what he enjoys, and I'm not going to spoil that.
