We spent some time in the sewing room this evening, it’s been a bit of a pigsty for sometime, and Megan wants to start using it again

Found an additional two sewing machines to what Paul thought was in there

Its all coming together!

Last year decided to upgrade from controller & an Xbox to my PC & a Wheel

With the addition of the G920, the Shifter, some shoes & the 9070XT, today felt amazing as I played some Forza Motorsport!

My response to Lindsay& Megan about wanting to see both parts of Wicked together as being the reason I had yet to watch the first one, meant we had to go see a double feature tonight!

Take it with a pinch of salt as it is written by a competitor, but it makes some good points

China made some good bets in the past, to laser focus on certain industries, ignoring the tech of 25 years ago and planning domination today

China’s grip on 3D printing is becoming a military security threat for the British | LBC
When we talk about national security, most people think of hackers, data leaks, or hostile cyberattacks. Few would imagine that something as ordinary as a 3D printer could pose a similar danger.

It’s a good job I love him, but this little prick is being a right pain at the moment

Demanding strokes and snackies, had to move the drawer I keep his snacks in as he kept trying to open it and get them out

Used a voucher I got to buy myself the WFRP Starter Set

Megan runs our DnD now but want a different game as a backup for when they feel less capable of DMing

Used to love WFRP back in the day!

Proud of Lynzy, they printed their very first project last night, a nail varnish stand, using silk PLA

Really don’t want the A1 to be a me thing, and Megan has already learned to get to grips with it, so very happy Lynzy is now as well

My plan for 2026 was to move my PC to AM5

But that will require a new kit of DDR5, but alas the clankers have spoiled that plan, prices have already risen 70% in the last few weeks, & are predicted to climb even higher as the demand for ever more “AI” data centres hoovers up every chip being made

I meant to do some painting, but utterly exhausted after 5 1/2 hours in the car, so for day 678 of the #HobbyStreak I built the Master of Executions for the World Eaters

Introduced two of my nieces to Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza this weekend, and this morning before we had to leave, they had a game between themselves, whilst comparing their grandad to the Gorilla card
