With it being construction time and all, it was probably worthwhile me getting into the workshops to start working on some hard materials, so I'm staying in Loughborough for the first week of the break to knuckle down, turn some aluminium, braze some steel and route some prolab while I wait for my rapid prototypes to get done. Still.

Currently the house is occupied by myself, Devito, Jono, with a special guest appearance for one night only by Mr Daniel Currin esq., who arrived at around lunchtime to print off an epic business plan while I had a kip in between workshop duty. He did buy me dinner for the privilege however; Newshouse Melts keep me ticking over.

Last night Mike, Devito and myself went to go and see The Ringer (that Johnny Knoxville film), and that all my predictions of a watery production were proved correct. Some humour, some plot, all wrapped up in a little package of predictability. I can't say I was all that impressed, but at least I can now say that. Forever the optimist.

This evening is being divided between making phone calls, taking interviews and working up a frenzy over my dissertation questionnaire, which I need to get completed asap. There should also be some logo design work, but this may have to wait until workshop duty is completed, despite wanting to get going properly.

Tomorrow is another early start; hopefully no more punctured bike tyres (total today: 1), no more redone MDP2 parts (total today: 1) and no more midday kips (total today: 1). Tomorrow will be plain sailing (please).
