I have cleared enough junk out of the office that I can roll my chair in front of my keyboard to play it sitting down.



A little bit more and I'll be able to hoover.

you have been to Mr V's mission control!

Just picked up my new (to me) video camera. I may have to try my hand at making a film.

I'm not sure I have the physical strength to use one safely anymore. I do like tools though I'm more into precision engineering. I'd like a mini lathe and mill if I had the space.

This one's quite good/safe - it's electric and the saw bit is at the end of a long pole with the switch at the other end, so you physically can't get hands/face in the way while operating it. I suppose, if determined, you could cut your feet off, but you'd have to have your hands above your head to reach.

I'm often tempted when I look on there. Heiber Lindberg in Munich was a cracking shop as well. We just don't seem to have music shops like that over here any more.

This place in Köln is pretty good as well: MUSIC STORE professional - Home they have signs up saying no Stairway to Heaven, One Nation Army, etc. to be played on the guitars when trying them out

Get yourself a chainsaw. ms#3 is out in the garden playing with his. He looks very happy. Not sure that the apple tree is quite so pleased.

You bugger, that link has now made me get my credit cards out. Frau D. is not going to be happy when she gets home . Either this:

Tenayo SW301 Silent NA - Thomann UK

or this:

Traveler Guitars Ultra Light NAT Steel - Thomann UK

So that I can play in my hotel room without annoying the other guests too much

I usually get mine from thomann. Even with the postage they are better value. The cordial ones are well made, I have quite a lot of those.

I'll pass that on. Ta.

I think I might like one of those.

I'm just waiting until I've finished rebuilding the radio controlled cars.

Mr Z moved the mixing desk and mini keyboard into our living area yesterday (apparently it's 'too cold' in their own room). So we had a fun couple of hours working out which cables still work
Am expecting Maplin profits to rise in the next few days.

Not yet.

I am thinking of one of these

DFRobotShop Rover V2 - Arduino Compatible Tracked Robot (Autonomous Kit) - RobotShop

I think I might like one of those.

'ere, where did I see the advert for a robohoover the other day?

It was £99.

£99 doesn't sound 'gedgety' enough, does it?

[doodab]

Did you get the robot? Details please.

or did you buy a robot hoover?

Not yet.

I've suggested getting a robot hoover to ms doodab but it would be fairly useless with the lego all over the floor and so on. We need a robot with arms to tidy up first.
