IT’S DAMP and grey, but not too windy so I push through the desert to stay tucked up in bed and go out for a paddle. It’s a good excuse to do some livestreams and promo for this week’s upcoming shows.

Margaret has breakfast ready when I get back…and the new lens for the laser cutter has arrived. I install after breakfast and…no difference!

There’s deffo something funny with the focus on then machine. When I decrease the ‘proper’ focus length I manage to get it to work after a fashion but I can’t work out how to properly solve the problem…or what’s wrong.

We’ve folks coming tonight and before they come I need to test out some lighting and camera flash stuff. Catriona’s asked if I could take some pix of the kids tomorrow (Sunday)….
