Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Up earlyish; breakfast, spent a while winding PLA onto a drum, such that it can be wound smoothly into the machine by the extruder - instead of requiring me to fiddle constantly with it.
Set off into Cambridge with my parents, N. and E. to get to a music shop. Ended up buying an Electric Violin - with a rather good (closed - ie. no sound holes) carbon fibre & kevlar resonant cavity, and carbon fibre bow; really excellent, have yet to try it with amplification.
Tea and cake to cheer the babes, and back home via. a much loved double decker bus. Encouraging to feel the fingers coming back quickly to the fingerboard after ~15 years of not playing anything. I suspect the ease of recall decreases the more comes back however.
Babes watched "The secret of Moonacre" - a fine film, the book presumably is rather better; printed some larger (makerbot) plates out as it was playing; encouragingly it seems we can run smoothly for some hours - but really require better software.
Hannah's friend Charlotte over for a sleepover, just getting to the aftermath of the escape from Efrafa with H. in Watership Down. Chatted in the evening, interspersed with more Prusa mendel plate printing.
