Rain, dark and cold. It’s winter in NZ. I remember Norway had snow and cold without the wind and drizzle. We get flooding and mud … fuck loads of mud.

Finally have power back on to the workshop and am cleaning the place up so I can get in their and get back into making stuff. The CNC router is calling and various bits of wood need to be screwed together. There is limestone to carve and screen printing to do. It gets wifi and music and is a great place to hide from the World for a bit.

Still working in a school. My classroom is starting to feel like a slightly chaotic Design studio. This is a good thing. The student projects are starting to look good and some of the students have surprised themselves. Even seen some individual thought and imagination peeking through in places. I’m done listening to teachers wank on about assessment and standards and am having a great time with the laser cutter and getting sewing machines into my room. An airbrush has made an appearance and I bought myself a new round of Adafruit gear to play with.

It’s a mixture of dark, dreary and moderately interesting work at the moment but to the cunt who ran my cat over and left him to die … Fuck You!!
