This was a random purchase, but at least an Eels connection has been retained.

Collagen
Watching Dragon’s Den. Someone’s making gin with collagen.
I do love gin, but I don’t understand why anyone would want to drink such a beautiful thing with the inclusion of liquidised animal tissue.
Fucking disgusting.
Apples
The first apples from our tree this year.
More will follow tomorrow. And then we shall make cider.
Screed
The man-cave now has a floor once more.
Chapter II
Another chapter of my work in progress book, the Trolleys of Washington.
Moulton
A few weeks ago, while out on a bike ride, my second in command and I came across an unusual bike outside a bar.
It was roughly the size of our Bromptons, with a similar design. However the frame was built from multiple thin tubes, rather than the standard chunky tubes of our (and most other) bikes.
Last night, while half watching something on TV, an old clip from the 60s caught my eye. A very Brompton-like bike was being hailed as having a revolutionary design. Up until that point, I’d never heard of Moulton bikes, so I looked them up.
Their evolution has now resulted in this.
Which, apart from the colour, is pretty much the bike we saw a few weeks ago. The design’s a lot more advanced than our Bromptons’, but they’re a little more expensive. They don’t fold, the main reason for our Brampton purchase, but they’re reputabley light and fast.
I suspect I wouldn’t be allowed to buy one.
My Key Machine
I’ve been dying to try the cool key cutting machine in B&Q since I spotted it a few weeks ago. Remembering to take a key with me tonight, we had three copies made for a tenner.
I don’t have a picture of the machine, since I’d left my phone in the car, but it was quick and the keys fit perfectly.
Profondo Rosso
We went to see the Lurkers play in our local the other night. Well, only because Karl would be playing, with his old band Profondo Rosso supporting.
Pretty good they were too.
Render III
Well, that’s the rendering finished.
If the weather’s OK next weekend, I should be able to get a screed down on the floor.
