December 2019

On Sunday I went to A&E with worsening symptoms, on Monday morning I had an operation on my back, and was cared for by brilliant NHS staff.❤️ On Tuesday, I registered for an emergency proxy vote so I could cast my vote today. The emergency care I received was amazing, but I know from hard personal experience that the NHS is under unbearable pressure. So yes, you can bet I have made sure that my vote will be cast.

Remember you can still arrange an emergency proxy vote up to 5pm today if you have a work or medical emergency!

Angel thoughts today.

(I put an ipad on a field easel so I wouldn’t have to sit down. Shh, it works.)

Woke up in the night earlier due to weird nerves so…  #rhack (featuring some super secret satellites, used only for highly sensitive corporate communications. Rhys deeply impressed by size of AI Jack’s mainframe, not to mention his subtle moves. Smooth.)

Oh, and there’s my election night despair coping rhack.

Currently mid-way through trying to recreate the mask keychain from BL3 as an actual keychain. Drafted with plasticine base which I decide to freeze hard and used as a base for epoxy (Milliput.) All the detail in the base model was essentially a waste of time, as it warmed up much too fast to preserve more than the basic structure. I had to recreate all the detail in the soft epoxy, and firm it up as it cured. The general idea worked though, as it created a thin, hollow mask with interior shape. Would have made more sense to make a very low detail base in epoxy, cover in foil or film as a re-usable base, then build up the epoxy on that. Lessons learned! A bit more detailing and work needed on this (esp brows, clasps, forehead, sidies), then I’ll fix a keychain and think about painting it.

Painting finished! I now have my own creepy mask trinket. 👍  Learned some lessons about doing hollow stuff with epoxy. Phew.

(I know forehead is too big; I fixed the ring eye thing there, and can’t make myself do any more filing or sanding. clasp was as small as I could go.)
