  1. It's a bitterly chill Sunday morning here. My father's gone in for fresh scans at the hospital, so with the consultant appointment in January, based on the results they get they'll narrow down how far into next year they expect him to last before popping his clogs. Been poking vaguely at mortgage and general financial matters. Been a few discussions with my sister on the feasibility of who could buy who out, or whether we just have to sell the house together. Trouble is, while we both like it, there's lots of bits and pieces that need fixing and those costs start adding up.. £5 grand here, £10 grand there... On other matters, I've been balancing budget vs temptation and have to go in to get a new suit. I discovered that the only suits I have that fit me properly are steampunk ones. Which while might cause some amusement at quinceneara's, funerals, and such like, probably won't go down so well at formal civil service meetings and such like. However, my team leader did put me down for a "Development Achievement" award, so I have a small cash bonus coming in. So I might use that to splash out on a decent suit. Also been getting my head around some of the different tricks between the Resin printer and the FDM printer. Got a nice version of Boba Fett's survival knife printed out in Resin once I got the orientation of printing correct, then had to sand the point and edges off because it could do a little pokey sharp holes in things. Had the stl's for a vibroblade in parts, but that took about 4 goes before I could get a successful print due to some of the thinner parts to it kept flexing off where i had the orientation wrong.
