Very pleased indeed with the new car - somewhat more thirsty than my old Honda that recently died, however worth it for being very fun indeed !

Patching and new gussets time! Yet another "favour" instrument for a friend that's in far worse a state than I'd bargained for ...

New addition to the museum collection - probably the only one of this model in the UK, fabulous carvings of a sort of art deco Quetzalcoatl!

An old friend of ours that was surplus to the museum collection, restored for a colleague of mine by us - has now found a new home, someone very keen on exploring what it can do which is great news !

Short morning in the workshop to get back in time for a sleep before the closing of Furality 2025 - got this set of bellows stripped down, and wished I hadn't ! Goodness me, cardboard ribs not wood, not even hinged - folded ! Cracks everywhere, may as well have been made from matchsticks, urgh !

A slightly disjointed end to Furality - through no fault of their own. With only the closing ceremonies for me to somehow wrangle my schedule enough to attend.
A picture of some of the most important people in my life, each of whom I am incredibly privileged to call a friend.

Awful news today for all of my Trans friends, things will improve with the passage of time, however I do wish it would hurry up ...
However, now seems like a good day to remind people that the Potter franchise can be left to rot, and that the immensely superior Discworld - is for everyone.

So my arm has been twisted, people have been nagging me to start making video tours around our museum collection of organs and organ shaped objects, so I shall start doing just that ! However the question is where to start !? The Harmonium room is the most complete, so probably there.
