Busy Tuesday (17/11/15)

It was the Techtalks event today. Went to the 3D one but didn't learn a whole lot. Did howver get to hold an exact replica of the William Webb Ellis Trophy.

Canon scanned the original with a 3D laser, 3d printed it and then plated it.



























After the talks had finished there was beer & pizza in the foyer. Lou came over for it. Sue overordered the pizza somewhat. After lots had been eaten and taken home there was still loads left. I suggested taking it to Jimmy's Night Shelter. When I called they were happy but couldn't get anybody to come pick it up. I suggested we get a taxi and Sue ordered it on the University account. There were 43 boxes left at 19.00!

























We put them in bin bags for ease of moving. When we got to Jimmy's Lou went in while I waited. The bloke inside was happy with the bag then surprised when Lou told him there were 3 more full bags outside. When we got them in the residents were like meercats (heads popping up followed by the rest of their bodies).

A good deed done!

Walking home was a 'mare though! The wind is always bad around the fire station - add high winds from storm Barney and Lou was stopped dead and I could only move forwards with extreme effort.

Stopped in the Mitre then onto the Isaac. Missed both England goals as was talking to Heather, who was watching the tennis in the pool room. She said that the crowd singing the french anthem and the players mixing together for a minutes silence was brilliant.

After the game we went outside to see that the sign for the Isaac was hanging on by one corner. Helped Dick with the ladder while Dushan climbed up and ripped the sign off. Dread to think what would have happened if it had blown off....
