Teslathon 2015
On Sunday we donned our glad rags and went to the Technology museum to watch Tesla coils doing their thing.

Pay day finally!
Up late & for breakfast at the Regal before going to M&S to get pasta.
Over to the SH around 9.15-9.20 and started taking the sales stand down. Phil turned up a bit late because he'd forgotten his badge & had to go back for it. Had everything down & packed away by about 10.30.
Ambled over to RNB & was shagged out by the time I got there. Walked over to MMS with a job that had come in on Friday that Bruce either hadn't seen or couldn't be arsed to do.
After work back into toqwn to meet Meg who was passing through on her way back to the US. It was really good to see her and we had a good chat about all sorts (including how the House of Lords & heredity works in the UK dukedoms etc).
Thence home via Sainsbury's & the Isaac.

A very busy day
Well that was the last graduation of the calendar year for me & thank fucking god for that!
Getting in at 10.15 & setting up was fine. Being busy from around 11.30 till around 19.00 wasn't. Finally left at 19.30 and got home around 19.45.
At one point framing orders were backing up to a 30+ minute turn-round. Even with 4 framing we were going backwards at times.
In all we took around £38k, a £7k increase on 2014, and it bloody felt like it!
Also heard, via Andre, that the NW Cambridge Development is massively over-budget already. Like 100% over (ie double what they'd budgeted for). There's going to be a debate/session in the Regent House which should be interesting.

It's Back To The Future Day*
A stormy meeting at work is a great start to the day! A big problem with CamSIS (applicants not able to upload photos) and John accusing people of laughing at it. Didn't go down well at all!
*the date Marty McFly & Doc Brown travelled to in BTTF2.

Chinese Visas
The Government has announced that visas for Chinese tourists would go from £380 to £80.
As if we don't have enough of the buggers cluttering up the place as it is!
Cambridge to be renamed Chinbridge & Lou commented that we might as well move to China as there'll be less Chinese there than here.
