Today Darwin was drawing faces. He’s seen me draw a face: a circle, two dots for eyes, and a smily mouth. As I draw these faces, I say this to him, then when it is complete he says hellos to the face.

So today hesxsittjng there, saying ‘circle, one eye, two eye, mouth, HELLO!’ and I look over and it’s just scribble, though he’s jabbing two dots for eyes, but in that he thinks there’s a face so it makes me smile

I have a spreadsheet that I punch the parts dimensions and number of said parts into to calculate the number of sheets of material I need for cabinets. It is inexact, obviously, as it doesn't calculate how many parts I can get out of 1220mm x 2440mm sheet, but I can estimate from there.

How many how many cabinets do you make that this is needed? Unless you are a cabinet maker? Which... are you? I thought you were a famous photographer? I’m so confused. You’re like some international man of mystery, but nicer than Bond.

You and JBR. I’m sure you’re just a pair of elegant spies.

Yeah, go on Grim... That’s a big blinking achievement, and one you should be really proud of.

What’s it about?

Space bro becomes friends with a bangdroid and shoots people.

Craster read it (his review was "cool story, bro") and Bobby read some of it before it beat him, I think.

You really aren't missing a lot.

All mine were pretty much just shopping lists and boring work stuff so I had to look in the archive until I found this note which I have no memory of at all.

I was a pro photographer for the best part of 20 years. I'm now a cabinet maker. I segued about 7 years ago — it was becoming increasingly difficult to find paying work post 2008, I was getting bored of the work and the majority of people I found myself working with. I've always made things and about 7-8 years ago a friend pestered me at length to help him on a shop refitting project, this lead to more work. That's it in a nutshell. I was never famous.

Of course, that's *exactly* what a trained spy would say...

Well, I think you’re amazing ^{super spy} and that’s the same as famous. Also, what a great career move.

I've just looked up an old To-Do list I had kicking about.

Outstanding Tasks:
* Overarm sling
* Sharpen Chisels
* Medieval Wrestling
* Celtic / Iron age / La Tene
* Cider
* Forage Stuff

I honestly can't remember the inspiration for much of this, but it does seem like I have a cracking weekend or two coming up!

Yeah, a while back.

Which is odd, I know, because most stuff I do gets to around 85% before I move onto the next thing.

Which is ironic really as I got 85% through the book then moved onto something else!

(In all seriousness, I enjoyed it a lot!)
