It won’t surprise anyone to hear they worked rather well until colonialism screwed them up.

If one wanted an actual #physicalmedia CDPlayer like wot we used to have, whats decent these days. I don’t need sounds quality to make it need to be the size of a house, but nicer than mobile device speakers. Portable for preference to cart arpund the house.

The camera obscure type pics from the cereal box were rather charming while working it out though. Now I’m reading how that works and how to do it better, Do I want another hobby playing with the idea? Rein yourself in Leia. #eclipse

Not sure if I took a picture of the #eclipse or just dropped a radioative winegum in my pinhole cereal box….

Sorry about the delay getting this up. Been at the Eisteddfod - I could say I'm just recovering from the mind blowing need that Star Wars is getting a dub into Welsh but really I've just been knackered!

Two hours more sewing before the train to the con. I am now contemplating whether that will do it or if there's a few more points where the stress on the glue means I want to put a few stitches in. Sewing kit is coming along...

#WIPWednesday Glued but still needs some sewing for strength here and there. I'm going to be working on this right up the last last second for Friday's con! #cosplay
