Too clever by half for me. But what an amazing day you all had. Quite obviously it pressed all the buttons of those around you. I am gob-smacked with admiration at your planning and engineering skills and delighted that it was such a good day for a geodesic BBQ. LoL.

And the next project (any ideas?) won't be for ages. Little mini projects for me include making a garden table with folding legs and learning to sew with an overlocker to make my own fitted shirts from charity shop bought ones, which will be enough to be getting on with.

And it was such fun to see how teamwork can turn a bamboo and rubber plantation into the finished article. If you weren't there to see it for real, you missed out on a really special and unique sight. I can guarantee that it won't be long before the zany man has another spark of an idea and you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll be there again to join in on the antics of the day. Whether I'll be invited back, having given my nearest and dearest a lovely dose of Taunton Hospital's finest diarrohea and vomiting bug just in time for the final exams, however, remains to be seen!

Kudos to Rob for making it happen at long last. I had a whale of a time - I always did like making things with sticky tape. Plus, of course, this is the first thing we've built after three years of a structures degree! Dave Isn’t it awesome? Kudos to Rob for making it happen at long last.
