It was kind of back-to-form unfortunately, doing most of my work later in the day. But it meant I had a nice three hours in the middle, so there was that! *g*
The 3D printing was fun to see, cos I could finally have the "oh-that's-how-it-works" moment! I gather the people up at the ISS used it to make a replacement part which they didn't have, which is properly useful and impressive, and I had no idea they were making prosthetics with it, which is also a good use! It'll be interesting to see how familiar it does become.
And hee - the sun does set early here in the winter. Oh - today it's apparently Sunrise 07:46, and Sunset 16:09. But then I guess we get lovely long summer nights which you guys don't have either, so it's that two-sided thing...! It feels cosy enough in November/December, but it starts to get a bit old after that.
