Busy week ahead. Work is super packed all week and I’m potentially on jury duty at the High Court in Glasgow from Wednesday. Better than twiddling my thumbs I guess. End of the week will see new 4K TV and amp delivered – cabling ahoy!
Media

PinOut on iOS and Android is worth picking up. Endless pinball with tron like graphics and sounds. Addictive.
