This just in, I have finished the gacha machine restoration. It’s now available to loan if any Cheltenham mutuals would like it for their stand at a convention. Takes new £1 coins and can be set to 1 - 4 quid vending.

A home made 7inch laptop. Kind of. Almost.

Me? Toast, marmalade. Two poachies, hash browns, veggie sausage. Two teas, and mankind’s greatest invention a peanut butter and marmite crumpet.
