Third attempt at shower queue - my cunning pre 7am ploy was copied by way too many people! Bailed for kitchen shift, then a second time for a talk. Might have to be a little on the nose today!

More #EMFCamp serendipity; bumped into @jhugman & Emily, plus I think I saw @seb_ly admiring the lasers in nullsector

#EMFCamp shower queue long, but moving quickly 🫧🛀

Car for #EMFCamp 80% packed, ready for tomorrow. Only another 80% to go!
