It's no good putting it off, the time has finally come.
Henry is getting fired up for the first time today.
I've finished my roses to the best of my ability and lovingly laid them on a soft bed of carbon encased in steel. I've read the instruction manual three times and the programming manual six, I've even written down the exact programme I want to enter, put it in and got my OH to check it.
And .... I've just pressed START. A few clicks later and every thing looks like it should.
Don't get me wrong, as a rule I don't have a problem with equipment. I can handle a router, angle grinder and SDS drill with equal ease, I can lay a reasonably good line of bricks and I'm ok with the fundamentals of plumbing, I can even replace a broken socket faceplate without a second thought.
So whay am I convinced I've done something wrong here, god knows, I suspect I won't settle down until the first piece is out and I know it's ok. Given that it going to be a while I better make sure I keep myself busy.
I wonder is this what they mean when they talk about 'suffering for your art'.
