Quality Street

A present from my in-laws subjected to the snackro treatment.
This one's a focus stack of 52 shots.
Ideally, I'd have either found a nice shiny example of this chocolate, or somehow polished it up to remove the marks from the surfaces.

Bottoms Up

A backup photo today, I got home from work and crashed out, falling asleep on the sofa for a couple of hours.

Rainy Recharge

I seem to recall from a few years ago hearing some particularly idiotic politician blathering on about how it was impossible to drive or recharge an EV in wet weather.
(He was very wrong, in case you were wondering).

Data Behind A Yellow Fence

About 17 hours into an 18.5 hour working day.
Babysitting a twitchy transformer, listening to a 50Hz buzz, while waiting for a spreadsheet full of boxes to turn (and stay) green.

At least the software I wrote a couple of years ago is working well here, slurping up numbers from a data acquisition unit and filing it in an orderly manner for analysis.
I need to do some fairly significant mods to make it fully windows 11 compatible soon though, running it on my old laptop isn't a good long-term solution!
Maybe when this project is put to bed, I'll be able to sit down and deal with it properly.

My Lightning Impulse Generator Needs Cleaning

A spider appears to have been living on it.
Not a very exciting photo, but I was stuck in work for an obscene number of hours working on a very urgent, very long test run, and was losing my mind at this point in the proceedings, so this is all I shot apart from photos of the actual thing I was testing, which I can't share for now.

But no coffee. Not until tomorrow, at least.
