All from the lovely folks at bargainhardware.co.uk, for the princely sum of £765.59. It was ordered on a Monday morning, and arrived early on Wednesday, in the midst of the 2020 pandemic, which is damn good going!

I have a habit of naming things after songs by The Presidents of the United States of America (see also "Tiny Explosions"), and it seems quite apt really. It's also a pretty cool song.
