    I’m beginning to suspect that programming is terrible.

Bathroom Renovation

It’s soooo almost done! The shower screen went up last week, and then – FINALLY – the gas company turned up to hook us up. The new instant hot water system went in this week, and yesterday the builder turned up to hang the medicine cabinet, shower baskets, and mirror. (We have to wait three days before we can take the tape and supports off the mirror.)

Now all that’s left to do is paint the cornice and ceiling and finish moving all our stuff back in!

Shrödinger’s Christmas Cat

For the Canva 2015 Kris Kringle gift exchange, I got a colleague who is mathematician and engineer. I tried stalking him on social media, but he doesn’t post very much. I knew that he’s into dark European films and quantum physics, so my genius idea was to knit him Shrödinger’s Cat!

You can find more details about the knitted cat over on Ravelry. Obviously, he’s alive on one side and dead on the other! To complete the experiment, I included a bottle of “poison” (ie vodka) and a container full of “radioactive material” (ie Kinder eggs). I packed it all into a cardboard box that I spraypainted silver (since it’s supposed to be steel) and decorated with “PROPERTY OF E. SHRÖDINGER” and “CAUTION: LIVE(?) ANIMALS” labels.

I’m very happy to report that the recipient was delighted with it. 🙂
