Okay, well it looks like I've actually managed to do at least *something*!
(If you can't see all 10 attached pictures, try opening it on the original instance.)
Without, in particular, a head, I'm unlikely to show this off in public at ConFuzzled, but I'll certainly bring it, so maybe in private? Hopefully after this burst of progress after literal years of having the zip half-sewn in, I'll make the time to do the head/tail/feet within the next few months and maybe bring it to a Londonfurs meet sometime. That would be good.
Personally, I feel the only acceptable artificial noise for a car to produce is this:

Darn.
I just spent a while catching up with my timeline (went from about 1.5 days behind to only about 4 hours behind) and just caught up with the part where people were talking about the aurora.
Ooh, I thought, I'm only a few hours behind, I could go and look. But no. It's nearly 5am and there's enough daylight that I couldn't see a faint aurora even if it's still happening (which I've no idea whether it is or not). Oh well.
Phew, that's been needing to be done for quite a while. Bike chain maintenance done for now. Cleaned, adjusted, lubed. Now all I need to do is ride it. (Tomorrow, hopefully!)
The chain was quite loose, needed 3Β½ flats on the adjuster nuts. I haven't done that in years. I've been riding it so little the last few years though, I've not really needed to do the chain before the annual service takes care of it anyway. π€·ββοΈ
I really must get out on the bike again soon. It's been too little for too long. (Also, I might be partly moving outside London sometime soon, too, so I might be more able to meet up with folks for rides!)
Oh, I meant to come back to this and add pics after slicing! And here they are. One loaf had no cavities at all as far as I noticed, while the other just had this little bubble inside. Hurrah. So now I know I can fix the situation with bubbles forming holes/voids/cavities in the loaf, I just need to figure out how to make the whole loaf a bit denser, because I'm finding some slices are still almost lacework with how large the "grain" is, as it were. After talking to my dad and hearing his recollection of catering college may decades ago, I think I'll have to try *more* working of the dough at knock-back time, rather than less. All I can do is try doing it a bit different each time and see how it affects things.
Have I mentioned Murderbot yet? No, it looks like I haven't mentioned Murderbot yet. I should mention Murderbot.
Honestly, this one is a bit odd because there's no canonical description of Murderbot's armour, at least in any detail, so it could look like anything. These book covers make it look rather nice though.
