It sucks waking up like this! + +In the morning we do some grocery shopping and we drop the car off at the charging station so that +it, too, can slurp its batteries full again. Yesterday was our _grote inkoop_ (our _big purchases_) +but we did not get all the vegetables and usual Coop groceries. One thing we think is fun, is to +compare the cost of _Aligro_ to that of _Coop_ for many of the items we bought. It's considerable! +For example: + +* Popcorn kernels are CHF 1.95 for a 100g bag. We bought 5.66kg for CHF 19.95! +* Coca cola 0.5l bottles are CHF 1.05 each. At Coop, they are CHF 1.50! +* Limousine beef is CHF 81,- per kilo. At Coop, it's about CHF 140,-! + +When we came home, the mailman had visited! He plopped two packages; one of them has a Silhouette +Cameo 5 in it, and the other contains a Røde mic stand. Normally I get super excited when the +mailman comes and dash off to play with the new delivery. But today, I exercise patience. + +# Afternoon + +I bought three sizable leeks the other day, and I promise myself to turn them into a leek soup. I +have this recipe which is really tasty: leek soup with veal dumplings and blue cheese - in our case +I grabbed a block of Stilton cheese. I'm gonna make soup! + +After the soup, Marina takes the Cameo upstairs to her workroom, and I go downstairs with the +Røde gear. It turns out, my studio mic, an NT-USB model, doesn't exactly fit on the micstand +as-is. I think maybe it had a few parts when I bought it two years ago, and I discarded the parts +"Who needs them anyway?!"-style. Not to worry, I know what needs to mate with what, so I take to +Fusion360 and draw myself a round bracket that fits the microphone, and offset a 3/8" thread for the +mic stand. My first print is a bit off, there's not enough clearance between the mic and the +micstand, so it can't swivel freely. So I make a small modification, and print two brackets, one for +use now and one as a spare. The mic arm works pretty well and has lots of degrees of freedom: + +{{< video src="/media/vdo/IMG_0554_23.4.15.mp4" >}} + +After this small task, I send Marina an IM asking her about Gin&Tonic. She answers "Not yet, cutting +with the Cameo", followed a few minutes later with "Failure. Booze!!", so I mix us some Blood Orange +tonic with Malfy Orange gin. I serve it with pitted Kalamata olives and some carrot sticks with +leftover hummus. We create some vitamin D in the yard, and enjoy the drink. + +# Evening + +We're eating running beans, _Cornatur_ veggie triangles and salted potatoes - a nice vegan meal to +close off the hard day's work and play. After dinner, Quinn is knackered and decides to go upstairs +to pass out gracefully. Marina and I watch _The Little Mermaid_ with Halle Bailey and she falls +asleep a little bit. The movie is allright, I've seen it before on an airplane some time ago. + +After the movie, I go downstairs to write my journal. Marina plays a little bit more with the Cameo +and manages to figure out how to print fiducials which makes the cuts much more precise. On my side, +I start cutting out the 2" circles from what Marina has printed this afternoon: eight pages with +each fifteen [[IPng.ch](https://ipng.ch/)] logos, which I bundle up in stacks of four and cut +through with a rather industrial 2" cutting mold she has. I love how much she has in the way of +random arts and crafts tools. I make quick work of the circles, but I decide to keep the button +presssing for tomorrow. + + +## Pictures of the Day + +{{< gallery-category >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-06/IMG_0539.JPG" caption="I made a big pot of leek soup - we'll eat this with veal dumplings and stilton cheese - you'll see!" >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-06/IMG_0548.JPG" caption="The mailman came, and delivered a Rode mic arm.
