Pay and display

A record and the first (and no doubt only) time I arrived at work before my colleague Lijiang - he just seems to be always there, apparently christmas day is a good time to come in because the instruments are quiet.

This is the only way to be sure of a reasonably stress free drive in and parking space, and so I could head off a bit early for blacksmithing, which was much more successful than last week as I ended up with blisters on my hand, a right arm incapable of doing anything more, and a piece of metal which was approaching the shape that it was supposed to be.
