I've had one of those weeks where you get up on a Monday, there's a blur in the middle, then suddenly it's Friday evening and all you can remember is that the bits between the start and the finish were stressful and not much fun. Things were looking up this evening – curry, bottle of wine, crappy TV – but I've just been playing with the cat and it managed to get about the first quarter of an inch of one of its claw stuck in the end of my index finger ... which was painful. It's not been a great week.

Anyway, the net result of all this is that I've been scraping the chromasian barrel again, the inside of which is now totally devoid of content.

And yes, I did clone out the strings.
