Progress is suspended at the moment while we wait for planning permission. Although it may have taken a little longer to finalise things to get to this point (mainly by me getting to spend time on site), we're still hopefully on schedule.

In the mean time Desmond made a trip to Artec and I made a trip to Istanbul. So it's time for some holiday snaps! First Artec, this is the lathe used for spinning large dishes

and aluminium ready for the lathe:

Thanks to Desmond for those. And while while Desmond was there I was bobbing around the Bospherus to escape the heat of Istanbul. Here're two snaps, inside and out, of the 500 year-old 'new mosque':

It wasn't all fun, fun, fun: I managed to make some field recordings of this wonderfully sounding city in between and during the boat rides, sight seeing, kebabs, fresh fish sandwiches, ayran, tea, locum, Turkish hospitality... take me back!!!
