Another Freecycler was offering CAD software plus all the manuals, and after seeing Kai's latest works (see here, but you'll need the Google SketchUp viewer to play properly) was happy to let Ken collect it yesterday. Unfortunately he was at Marshfield (on the way to Chippenham) and it took Ken all day to get there and back on assorted buses... And the software is from 1994. Not sure if it'll work on any of the newer computers, although it might on the old one. I've been too out of it the last couple of days to check.
Ken popped into the church at Marshfield while he was there. He said:
Incidentally, I found a six-inch golden slowworm in St Mary's, a young one that had lost its way and couldn't escape; I managed to rescue it without incident, and placed it back in the fresh air in the cool earth among the flowers. I can't help but wonder at it - if it had been a dream I'd have been thinking of the symbolism of a serpent in the house of god! They do say truth can be stranger than fiction.
Um, yes...
My ribs hurt from coughing. I shall be glad when this is gone. Need to go shopping tomorrow regardless of how I feel.

Later edit: just tried downloading and playing with the SketchUp viewer - it's pretty nifty! Might get the whole thing and explore creating landscapes...
