We spent some time working on the Torus telescope and Tardis observatory yesterday.. maybe an hour working on the wheels and rail transport and then moved inside to work on the telescope. About 10 minutes in I make the startling revelation that I was not alone.

Rick made mention of hitting his head on his telescope large counterweight a few times before padding it. I did indeed hit mine as I recoiled.

This had been inside, keeping warm on the heat vents of the UPS that powers everything in the Tardis, *watching* me!

Kim was kind and brave enough to get it into a bucket, and then released into the wild.

Not far away enough for my liking!
