So I had painted up some lutradur in broad strokes, 

...begun the work of burning out some shadows...

... making progress... and then ERRRRRR! Slam on the breaks. I was using my very favourite fusible, Steam A Seam II, except, except, I had picked up a few metres of it the last time I was visiting family in the small-ish city in which they live, and didn't realize until I'd done all this work, that I had purchased the failed, crappy version of Steam A Seam II that has the crappy, impossible to remove release paper, rather than the re-released Steam A Seam II (the one with the blue parchment paper if you're wondering) and so I had to bin this work, plus the 3 metres of it that I had purchased. 

It was supposed to go on this. Which of course, now it won't. <SIGH!!!!!>

Here, have a picture of a sleepy studio cat instead. :)
