Weekly Update 157

Hungary! And that's about as much intro as I'm going to do on that because this is going out super later and I'm writing this at the end of a very long day. Only other thing I'll mention is the audio - the Instamic failed to record again so it's now going firmly into the e-waste bin.

Anyway, on a more positive note, enjoy the beautiful sights of the Hungarian parliament before you jump into this week's update:
