I shall call her "Talina"

A drastic change in financial circumstances and plans has occurred.
In the month since the last post, the pursuit of the machine became more earnest, vision was re-cast, strategy was reconfigured, I set out to hunt it down and I won!
Or lost.
Or gave in.
Or something.
Isn't she just lovely?
Like most other things in my possession, she needed a name before I could put her to work.  Apparently Talina is Norse for 'hard working', and Hebrew for 'home' (though I don't remember learning that).  According to the same dodgy names website it is also Latin for 'temptress', which might also be apt.
Tomorrow, once I have reclaimed my kitchen from the mountain of dishes from making a birthday cake, she will be given her first run - probably CADA, maybe Almond milk, vegetable stock, soup, risotto, sorbet, sugar-free chocolate, cake for morning tea at work... oh my goodness... the hopes I have for this little friend of mine!
