This really sucks

Sometimes I'm amazed at my own stupidity. I know you shouldn't vacuum off excess scenic materials until they've been properly glued down and I know you have to wait until the glue is fully dry. Nevertheless, when I clambered up into the loft this morning and saw a few stray cork granules sitting atop yesterdays scenic work, I couldn't resist. They had to be removed - immediately.

So out came the vacuum and I delicately positioned it over the offending debris, thumb on one rail to prevent the nozzle getting too close. Of course, nothing happened, so I edged the nozzle a little closer until sluuuuurrrrrppppp - half the fassanwassandickdastardly scenery vanished in a bout of suction not previously seen outside of the Oval Office.

I've since patched this area and won't be making the same mistake again. Probably.
