Our spotty dog never bothered his shirt about fireworks either - he would either just look up , sort of sigh and go back to sleep , as if to say " gawd not again " or he would go over to the window , then ask to be let out into the garden and just watch . He really was a stoooopid hound

I can get out onto the balcony again now (last week the handles were put back on!) so I'll be trying to get some decent FW shots. The big display last year was almost unimpressive from here, I might go out and try to get some better shots. Bret

Welcome back. Sounds like you had a great time. That bird box sounds really cool. I am envious. I hope you soon get some residents in it. I wouldn't give Cyril too much chocolate - it is a poison for many animals.

Today is something special, it only happens once a year. Yes, I actually cleaned my car! I shall now drive 300 miles to Bristol and back, so I can get its protective layer of dirt back... (oh and its my birthday) Happy New Year everyone, btw...

Don't know about the effect on cyrils but chocolate spread is a good mouse bait. Been trying to catch a mouse lurking somewhere under our corner sink unit - final got it with choc spread at the end of the trap yesterday. Released the captive into the undergrowth whilst cat far away. Reset the tr...

Are you sure it wasn't the same one? I'm afraid I use traps that kill the wee critters - I had a humane trap once and released the mouse - only to see the little so and so running back towards my house before I could get back myself. Now I use "Super Cat" traps - they have a very effective bait buil...

Back home now - official diagnosis was a stomach bug! She's been on deaths door all day, at doctors again she still really poorly, gets to hospital and makes miraculous recovery to make you look like a right plum! Glad to hear she's improving! Weirdly I occasionally have the same thing - once I k...

The only reliable way I've found to shoot fireworks is with the 18-55mm set at infinity (switch to manual focus) and 18mm. It was a bit damp and miserable to get the tripod out last night and I only let off a handful of rockets before going to bed!

Ah well it's back to the grindstone tomorrow. First days work since Christmas eve and my bike's battery is on charge, with a bit of luck she'll fire up in the morning. I've been using the car since the snow started, so it'll make a change getting out on the bike.:)

Husband back to work today. Got to get used to the quiet around here again! The paths in the woods are a nightmare - sheet ice and so hard even my grippy things can't bite into it in places. :( Everywhere else the snow is almost gone, but those paths are lethal.

We're not expecting snow her, but a gritter has just gone up the road! That's pointing to ice on the ground in the morning, and me back on a bike.:shock: Oh well!:wink:

signs appeared on our street tonight saying "move your car by 7am or it will be towed as we are clearing snow" (€60 towing charge...) then when I got back from the sledding hill with my daughter, they were clearing the other side of the road ?! Ah well, at least I have somewhere to put the car, even...

Mouse is back. Bag in the bin under the sink been ravaged. Rather pointless as all food waste goes into special roddent resistent recycling box on the work surface. Going to mark the varmint with a dab of paint when it's captured and release it at the bottom of the garden - well away from the h...

Only 4 messages in the spam box. One of which was spam and two that I never received from ebay about closure of a group I was subscribed to. One off Pentax Forums, not sure why that went in with the spam? I get stuff almost everyday off them. So 1 proper spam mail in 2 1/2 years :shock: 500...

For me I work on the basis of start small (big numbers) and if it doesn't get it off then work your way up and back down. One of the most important things is to wash it down before painting and make sure you keep the temperature constant whilst it's drying.

I've got a load of aluminium bodywork to sort out this summer - want to deal with all the flaky bits before they get worse, and there are a couple of distressing pitted areas in the back door (lurking below the handle).

I'm hoping for some clear blue skies combining with a day off in about four weeks time - want to get out and use that roll of Ilford SFX and the infra-red effect only kicks in with strong sunlight. Plus as soon as those conditions occur after some heavy rain I want to get back out to Llyn Briann...
