First year in ages where I haven't had any camera gear on my Christmas list!

I have however bought the wife a new camera (we won't discuss the brand...) plus extra lens and my dad a massive telescope

It's as good a place as any to ponder K10D. What might you be pondering about?

Not much good for selling (I know from experience) but Ebid can be a good source for buyers, unlike Feebay Ebid have virtually no seller fees (other than initial joining fee) so sellers can offer stuff at a more competitive price, and of course it doesn't cost anything to join as a buyer.

I've found Gumtree a bit hit and miss though I suppose it depends on what your selling.

What to buy the wife for Xmas.

Just back 30 mins ago. Cold wet and windy. Wonderful contrast to the 39'C I left behind in Oz.

She is already happy with the white Q and flew back from Oz last Sunday.

Maybe a new clothes iron?

Body clock still in Oz. Got up at 2am this morning. Pottered about and considered getting a snap of the sunrise. Shock! No sunrise.

At least it's wet and windy, the weathers not much better.

Off to Whitby today for lunch at the Magpie. (It must be done).

Only question now is "should I buy here a steam iron or a cheaper model and a water spray bottle".

On the way home I saw a really funny thing but didn't have a camera with me
On the front of a house we drove past, the large Santa ornament had slipped and was hanging with the cable around it's neck. Looks like a Suicide Santa
