Check out Smiths - most of the gardening mags are giving away bundles of packets of grow-your-own-veg seeds.RobL wrote:

You mean you managed to buy seeds?? Apparently they, along with booze, are the new bog rolls.I’m in for the long haul, just dug up a flower bed and am planting salads and veg., and tomatoes in what is laughingly called the greenhouse.

Very interesting, but no definitive conclusion. Pentax users will find the 645Z works exactly like any other Pentax DSLR, Fuji users will find the same but relating to the Fuji mirrorless range.
Both cameras produce stunning results, handle fairly similarly but not identically and cost within the same ballpark figure, maybe the Fuji slightly less expensive, depending on lenses chosen.
Whichever one anyone would like to buy for me I would be happy to use!

Heck, I wouldn't mind the 'blad - with a Phase One digital back, of course...

I've just received the MPB newsletter, which contains a link to their blog, a 'hands-on review' of the Pentax 645Z vs the Fujifilm GFX 50S. And both compared to the author's film Hasselblad.
It may be of interest to people here.

I have a cheap (£20 from Argos, I think) secretary's chair, which I find really comfortable.
What annoys me about these chairs is that they have five 'feet' and if you need to replace the the casters, you have to buy them in fours!

Delightful, great use of flash too. I notice that more and more a brief burst doesn't actually bother some species.
I remember reading, a long time ago, that a lot of wild animals (presumably including birds) aren't bothered by flash at night because they assume that it's lightning. Dunno how true that is for daytime hours though.Delightful, great use of flash too. I notice that more and more a brief burst doesn't actually bother some species.
I actually prefer the third.
But then, see my sig...
