I gave up on Masterchef a long time ago. What was a gentle programme became gradually more bleeuch, and the new (Australian) format turns it into X-factor meets the Apprentice with cooking thrown in. The Dutch adopted the Australian format to. Really nasty.

Well it is getting to nippy to sit outside much longer so I guess I shall pack up and head indoors. Either that or find a fleece to put on.

Well I'll bring it back to pointless then .

Just had asparagus for my dinner.
Locally grown ( 5 minutes away), great big thick white spears of heaven, accompanied (since it was our first asparagus of the year) by new potatoes, ham and Hollandaise sauce. Washed down by a glass or three of Riesling. Yummy.

Now sitting in the garden in a postprandial haze .

Lovely photo Bernard!

Lovely set David. It is good to see the windows in such detail.

Whilst Chester Cathedral does charge a fiver entrance fee it is very welcoming to photographers.

National Geographic have just extended their range of bags tremendously. Maybe there is something there to suit you.

I have a Tamrac Expedition 5 which is just about perfect for me being extremely comfortable to wear and holding my K-5 with 17-70 lens plus the Bigma and the 60-250, with room for a couple more and a flash, plus my netbook and my tripod too on the outside. It is heavy though, but I manage it with my bad back, arthritis etc etc. Not much room in it for sarnies and a jacket though.
The straps are well padded and comfortable with both waist and chest straps for added stability and comfort.

Congratulations Bernard! Enjoy meeting your new grandson.

Glad I'm not the only one .

Maybe someone can sew some up for you? They aren't that hard to make. There are some videos and instructions out there on the Net for how to do it.
This one is for a complete insert but could be adapted to make individual dividers.

That depends on whether the marks in the viewfinder match those on the image. It could be a dirty viewfinder and a dirty sensor/lens.
