WTD = What the Duck.
What does it mean in this case?
Just curious!
The Sigma 10-20 is probably the best wide angle unless you can afford the Pentax 12-24. I believe the older model is better than the new one.

I would not talk to any police officers about this but consult a specialist lawyer before doing anything else.

It hurts when you lose a much loved pet. Take it easy, and give yourself time to mourn your lovely Oscar. A fine name for a fine looking cat.
Rest in peace Oscar, now over the Rainbow Bridge.
I hope your other cat(s) give you some comfort.

He sounds like he was a very special man, who enjoyed life.
May you have the strength to get through the difficult days ahead.
He lives on in you and all those who remember him.

But wait, you are in the UK so how did you get that duty free?
And did it keep you on the level or were you feeling the tilt?

Have a look at this clock. It is pretty clever. Click anywhere on it an it turns digital, click again for analogue.

You're right about the photographic content here. I tried last night to get it back to pointlessness but failed miserably .
We had snow today . Luckily it didn't last long but i didn't expect it. yesterday was a lovely sunny day, and today is grey and misty - the snow came from nowhere, turned to a mini blizzard and went just as fast as it arrived.

He may return one day, but don't hold your breath.

Where are you going on safari? It may affect which length is best.
I had a 28-300 when I went to Tanzania a few years ago. Very occasionally it was too short - leopard and rhino shots in particular. But mostly it was fine, as we could get close to most of the animals.
You could consider the Bigma - Sigma 50-500 or maybe the Sigma 150-500. The Bigma though heavy would cover most of the range you want, so you don't need to keep changing lenses.
