Sadly our local graveyard is very ordered and Dutch, with no old graves in it. Very boring place.

I like it too. It made me smile.

It would have been even better without the leather clad person in it, but that can't be helped.

Gaggia are no longer available in the UK . Are you sure?

I found this for you- http://www.gaggia.uk.com/

Mine is only a Saeco - I needed a machine quickly and it was the best I could find in stock at the time. I need my daily espresso .

Yes Stefan - check with the venue to be sure.
I have been to concerts where people were given the choice - hand over the camera or don't go in, but I have also been to them where I have thought damn wish I'd brought my camera!
And as for no flash allowed - that is standard but it never seems to stop those with phone cameras flashing away. Goodness knows how their photos turn out though.

Ok chaps, enough pensions and politics please.

I did check my U-bend but the little blighter was gone .
Ah well hopefully I'll have a new pin on Tuesday so I can enjoy an espresso again.

The sun is shining and it is a glorious day.

I showed the new Panasonic (for my DIL) to my husband last night when he go back from France, and commented I was tempted to get something like it, just to slip in a pocket when out. He said good idea, have a look and decide on one.
I am tempted by the new RZ10, but the W90 is also appealing.

But the K5 has priority right now.

See I am very good at spending money while we still have it .

I sometimes use a camera RAW white balance card for the first shot. I then use the eye dropper in ACR to set the white balance from that card.
I use a card I got free with a Scott Kelby book btw .

He may just have been having an off day when I saw him Stefan. I don't know. The music was good - but I could have listened to a CD for that.

It doesn't cost much to see him in Dordrecht, especially if you have a CJP.
Go and see what you think. He is a legend after all.
My husband is in Kiel then or he would have gone he says.

You may not be allowed to take the K5 though. Many places won't allow "professional" cameras in whilst everyone else is flashing away with their phones and P&S cameras.

I lost the little pin that sits in the portafilter of my Espresso machine. My fault - it is so small it fell down the drain because I forgot to put the plug in before taking it all apart.
So I e-mailed the manufacturer about it.

It would have been nice if they said yes, we have them, what's your address? We'll pop one in the post to you. Total cost to them under €1. But no. They cost 39c + VAT. Oh and €5 post and packing .

So I have just done a bank transfer of €6.85 (I ordered two of the things while I was at it). Ridiculous.

The camera I ordered for my DIL came with free insured post and packing - value of camera and accessories over €200. But a little bit of black plastic costs €5 to send

Good question Tim.
Hopefully everyone will revert to 1 a day - the thought of so many new photos every day otherwise is just mind boggling - there will be too many to really look at them all.

Sadly I can't make it, the ferry fare is just too extortionate I'm afraid.
