My husband tells me it was ketamine that I had when they did my elbow. Party drug of choice in certain circles it seems. I had a bit of a trip on it, but wouldn't want to take it voluntarily.


Sun is shining so I'm condemned to the garden this afternoon, laying a new path.
Not my favourite pastime.

Fortunately they knock me out when relocating my dislocated elbow. In the village doctors office which doubles up as the vet .

Only saw my local physio after that. And he is someone I have known since he was 4 and started school the same day as my youngest son.

My elbow is now reasonably straight, and makes a great weather forecaster.

Must change my winter tyres too. Thanks for reminding me.

We are looking at holidays now. Toss up between France (Provence/Pyrenees) or a trip on a Gulet along the Turkish coast and Greek islands. Not being a swimmer I'm not too sure about the second one. Afraid I will be bored out of my head while every one else is swimming. Must make up my mind this weekend though.

This is a situation where you need to tweak the white balance in whatever RAW converter you are using.

Is tat also purple fringing on the trees? I wouldn't have expected that from the 12-24 .

Think I'll pass on Cyril and sons doing my garden .

Luckily we only have red squirrels here. Fun for the dogs to chase in the woods, and lovely to watch.

Never manage to photograph one though .

Nice garden!

If I didn't have afore mentioned bitch I would have grass, even in my pocket handkerchief garden. But we had grass and she covered it in little brown patches, so I'm afraid it was easier to get rid of the grass than keep trying to repair it.

We have slabs and gravel now.

No grass here either. Female dogs and grass don't mix

In terms of lenses a camera lens and a camera objective are the same thing and they don't change whether they are on or off a camera.

"I used a 100mm objective" as the same as "I used a 100mm lens" or "I used a 100mm job" - it depends upon the individual writer's preferences.

English is a very rich and varied language that has more words than any other, so one idea or item can often be described in many different ways.
That's what I've always understood too.

And in Dutch I hear a lot of people use the English lens rather than objectief.

Well I have my netbook. I am using it now. Taken forever to set up, but I am getting there. I have put Irfanview on here for now, rather than Elements.
So far I am pleased with it, but the keyboard will take some getting used to.

I am pleased with the screen, but I couldn't use it for editing!

This Samsung comes with a sleeve, and due to a special offer a free bag as well which will arrive in a couple of weeks.

Now all I need to do is go on a trip to really try it out .

I understood the digital bill had been passed and was now in the Lords, to be rushed through before the election.

At least the Cider tax has been scrapped .

Driver is on his way it now says. Lets hope so, then I can play with my netbook instead of cleaning .
