Just had pheasant for our evening meal, cooked slowly with cider and sliced red onions, Fantastic.

What I can't understand is how come we couldn't get pheasants in season when the fields are over run with them!!

Not seen that series, will look it up and give it a try.

Good to see Cyrils back (or front actually!) and looking fitter than ever Tony.

I missed this in the flurry of activity when the PENTAX-DA 560mm f/5.6 was announced, maybe I didn't think there'd be 2 new lenses pencilled in this year.

It looks like a 'budget' 50mm. Why f1.8 I don't know, but is somebody at Pentax listening to what we want?

When the DA35 was released we asked if it was the start of a more affordable range, looks like this is number 2 in that hoped for addition.

When it arrives at an affordable price and proves that it will sell what will we see next?

Repeats, now the BBC has 4 channels it's getting as bad as Dave (the TV Dave that is, not any body here!) at repeating things.

The independant channels are as bad, I noticed the same film on 4 different channels over 2 weeks!!

What ever happened to 'more channels means more choice'?

On a brighter note, literally, the suns out and it's a fine day.

Is it just me or is Saturday evening TV dire at the moment?

I don't much care for games shows, soaps and the like, give me a good light drama.

Not the dross that's been on, in general, this evening!

Well, I 've just noticed that I've been using my camera with the shake reduction turned off.
Heaven knows how the pictures will turn out!

BMW MOT'd, taxed and insured, now it's of to a North Yorkshire pub for a few nights.

Not on the bike though, the boss said " I did the Arctic circle 28 years ago that's enough, now I want comfort"

I'm not arguing, she's driving...

Drinking's a pleasure?

More a vocation for some eh 'spider?

Ops

I'd forgotten you'd moved to Bergen.

The only thing I remember about there, apart from rain was the only Yamaha bike dealer for something like 600Km.

There was a nice little cafe overlooking the harbour, but where it is I forget, all I remember is 3 steps and a nice dry room with hot coffee and cake. It was 25 years ago.

Have you been to Frogner Park?

The Vigeland sculptures are superb and suitable subjects to photograpf in all conditions.
