All this talk about retirement, we're almost developing a point!!

Day one of the kitchen fitttng, all's going well except..

Mid afternoon I hit my thumb with a slightly smaller hammer, the one I'd been waving around prior was a BIG hammer, a nice little bruise started.

8:30 this evening was a visit to the local small injuries unit as the pain in my hand was un-bearable, had an X-ray followed by a hole in the thumb nail to release the blood, and pressure.

Now sat watching Doc Martin, the thumb has stopped throbbing and the wine is going down well.

I've a couple of M@Vs and find them a pleasure to use. if you need some batteries for the meter try Boyes.

A card of ten only cost a couple of pounds.

Unlike the crew in the middle of Bradford...

..they've occupied the new city park...

....a couple of days before the council were going to test the fountains...

...............where they're camping!!!!!

I haven't used an *ist, they're hard to find!

But I do have and use a MZ6, which is a very nice body to shoot with. The controls are pretty straight forward and the ability to use my DA 40 lens is a plus. You should be able to get a MZ6 at a good price(talk to Mannesty!) and shouldn't regret it.

Check out my website here for profile shots and my thoughts on the MZ bodies I have.

Sir jimmy will be remembered well, may he rest in peace.

To lighten the mood a little, my daughters new student accomodation...

..and wasn't the Gestetner the one that had purple 'negatives' that used spirit to treansfer the image/writing?

The one that was a stencil that pushed ink through it was something else...

I used both in an earlier life and got either high or filthy!

Those wewre the days...

The clocks are changing this weekend!!?

What into?

Elephants?

That'll realy mess up the sideboard!

Latest visit and the site seems to be getting smoother. I assume the bugs are being ironed out as the site gets more hits and they become apparent.

The new voting system is, in my eyes, better. It moves faster and is a lot better than having a slow page with 5 or 6 that you have to vote on before you can move on.

Why would anybody want to buy Greece!!

Italy , yes maybe, the olive oil alone would be worth it.

But Greece!!

All it has to offer is a massive building renovation project..

I got 'capped for 4 hours yeterday, the reason?

I updated 4, yes 4, WIN7 machines!!!

Still, I can download illegal film copies overnight and not worry about how long it takes..
