Speak for yourself. It won't do it to me - because I already am!!

Strange how a technology is seen as bad if it means that some people won't have jobs. Was it a bad thing when newspapers started to print pictures in colour? It was for my neighbours's son. He was a press photographer for local papers. And colour blind. Work dried up pretty quickly. Looking back in my family tree, there's a maker of straw hats and a saddler. Not many of them around now, thanks to changes in fashion and the rise of the motor vehicle. People will find other jobs to do. And sooner or later a robot will work out that 'f8 and BE THERE' is what is needed rather than an AI generated picture. Then the robots will declare war on the AI factories and we can sit back with smiles on our faces and say "See, I knew nothing good would come of it. Now be a good slave-bot and get me another beer."

Please enlighten us, so we won't end up behind bars (of the wrong sort) if we go to France .

But not the K3iii.

I like these a lot. And familiar views, too - not far from where I live and even closer to where I used to work. The colours remind me of a certain type of postcard that sells well around here!

Steve

An excellent set, well seen and well taken .

Did you scare the people away, or was it something else ?

Steve

Looks like you've been having fun! No. 3 is my favourite. There's surely a story behind that black headed gull looking down at the heron. If only we knew what the bird was thinking...

My house used to love me. It's now complaining about being neglected for too long .

Sealing paint might well be needed. It depends on what the ceiling is like after I've attacked the mould. I discovered sealing paint after a year or so of our first house - Victorian, terraced, cheaply built, showing its age, cavities bridged by 100 years of decay. Paint it on, paper over it, hope the damp doesn't come through somewhere else before we move house...

Or that this one has been taking up shelf space for long enough and they want it to generate some income?

Steve

Thanks Chris, I'll have a look for it. The mould won't go until the leak is fixed so no hurry, unfortunately. Years ago I had some very good brush-on stuff but used it up getting rid of deeply embedded mould in the bathroom. It was probably full of chemicals that are now banned.

The worst thing about getting rid of the mould is that I'll have to move two wardrobes and all my electronic things that are connected by a jungle of cables (PC, hifi, electric piano etc.). And then I might be asked whether it's about time the room was decorated...

Wet patch with black mould in bedroom ceiling. Roof ridge tile no longer where it should be. Must have been done by January's storms. Roofer coming to fix tile in a couple of weeks. Hoping for a dry February. Are houses really malicious, or does it just seem like it sometimes?
