I've quite a few folk that I know over there [ not just the folk from here ]

I've been having a nice wee drinkie with my dinner tonight and raised my glass to you all.

Happy Thanksgiving

That is BRILLIANT

iPhone ?? can't get that with my £5 deal with Virgin

Have to admit my Virgin deal is quite good unlimited Texts to any mobile , unlimited calls to a Virgin Mobile and 100 mins of calls each month .

Well - that's been an expensive day so far

Train tickets bought for a trip to London in November [ hmmm which camera will go - the K0x or the P70 - suspect it depends on the weather ]

Then just organised a new Sat Nav system - never managed to get to grips with the one in Freda - blasted thing always showed 3 routes but I couldn't manage to bring up the routes to choose the best one - AND it always took me into Glasgow to get on the M74 which was actually only about 7 mins away .

I'll get the new system next week - possibly toward the end - but I'll get the manual downloaded before then

I have a Black Rapid and an Optech

I prefer the Black Rapid but from time to time I've needed the Optech so I have the 2 Optech attachments permanently on the K-x now - then I can choose which is appropriate for the' occasion'

Now that is almost a cuteness overload

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Yes - some areas of the UK do indeed have red squizzies - I've seen quite a few in the recent - 4 years - past in Dunfries

There was absolutely no way I could have got a shot of that cheeky critter - I'd needed to get 2 doors open to get out and catch a shot - the Squizzie KNEW he was safe - I could swear he was laughing at me

Just been irritated by a squirrel

Had gone into the kitchen and happened to look out of the window - and then through the window in the Sun lounge - and i was looking at an angle of approx 45degrees.

There, sitting on top of the fence , and fitting exactly between the slats on my sun-lounge blinds was

A SQUIRREL

a right cheeky alert grey squirrel who was watching me watch him!!

If I'd moved to grab the camera from the next room he'd have gone . Blasted critter was taunting me . I moved and he fled

That sounds positively disgusting Gwyn
