You are welcome to come and play in my new Kitchen, Tony , as long as I'm allowed to eat the results

It's fantastic how the top oven heats the place while it's cooking my tea [ as it's doing at present ]

you know the problem with Cyril don't you ?

He's forgotten how to forage for his own grub - he knows you will force feed him So he brings his mates with him That squirrel is not stupid .

I've had to sweep away some water today and I've now salted it heavily so it won't freeze [ I hope ] overnight

OK - since I don't have a K5 I really should stay out of this -

BUT

To my mind , there are so many of you with this that Pentax are not going to be able to wriggle out of it .

Why don't all of you contact the dealer you bought the camera from ?

Chris knows how many he has supplied from SRS and, though under our law, as the supplier/retailer he is responsible for rectifying the problem [ sending them back to Pentax ? ] he is probably also wondering just how many he still has in stock are affected .

I really hope that you all have this sorted out as fast as possible - particularly anyone that doesn't have a back up camera body

Not here it hasn't and we are now getting ice instead of fluffy snow

Suffering for the sake of art ?

Nope - sorry I think that's going too far

I think that comment is a tad OTT.

No-one is asking you to join them - it's a personal choice.

I know that some camera manufacturers are using Twitter to get feed back from people , and Black Rapid Straps are doing a daily give away on their Twitter feed .

Facebook - well I have absolutely no inclination to use it - but many do

And I have some sun

AND

If I so wish I can get my Freelander out and on to the road

I'm kind of worried - I do have puddles of liquid on the concrete so lots of salt has been added to them

It's raining

So far quite a bit of my snow pile has vanished . If this keep up, I'll be able to get the car out tomorrow

PROVIDING

all the salt that I've put down is sufficient that the liquid pooling on my yard remains as a brine solution . I really don't want to be in last January's situation of 2 ins of ICE in the yard

O M G

Not for me

about 30cms in my back garden though I've managed to dig a fair amount out - still can't get my Freelander out of the garage
