Hehe - you are just back - and I head off on Wednesday morning

The joys of DIY

I've hesitated to comment - 'cos I can't on technical stuff.

Having said that I have to say I really do like the first one - By the Seaside and the other The Ticketbooth .

Here's why

They tell us something about what is fast becoming the past.

These are scenes that most of us know from our childhood - but these things , the slightly trashy sea front souvenir stall and the ticket booth for things like the trip round the bay are vanishing quickly.

We never needed to worry when we got to the beach - there were plenty of these wee stalls selling buckets and spades , rock [ the dentists delight ] and trays of tea and sandwiches . How many cafés now would let you take out a china teapot and cups and saucers and know they wouldn't get them back for a couple of hours ? No problems about that then .

They are a slice of history that needs to be preserved , and one way of doing it is by photographic record .

I think you will be much safer with that , not to mention the fact that if you buy from a retailer you will have no warranty problems [' grey' imports can bring problems .

possibly yes [ remember I don't use PCs ] but there is still the possibility of Malware - so that needs to be checked

And has to be paid BEFORE the camera will be delivered to you.

I'm in exactly the same situation I'm concerned over privacy and I'm not convinced that FaceBook has sorted out it's reported problems .

I have various ways I can send photos to my friends so FaceBook has no interest for me

I understand there's a huge selection of Patches coming on Tuesday from M$S

My PC Lappy will be dealt with when I come back from France - and it's done by a mate using LogMeIn since I don't use M$S or PCs - this lappy is kept for my daughter #1 so she can log into work.

That machine was used by my husband and never had a problem - no Norton stuff on it - he used Avast , mailwasher and various spyware detectors . All our machines have software Firewalls and sit behind a router .

I do have an AV ready for use if necessary but I only run this about every 6 months Yes I am careful very very careful indeed
