We had a fairly crowded 3 days in the Pyrenees. Many of my pics are really snapshots of things - it wasn't easy getting things I really wanted but it was fun

1) The Chateau Fort in Lourdes

4) Fantastic building in Lourdes - the Hotel Moderne . It's like wedding cake icing and has been cleaned since my last visit - I'm fascinated by this weird shaped building

Pics taken with the K-x and the Optio.

Comments welcome [ beware there are more to come ] but please don't destroy my confidence - it's in very short supply at present

Hybrios - link

it comes with a set of Energiser Lithiums - which as you will have seen , we are all praising for their long life.

Ach you're only a youngster

Happy Birthday

Cheers _/ - oops - that one's empty - sorry - I'll fill it up and drink to your good health hic

Blast it - that's the car collected and now the rain is starting

Can't go out to play

Me a very happy bunny

Now if they would only come and collect the car , and the weather improves - I just MIGHT get out

Me waiting for a new lens

No - not telling you what it is

Speaking personally , I have , in whichever bag I'm using [ blasted BBA ] 2 sets of Hybrio batteries .

Getting ready for my trip to France I pulled out the set of NiMH batteries which also came with my K-x [ freebies and had been charged when I got the camera in December so I had a spare set then ] and found they had flattened already - but put the Hybrios in the charger and they were fine .

The K-x went to France with the Energisers in , and 2 sets of Hybrios as well as the set of Hybrios that were in the Metz flash.

This is so very very true - and to my mind it is very much a plus point .

Sorry you got caught that way.

Andrew - I really think it's more the British stiff upper lip 'thing' . It's just not British to show our emotions at these events .

Actually it can help to show them
