Mike-p of course

Have a great time

The Photomonk has power again - it was out for about 16 very cold hours .

The North of Scotland has also been hit badly thousands of houses lost power about Thursday - I believe the last ones were reconnected earlier today - I hope.

To think we were all saying Global Warming seemed to be a non-event - since then the weather has gone mad .

I'll add in the USA to that - some areas are once more being hit by very heavy snow.

I had an SMS from the Photomonk about 13.30 today - he has been without all electricity [ power, lights, phone, heating etc etc ] for 12 hours. - a tree had split and came down on the power lines thanks to the storm - the third this week. Where he lives they do not have any gas so rely on oil and electricity .

Once they have some power again he will e-mail me .

YES - Pentax themselves say to do this

Grrrh

Phone call [ much appreciated BTW ] from SRS this morning.

The Courier has let them down - so my camera won't now appear till Tuesday morning . I had been hoping to spend the hours between bucket watching/emptying, setting up the P80 - but not so

Still I can play with my new Tripod instead [ thanks Pink ]

I did say secrets


And yes - I see it's all coming out now

Mike-P

you have accidents with nice equipment - and now we learn you have a dog that has a paper/magazine munching habit .

What other secrets are there which are still to emerge ?

Hmmmmm = some of us still need that basic sort of stuff .

I've been thinking of subscribing - not actually done it yet mind , but I will.

I honestly prefer to read a magazine - BUT the PDF idea would save me having to build a stack of magazines for future reference - and that would be good .

PDFs may also be much better for non-UK residents.

What I think we have to remember, is that there will always be beginners, but beginners will grow up and then of course they are replaced by more beginners

No easy answer .

Think you're right there . I've heard it referred to as 'the reading room'

Thankfully my husband never actually got round to making bookshelves and putting them up there
