Lens cap has turned up - don't know why I couldn't see it , in fact there are now 2 sitting on the shelf with my lenses , infrared remote and other assorted camera stuff .

How can things vanish ?

Busy getting the stuff ready for sending in the K-x and I need a lens back cap !! I seem to be short one for the lens that's on the K-x at present . Everything else is present and correct .


Grrrh - time for some coffee

I've small paws - so the size of the K30 wins - I'm told it's almost identical to the K-x .

This year's rain has really irritated me so moving to the weatherproofed one makes sense - otherwise I would not have changed the K-x

Well - that's torn it

A black K30 with 18-55WR will be winging its way to me after the New Year

Tsk you got that wrong - it's only 10 sleeps till Santa comes









some of us work on the Julian Calendar

I seem to be exceptionally lucky

Though our Delivery system has changed I still get the same actual Postman and he and I have a sensible arrangement. If the parcel won't go through my letterbox [ which is bigger than standard ] he takes it to my back door [ I'm a corner house so he passes the gate ] and drops it in a prearranged place - hidden from the street , but easy for me to check.

The other day a biggish parcel arrived and was dropped in that place [ it came by van not the postie ] and had been marked at the delivery/sorting Office as to be delivered to the back door .

Postie knows that I have problems with the front door lock [ roll on some decent weather and I can get it sorted ] and climbing the stairs to answer it - so he helps me out . Nice man

I did rather well this year

A card arrived from Dublin - no stamp of any flavour And I wasn't asked for any money for it

I told the sender - seems it had gone through his company's franking machine , through the Irish Postal System and through ours, and hadn't been caught What it did have were the two sort of orangey lines from the sorting machines .

Bet it's kind of quiet and subdued

A very nice sleeping draught to be sure

Happy Christmas to all

may you feast , drink and be merry
