The problem Mike highlighted happened to me, but I can't recall issues with the IS (I don't have a grip anymore - too wobbly after the K10D!)

Gwyn - a company called Occado do home delivery for Waitrose and I've had them deliver to a camp-site before! So if you know where you're going to be within a one hour time slot...

Fatspider - how muchroom do you need for the onion rings then?

If you want Chorizo then the best is from Waitrose - comes in a card envelope and is made by "Marcos". It is "100% Artesano" and tastes slightly different each time, but is simply superb. Costs a bloody fortune, but it's worth it!

Sanity prevails - and I have apologised to mine for calling it ugly and promised an outing this weekend...

I don't use it a lot, because the DA40 or DA16-45 tend to end up as walk-around lenses now. But I won't sell it. This is one lovely lens, sharp and rich, even if it is an ugly bugger, and £30 is a steal.

ISO - a decent ale (Shepherd Neame in your part of the world?) trumps lager any time, but the local shop hasn't installed pumps yet (tut!) I assume you will be giving it another go tonight - weather permitting

Well...just tucked my son back in bed and he's very happy having clocked 10 meteors in the last twenty minutes. Getting cloudy now though - Peroni finished, I'm off to bed. Best of luck to those with your camera's poised!

Humidity is certainly up - the camping chairs are damp already! Come in for a few minutes as nothing's happening. Back out at 11 (I've told my 8 yr old son I'll wake him if there are fireworks!!)

Set up a couple of camping chairs facing north east and was greeted with a meteor buzzing off to my left. Nothing for the following 10 minutes though. Skies have cleared nicely here in SE England, but light pollution is unavoidable. Pouring a nice cold Peroni, then off to settle down and watch & wait!

The DA40 is a great lens and another advantage is that you can take the camera out with just that lens and it's really compact.
