No1 daughter is in hospital for her Crohn's infusion today and grandson has a cold so might not be able to go to school.
I may have a snotty 7 Yr old to entertain for the day

The road sweeping machine has just been driven around our close.
As it was a few minutes after 08:30, it was full of cars as workers and school run folk were still parked.

The middle of the road is nice and clean, though

I've never really known what the difference between a ship and a boat is. So it might be strapped to a ship. As for whether a hovercraft is a boat or a ship or an aircraft, I'll leave to the experts.

Daisy's been in my bedroom to sort out my plumbing. It's not often I get to meet lady plumbers. Anyhow, I now have a working radiator in the bedroom. That only took 7 weeks to sort out....

I'm probably wrong, but I think that you can put a boat on a ship, but not a ship on a boat....

HTH

It's rather wet outside. Got a soaking going to work. Heavy rain and rather warm.

Another form another delay some suppliers are useless whilst others are just brilliant

Further to our discussion over coffee sarf of the river, I'm trying some ergo grips on the Brommie. They're really comfortable and look the part, I reckon.

guess I'm a baseball fan again. Red Sox are doing great!

Sony Alpha 200, as I already have a bit of old Minolta Maxxum/Dynax stuff around, and do not really need much more in terms of megapixels and modernity.

Probably the most important thing is to have something you're comfortable with and can use without having to read the manual! And, these days, software support is a factor.

Yes, but Sony bought out Konica/Minolta not long after they merged, and kept the lens mount. The A-200 sold, but I found an A-350 for about a sawbuck more. I suppose I shouldn't have gone to St. Louis today, but it all worked out for the best, as I got a better deal.

And the bits of glass can be expensive. Having a lot of 42mm prime lenses, I have adapters I can use.

btw, it's raining.

For reasons that are too long (and tedious) to explain, l have been unable to ride any of my bikes for pretty much all of this year but yesterday l started a get cycling fit (ish)again regime . Only on the trainer thingy but its a start and it does my confidence a power of good. Not only that but l am actually peddling one of my favourite bikes
