Aw bless she is crying, shouldn't have told lies

Aren't they all?

Feeling meh today, combination of a sniffly cold and Govt news. I'm three "event's" down and can see my last two going to the wall.

Less cold but rain forecast by midday. Had a realy good sleep as knackered after my trip and not yet finished unpacking.
Checked out a bag DIL put in my car as I am not likely to be back there before Christmas. Not tried to work out a total but she spent a lot of money on stuff I neither need nor want.
Bottles of wine which I will take back over for New Year tho' the anchovies and mussels have already been consumed.

I'm nowhere near that level of skill, but my mum's older brother was.

Me? I learned the hard way after I shot most of a race meeting with, unbeknownst to me, a cat hair on the sensor of my camera. Cue much photoshopping and much swearing.

With film, it would have only been on a few frames, with digital, it's there until you notice the problem.

I've just bought a 50mm f1.7 lens to use for macro.

I don't hear any wind or rain outside.

Something strange is happening

The storm has passed, quite pleasant this morning, apart from the puddles.

Just back from my morning hobble. Lovely morning for a change.

Two months ago I was cycling between two and three hundred miles every week but now I feel knackered after a relatively short walk on crutches

We have sunshine and blue sky !

Forecast is for it to cloud over later.

frigid ride last nite. just a few flurries to add to the fun

 

[DCLane]

My ride out today was diverted by the police, who'd blocked the greenway route due to looking for a 'wanted male'. Police cars everywhere plus the dog unit.

Clearly I'm not 'wanted'.

Mild and grey here chez Casa Reynard.

I hauled some wood this morning, and emptied the job lot of cat food from the car and stashed it in the utility room.

T'is almost time for luncheon.

Yeah... That was a good lesson to clean the sensor regularly. I keep one of those little rubber squeeze bulbs in my camera bag purely for that purpose.

The problem I had, was that one of my then cats used to love sleeping draped over my camera gear.

This was back in early 2004-ish, as I switched to digital in mid 2003. Got to the point where I did the maths on how much I was spending on film and processing, how much I would recoup per meeting in sales, fell off my chair looking at the numbers and the next day bit the bullet and bought a D60...

Sounds like a nice bit of glass

I love my 50 1.8 - it's not macro though, but a fabby little lens.

Back from having the Flooster and Bu jabs. A very helpful man explained how to use the temperature sensor and where to join the (short) queue.

It was very peopley out there! Due to illness etc and the lock downs I have not been out much since September 2019. That does not bother me as much as it might bother some people, cos I have the garden and books, and knitting, sewing etc etc.

In other, much better news, one of my nieces is expecting a baby, on or around the 29th December.
