That was a good evening out. When a bunch of 55-60 year olds get together it's quite surprising how much time is spent discussing early retirement & pensions. I stopped drinking fairly early & switched to coffee instead, but a couple of my colleagues may be glad they're not on duty this weekend.

Morning.
Can't decide what the weather is doing ! It's sort of very light grey , almost like the sun is about to break through but hasn't.

Perhaps the sun is trying on a few clouds at the moment !

I had to use a Coke bottle once ! Plumbers in and everything disabled. It was when I had problems with my gall bladder and didn't know it .

The pictures I took on holiday were with one of the cameras that I got working again . I'm pleased by how they turned out . I wasn't too happy when the camera threw a wobbly and decided not to recognise the memory card . It said that it couldn't be read . I tried the card in my brother's camera which is Nikon D70s and it said the same thing ! I didn't want to re format the card as I would have lost any pictures I had taken . I decided not to and hoped that our laptop back at home might read it . It turned out that there were pictures stored on it .
I will try a different battery to see if that has any effect after re formatting . I have found out that the Nikon's take nice pictures and the auto focus seems to lock on better than my Pentax , but they are hell of a lot more complicated and fussy about electrical contacts . One thing I find very frustrating is looking at the pictures you have just taken . I haven't yet figured out how to zoom in on them . With my Pentax I simply press the view button and turn the thumb wheel . Simple !

Lol I find my cannon Eos easy enough to use. Couple of lenses and a big memory card.
I prefer viewing pics on my computer monitor as the screen is quite small but getting the hang of different settings.
Never read the manual just press different buttons now and again.
