The institute for fanciful studies say that burrowing may have to increase!
Well I think they said that or my hearing is playing up .

Right, lunchtime.

Face is numb but not hurty. Feels weird when a furry purry rubs up against the numb...

Having a quiet day digitizing some motor racing programmes in my collection for a friend in Japan.

Arguably the UK's politicians have been digging themselves into a hole for some time..

Holiday booked for next October, can't believe we struggled to get what we wanted & had to pay more as the one we actually wanted was full.

Race programmes all scanned and converted to *.pdf files.

Now I need to remember how to scan negatives and slides... Can't find the user manual and haven't used the lightbox on the scanner since I went digital in 2003!

Edited for blonde moment on the word order...

Aren't slides easy as they are the right way around, no idea on negatives

1st or 2nd up the hills on last nights CTC social ride. A good sign for the new recumbent. But back of legs know about it, and for next few weeks, whilst legs adapt to new riding position.

It's not the what, but the how. Google to the rescue.

Both are the right way round pictorially - unless you put them in back to front. Slides are less faff because it's colour positive film, so it's scan and you're away. Colour negative film, you have to use the "negative" function in your image editor (in my case Photoshop CS2 - old but still good) to flip the colours to what they should be.

That's what I meant

I wish to join the bothersome belly brigade. Bemusingly bubbly!

Most of my old stuff is 35mm colour negative - I was a broke-ish student at the time I really got into motor racing photography and slide film (and processing) was just so much more expensive.

Time to go and bash some veggies for supper. Am making tortilla.
