bossman took a ride in an ambulance this morning. he wasn't feeling well, asked the GM to call the medics, when they arrived he was feeling better but didn't know his last name. I guess he is being evaluated. wishing him the best

I have a bit of a dilemma with the cheap camera now . Now that it is sort of working do I go and spend money on a lens and battery for it?

I suppose I have saved money in not having to send it off to be repaired and it has given me some fun and headaches in trying to research and discover what was wrong with it . It would be nice to see what pictures it would take compared to my Pentax.
I need to give it some thought .

can you acquire those items preowned?

It doesn't have to be a Nikon lens either (they can be quite expensive). I bought a Tamron 70-300mm with macro and it dies everything I want.

I need to keep repeating "This is Friday" as I am convinced it is Saturday.
Cold miserable day and temp is 11.4C outside so my solid fuel stove is on for the evening. Storage heaters now turned off.
Got a bit of gardening done. Raspberry canes keep spreading and grass tufts are intent on taking over my wildflower bit so need to get howked out. All the things I do not want in the garden grow like er weeds? Jerusalem artichokes will be starting soon but they do provide a screen to one side of my garden which helps to keep a kind of heat trap in summer.
Further along a neighbour is erecting what looks like a preloved concrete sectional garage in his back garden. There is no car access from the front and the landowner behind will not permit access from the back. I tried to get a back entrance to my property for motorhome parking but he would not budge fearing I suspect that I could build a house there.
It is now raining to add to the jollity. Too cold I think for my near neighbour to use his gazebo even with the antique stove he found being dumped in which he burns wood for heating.

There's probably a few disappointed day trippers here on the Suffolk coast. Inland it's a lovely sunny day so why not head to the seaside for the bank holiday - where Felixstowe is covered in a blanket of sea mist, there's a cold wind coming in off the North Sea and the temperature is in single figures.

At least the office is warm and the coffee is keeping me awake.

well good news, he's feeling better. not sure where he is, hospital or home, but the rumor is, it was a reaction to a prescription for his stomach. knowing him, it was probably too much viagra ... regardless, he's sending us all home early for Easter. so happy Easter & Passover to all!

Had a lovely walk around the village playing fields with a friend and her dogs.

They post out at the end of the week I think, so if you order on a Monday you might have a longer wait. I have ordered stuff in the past that has arrived in two days. I've bought Nikon batteries, GoPro batteries, AA & AAA cells... and many other things. I have never had any problems at all.

I always order well in advance, so usually it's never been a problem. Only time I ever had an issue was when I needed something in an emergency when a battery pack went t*ts up just before a race meeting I had to cover, and I paid extra for express delivery...

Anyways, time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

I'm ahead of you there, it feels like Sunday to me.

Meanwhile, I just knocked a water bottle out of the window and it landed on the scaffolding outside. So I climbed out to get out. Nice Sunset though.

It's getting northerer and northerer.

I've come back from a ride with my friends . It was warm and sunny . We stopped off at a pub on the way back for a drink and a chat . I had pint of cider shandy . We had done 24 miles by the tie we got back to my friend's house. My knee is playing up a bit . It didn't hurt when stretched out before but it does now !
I had another shock when I went to get fish and chips for tea . Cod is now up from £5.00 to £7.00 in a week ! So we won't be getting them so often from now on . So if that American living in number 11 is reading this . 10% of something is better than 20% of nothing !

Had a lovely supper of sea trout (steamed in a parcel), mashed potatoes, green beans and a good sploosh of melted butter with garlic, parsley and pepper in it.
