Mundane News

Kind of wasted day stuck indoors. Still damp but cannot walk far and trike is not good on probably busy single track road.
Isle of Harris News is topical tho’.

Trying to get next week organised. I'm supposed to be on a regular pattern of two days in one centre and three days at the bike workshop but as usual this isn't going to work and I'm in three different places next week, with one days training in fire prevention.

Is that the one where they just suggest that you don't cook anything?

One last late shift and then it's a whole week off work. Managed to get the chains on 4 of my bikes cleaned & lubed before work while listening to Eurosport's coverage of Paris-Roubaix, then a late breakfast and a 27 mile extended commute in to the office.

I've been left a packet of mini chocolate orange eggs as they were given to someone who can't stand them - there's some strange people out there!

We went through a period when the Scottish Prison Service decided we should be trained to be able to wear SDBA and enter a smoke filled area to retrieve someone. Never had to use it for real thankfully. I found it a bit claustrophobic.

In the late 1960's I did the fire fighting and damage control part of my basic training at HMS St Vincent, including retrieving a fire extinguisher from a smoke filled room wearing breathing kit.

That's a shame, I feel your frustration... I'd suggest borrow lens and battery from the fraternal unit initially, and see whether it's worth persisting. And keep looking on the 'bay.

Shame you're all the way t'other side of the country, otherwise you'd be welcome to furkle through my box of old camera bits.

Thanks !
I had a crawl around in our loft and found a box full of slides and some cameras .
My Regula Sprinty C from 1966/67 , a Rank Mamiya , my brother's old 35 mm one . My Ricoh KR10X Super and some flash lights .
I spent some time this afternoon looking through my slides .

There are far worse ways of spending an afternoon...

Have just fed the cats (they've shared a raw chicken breast) and soon it will be time to feed me.

Horrendously wet evening. I think I will watch some Inspector Morse.

I am watching the snooker.

Tonight's food will be posh - but quick and easy.

That is where a standby freezer comes in useful.

I'd just fill that one as well

Mine is kept empty unless there is too much for the kitchen one ie seafishing can generate a large volume and when I gardened more there were sometimes gluts of produce.
