Do Tell!

nothing new or fantastic, a D90 body. it will replace my D100 eek! got that from my last employer.

it was getting unreliable. it is old & beat up

I went mirrorless with a bridge camera for my kids HS graduations & its wonderful for all kinds of things but too many menus. nice to use a regular SLR sometimes. the flash I got for the D90 is a pre-owned, like new, Nikon SB-900. I'm pretty excited about that!

the other camera I use a lot is Lumix DMZ-FZ70, w/ a 20-1200 zoom. perfect for graduations

but I can't compete with some folks around here, in the "your day's wildlife" thread. some of those bird photos & others, incl. closeups are so great & sharp

My RAC membership has risen to new heights so I decided to cancel and join Green Flag.
I find Green Flag and start my quotation not knowing it but I am filling in the Motoring Assistance quotation form.
I agree a price and pay with credit card. I read the email from Motoring Assistance and realised I have been had.
I quickly cancel my payment and a refund is on the way.
I join Green Flag this time ensuring I have the correct website but the Motoring Assistance application form pops up again. I call Green Flag and report this hijacking to them. Apparently Motoring Assistance pay Google to do just this the slimy gits.
I am now with Green Flag and happy I have saved loads of £££

Windy out, just been out to rescue the neighbour's wheelie bin as it was in the middle of the road.

The rain has eased slightly so a brisk lunchtime stroll was taken.
