The Retirement Thread

Cybershot RX100 v7. Expensive but reasonable zoom range and really tiny for tucking away in a pocket so you are far more likely to have it with you at all times.

Yes that is expensive, good reviews though. Outside our budget given the use it will get which I suspect will be limited.

Earlier versions appear to be available at more affordable prices. I shall investigate.

Well some of my guys have bailed. I'm unsure but think I'll go for a ride.

Everyone has bailed now. It's a good decision. Forecast for +5C at 09.00 tomorrow. I shall housework today and get a haircut - which was Tuesday's plan.

Swim done and back home, -2 this morning but with a bright blue sky and a touch of frost, looks lovely but very slippery everywhere. Meeting with a new web designer today, they can often talk the talk let us hope this one can do the walk.

Bonjour. Still cold here but not as cold as it has been for the last few days.
Talking about photography, I used to do a lot many years ago: weddings, portraits, competitions. I also used to do my own developing B&W and Colour in the 70's.
Now? I have a Nikon D3300 with 18-55 and 70-300 zoom lenses . I top up the battery every now and again but it is hardly used.

Good morning - It was very cold last night and the temperature indoors this morning was only 14°C. It's warming up a bit now.

I'll be riding to the allotment this morning. Going to our neighbour's house this afternoon to help set up their new computer.

Have the best possible day.

Morning all.......like everywhere (apart from bl**dy Devon) its freezing here.
I thought we were heading off to Liverpool but apparently we are going to deepest Warrington town centre.....yipee, I just cant wait.
Lunch may be at the Tapas bar.

Good day to you all. Stuck my head out the window and it seems a touch above freezing. Too dark to see frost or not.

Now I like Christmas. We're going to neighbour's for lunch, kids will be home etc. We will have a good time but........the time for me to find a present or two for Mrs P is rapidly approaching.

A couple of years ago we had a deal. Mrs P suggested we don't buy each other presents. Result! Christmas Day I have 4-5 little parcels, Mrs P "well I only meant big presents." This was not a good day for Paul. I'm such a literal person.........

Mrs P has done it again this year "As we are getting a new camera we can call that our present to each other." This year I won't be quite so literal.

Hope you opened it first!

Off out for a doggie walk and picking up a paper.

 

[PaulSB]

Hope you opened it first!

I thought it hurt.........I must try that.

+ 7 degrees Celsius here but overcast and light rain threatened. Not that far away on the mainland east of Connel there are warnings of black ice. Nobody seems to know about Sram rear hubs so a committee will have a go later at checking the lubrication on my Ice trike.

I've just got my £10 Christmas bonus

I'm sat in the garden centre at Countersthorpe with a coffee and egg on toast, its been a cold ride out and some of the small lanes have been interesting.
