The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

6.4 mile wander done and just finished my muesli.

I’ll stick the telly on later for the Great North Run. Elite women start at 10.25 and men at 10.50 if anyone else is interested.

I enjoy watching it, more so than the big marathons.
Unfortunately I'm committed to the tour in the park.

Cracking pics. That’s surely with an actual camera and not a phone?

Mo, serious question.
Is there a simple way to get a photo from "proper" camera to this forum without a lap top/computer.
Reason for asking is, I'm thinking of resurrecting my DSLR but no longer have a lap top.

I have a dongle that accepts an SD card and then plugs in to my phone. Does exactly what you want

@numbnuts

Morning.
Bit damp and drizzly here although due to brighten within next hour or so.
Washing to be done so hope it will dry up plus I want to ride.
Now though, coffee...

Oh right, I will get that sorted asap.
How would I describe it on Amazon ?

Here’s one as an example that seems to take various card formats.

Sorry, just noticed that seems to just be for iPhone but I’m sure if you look in that section you will find one for Android if that’s what you have.

You used to be able to get an SD card for cameras that had the ability to transmit to your phone/laptop

can't remember how it did it - and not even sure it still is being made

I did consider it for my "proper camera" some year ago but decided it was not worth the extra
but it was a "new thing" at the time so there might be cheaper ones around now

Off to the North Eat this afternoon and will be there for a few days

so you probably won;t hear from me if I don;t take the laptop
typing on the phone generally is so error prone that I just don;t bother
but I'll keep watching what everyone is saying

TTFN

Morning all

The easiest method is probably to buy a SD card reader for a phone and import the photos, most laptops have an SD card slot.

Good morning. A bright and sunny day here in Lancashire. I see I've been AWOL for seven days and 28 pages or so. Mea culpa! It's been a busy week; Mrs P's birthday, two days of childminding then away for three days with friends. We did a a Warner Holiday hotel and had a great time, on our own. We didn't join in. The manager said to me "you realise the entertainment is mainly what you've paid for?" "Yep. That isn't why we came." It's a bit like Butlins for old people! The headline turn was Leanne Mitchell...............................she won the Voice UK in 2012. You get it?

Anyway today I have to finish painting the shed. I'm riding tomorrow and the rest of the week is either busy or dodgy weather. I will return with a G&T this evening.

San Sebastian is a wonderful place. Fabulous atmosphere at night. When we were there it came to life at midnight.

I'm not sure we will be out on the town at that hour. 🛌
