The Pyrenees are fantastic. Twenty years ago, I lived and worked at the foot of them for six months. I could see the mountains from my office window. I’d often pop over into Spain and back. Unfortunately, I didn’t cycle then so a bus it was. What a waste. 20/20 hindsight, right?
Twenty years later, on day like today, I’m here. What the hell happened?!

I know the feeling ! just goes to show that we should grab our opportunities when they happen and not wait for something better to turn up.
I agree wholeheartedly about the Pyrenees , lm lucky enough to have French friends with a house there which l can use it whenever l want, more or less.
Come to think of it, l haven't even started on the Spanish side

Morning. It is tipping it down out there! I may have to push the boat out later !

Having a and a biskit.

Knackered. Needed to move a whole load of books and DVDs to get to my big camera bag to find my 1Dmk2. My poor 10D is starting to show its age and was acting up on Saturday when I was supposed to be taking photos at our show for the local paper. Flash shoe is caput, focusing is ropey and the batteries don't hold much charge anymore.

Not sure whether it's worth trying to get it fixed or not... Plus I'd need new batteries for it. FWIW, I bought the 10D new in 2004, and it's given me sterling service since.

Have you thought about a second hand one ? I bought my K10D from LCE years ago and has been performing well for years.

December I brought enough LED bulbs to replace everything in the house. The Kodak advertising on the display said they were guaranteed for 3 years. I kept the receipt, the first one failed after 3 months. It's going back. I'm fed up of the quality of stuff nowadays, even though they were a good price I the first place...but not if they only last 3 months

Kodak, not the company it used to be.
Unless you bought flash bulbs.

[QUOTE 5564591, member: 9609"]didn't get there in the end, managed to fall out with them on the phone before newcastle, so we didn't bother with the connecting train and had a nice meal out in the Toon instead.
Kittywakes were back on the Baltic - lovely seabird.

Morning delivery done. Nothing too challenging ; except the weather; just a bumboo seat .
Coffee stop now and on to the trainee barber.

 

[Illaveago]

Oops have finally admitted they have lost my parcel ! I was looking forward to receiving it for quite a while now ! I have received a refund from the seller who has been very good.
One wonders how someone could lose a shoe box sized parcel. Possibly dropped off with some other parcels by mistake!
I'll have to look for another one now .

I'll second that, I bought an almost mint second hand K3 a while ago and I'm very pleased with it
