I mislaid my Skoda in a car park today

A symptom of driving the same car for 16 years and then changing combined with the fact that my 205 is rare enough to stand out and be easy to spot whereas a grey Skoda Fabia is the epitome of blandness.

Many years ago a friend came out of the pub, got into his Cortina, started the engine and went to turn on his recently purchased Cassette player but it was missing. Drat he thought (or words to that effect) and turned round to see if the speakers were still on the parcel shelf..........................no sign but the thieves had kindly left him a baby seat in the back.

Right I am going for a few miles

Did you damage the shelf?

No, but it had a lot of glassware on it, and several items fell on the tiled floor, which rather added to the drama of the situation.

Dry but a brisk cold SE wind with gales later.
On the subject of missing cars etc. My wife went out of her shop and got into her van and thought "this is a tip it needs to get cleaned out". She then realised it was not our van but the deli next door who had an identical make and colour wee Suzuki.
DIL's mother was in Tesco and son outside waiting in his car. She came out opened the back door and put her shopping in and got into front seat before turning to the driver who looked somewhat surprised since she was in somebody else's car.

I've just been up a ladder. It was very high and I was actually quite brave!

Rather you than me. I get in a panic walking on thick carpet.

I was looking on the bay of E at cameras and almost got tempted by one . I have been envious of the pictures that some peeps have taken with their cameras . I think I developed Pixie envy! Some of the pictures were taken with cameras with 24 megga Pixies. It makes my 10 look a bit small . Anyway! After reading through the chap's post it seems to have more problems than he mentions . He has listed it as spares or repair as the mechanism for the aperture has broken , but the mention of the mirror sticking could mean a motor on its way out.
I believe that the marvelous pictures are taken with the lens a couple of inches away from the subject .

Oh! I've heard that some people take pictures in the raw !

I think that's what they are talking about !

Buy a Zenit. You could drop it off a cliff and it will still work
