Morning.
Not sure what the weather is doing this morning as the clouds are flying by so fast . Not sure if the archery test thingy is going to go ahead this afternoon due to the conditions . It was being done through the men's shed .
In other news ! I was surprised yesterday afternoon to discover that the filling in my front tooth had fallen out !
I hadn't noticed it coming out . My tongue suddenly found a gap ! They shouldn't have gone mad cleaning it last week . I had my teeth cleaned , it was added on to my other filling being done the same day . I don't like the new teeth cleaning process . It feels like a wire wheel on the end of a drill . After the cleaning my tongue could feel an edge to the back of my front filling . I suspect that that weakened the bond .

In other news ! The cheap camera that I bought has given me a bit of an adventure !
I took it over to my brother's to borrow his lens and battery . He has a Nikon D70s so the bits fit . The first time it was switched on things lit up . It complained that there wasn't a SD card in there. It managed to go through the motions but didn't record a picture. An Err appeared and so spoilt fun for the day .
I looked on the net and peeps reckon that the contacts between the lens and body could be at fault . Gave them a bit of a clean . I also discovered that the SD card needed formatting . It is ages since I have had to start with a new to me camera .
I went over again to try out the new ideas . Switched on ! Went through the menu and found formatting and sort of did it ! It didn't want to. The metering system seems to work as I could see figures in the viewfinder and top display . I tried pressing the shutter which seemed stiff . It eventually went clunk and then complained !
I discovered last night that the mirror has stuck up ! It will go down if I move it but it snaps back when I let go . Seems like there is a jam in the mechanism . Perhaps it is why the camera was given away ?

Arrived at work; chaos as usual. Plan has changed five times since yesterday and likely to change again.
Still, I'm getting paid for it.
About to do an inventory of the bike workshop...

Dry but very windy with some snow visible on the high tops. Cold at 2C outside.
Neighbour has put a bin out but looking at the council timetable it does not seem to make sense. They publish a timetable but make it as difficult as possible to understand. I need to go and have a look at what they have put out and then get my own one out. It looks like glass bin day but he has put out recycling I think.

Having newly discovered I can get specialist radio stations on my work computer I can not recommend Aardvark blues FM enough! Nothing but blues of the highest quality, no annoying chatter other than 60 seconds of ads once an hour. I am in my music element in the office! 😁

I've been pondering the problem with my camera . I think that there must be a gear train which has jammed and needs to complete it's cycle before the mirror will return , a bit like how video recorders worked .

Really hoping Cassie is a pet and not a family member.
