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 .

A latch to hold the mirror down & a mechanism to move it down? If the latch isn't holding it will flip up.

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

Back from a very windy walk on The Washlands. Breeze gusting to 50mph, apparently.
My hat nearly blew off!!

You need to stick your hat down

Bright and blowy here chez Casa Reynard, with the odd shower rattling through.

Slept well and have spent the morning writing. Have also been thinking about the rat trap problem, and have decided not to buy a length of drainpipe to put them in. Instead, will buy four large tupperwares and cut an access hole in one end. That way the traps are away from the cats, they can stay triggered all the time and I can see the status of trap and bait.

I have been perusing the 'bay for a watch. I have a lovely mechanical ladies Omega DeVille that is far too nice to be an everyday wearer (even if it only cost me 50p on a jumble sale!), and the Seiko that I treated myself to back in 1994 for finishing my Foundation of Engineering course has started to eat batteries. I am looking at getting an automatic instead, doesn't matter if it's a bit battered as long as a) it works and b) it has a metal bracelet.

Soon, it will be time for luncheon.

Arrived at work; chaos as usual. Plan has changed five times since yesterday and likely to change again.

It did.

 

[DCLane]

It did.

On days like that I simply find things I can do, then wait until the plans get sorted out rather than stressing about things I can't do.

Oh, and my broken prize car is apparently fixed. Just sorting out delivery now ... and more filming.

Having to ask my 17yo if I could borrow what is now my ex-car was odd yesterday evening

Half the chocolate fell out of my pain au chocolat onto the floor earlier. I had a pain sans chocolat

My neighbours had a trampoline in their back garden. It decided it would prefer to be in the front garden .......... of the house opposite. One smashed to smithereens rear windscreen and another car damaged.

Yes it's a bit frisky out there. Abandoned trip to Anglesey this morning with the bike, tomorrow looks more benign.

best of luck to you. have a glass of water when you get there?

I wish I had seen your post before I left.Because I have had a funny turn.Ok I got a full check up,weoght,height,blood pressure,ecg and finally three tubes of blood.I then left straight away.I walked through to a Costa one latte and on the bus an aero peppermint choc bar.I then called in to a shop for some face cloths,I have been given a special body wash to use each day before the operation.So I am waiting then it happened,I felt faint,it was like pressure dropped I felt sick and thought I was going down and out I knelt down,a member of staff saw me got me a stool and a bottle of water,five mins or more everytime I tried to lift my head it spun and I felt sick and dizzy.Finally I left but it's all up hill,and twice I stopped and rested against a garden wall,I am still not right two hours l later I feel light headed,my next task is a shower using the body wash,it's going to be interesting.I don't feel in the grove at all.

Chocolate that has fallen on the floor is fine, unless the dog gets there first.

I've got the rest of the afternoon off.
