I have just had an ice cream - one of the Lidl versions of a Magnum.

good luck. thank you for asking. Wifey is fine. I developed one of my usual multiday migraines. made the mistake of working outside for 2 hrs last night at my 2nd job & developed the most common head cold symptoms. had a horrible nite w/ little sleep & this morning afters a hot shower, trying to rid my head of congestion, by blowing my nose too much, developed one of my usual severe nosebleeds. it took an hour to stop & was quite messy. called the dentist & canceled until August. still have a terrible migraine, which I often have. still waiting for PCR covid test results

aside from that, the cat just threw up & we now have to wash his bedding

aside from that we're doing great

That sounds like a rubbish day. I hope tomorrow is better.

I'm not sure the standard engineer's solution of " if it moves and it shouldn't, then duck tape, if it doesn't move and it should, then WD40" is applicable here...

I'm more likely to think the adhesive wasn't mixed correctly.

Duck tape might have stayed put for longer. I’m hoping that it was just drying of one bit of glue… I don’t want any more bits of braces to fall out of her mouth.

Tartiflette for supper, and roast butternut squash on the side.

I really enjoyed tonight's twenty-five mile ride despite being caught out in a torrential downpour and getting completely drookit. I definitely feel a bit of fitness returning.

My shoes seemed to contain half a gallon of water. Now stuffed with newspaper and left to dry out. I felt the need to put the heating on and am contemplating a glass of whiskey.

It’s surprising, the number of people that do ask if I can get them free tickets.

Could you get them a few for the NRM, detailing how much trouble you went through to get them?

Fingers crossed it gets fixed PDQ

Duct tape leaves an odd taste in the mouth, and doesn't stick too well to teeth/gums.

It's either going to be 99p or some stupidly unrealistic several hundred squid...

Dunno much about Nikon kit tbf, but likely that would be worth it for the glass alone...

I'm gonna run a film through it and see what the results are like. No marks on either lens.
A bit of a clean would work wonders.

Fingers crossed. In terms of tech, it's a generation older than my EOS 5, but I've a couple of Prakticas that are contemporary. No auto film advance though on those, as they're much more basic. And 2.5 fps isn't too shabby on the motor drive either - most DSLRs sit around 3 to 5 fps.

If the lenses are good and the metering isn't screwy, looks like you've got yourself a nice piece of kit.
