Oh, a question for the mundaners on this side of the pond...

Is it an ice cream soda or an ice cream float?

I know both terms refer to more or less the same thing, but given I've not had / bought one in 40 years (bleurgh, far too much sugar!) I'm not sure which is the right one for UK usage or whether they're interchangeable.

Good question! I'd probably use float as those are the recipes that I've used. They both have that slightly exotic diner connotation though.

It shoots the entire width of the film, instead of going just to the sprocket holes?

Yes! It's called a Sprocket Rocket, and is cheap and nasty in camera terms, but I can't justify the Leica equivalent and love the format. This one was shot with Iso400 film in bright sunshine and I asked for a little push in developing. The aperture and shutter settings are very limited, basically it seems built for Californian sun.

*hugs*

Thank you. I've just made jelly for when she gets back from school.

Printers can be expensive to use what with paper and ink

I have a load of paper but need a mortgage to get ink for my current Epson.

 

[Roseland triker]

Don't think I've printed anything in years.

Wet and windy and a bit cold.
I really need to get a dentist to at least make my wonky tooth safe in the short term. I fear it may be an extraction but that probably means going to Oban hospital which has a specialist unit.

Just knock it out....

On a plus note vouge magazine have apologised to the pub in vouge saying they can keep the association with the village name. 🤪

I would like to purchase a new mouse. Yes, even Wols sometimes have to buy mice instead of hunting in the long grass. I like the (sound of) the Logitech Silent mouse.

I have been warned in the past about wireless mice that "eat" batteries. The description of the above product says that the battery will last up to eighteen months. What is your experience of wireless mice?

I use wireless mouse as I’m left handed and wife right handed. Easy to to move to left or right depending on user. It uses a AA battery and certainly lasts long enough between charges.

Also, I should add that I'm in the part of the story set in 1989.

Float.
