Good luck and don't get lost or follow signs 🙂

Initially, I will use H7 to access V10, then back down V10 to H8.
I know my H's & V's you know!

Am I alone in thinking today has felt like an early Sunday? And that there's a row of 3 more to come?

I thought it was Saturday .

I just asked Mrs Tenkaykev if she was doing parkrun this morning, well it certainly feels like a Saturday 🤔

Morning .
The peep on the radio said that it was Friday today .
The sky here is a light grey with tinges of blue and pink .
One of the Nikon cameras developed a problem it wouldn't recognize the flash card . It ea the original problem with it . I discovered that one of the pins inside the camera body is lower than the rest . It must have been pushed down at some time . I will try to pull it back up with a pair of very thin pliers. It's very narrow and dark in there .

Today is not for work (it's for pleasure, if you can call a trip to MK a pleasure!) but my driving instructions to one destination there is 'At the 13th roundabout, turn left'.
Luckily, the truck is semi-automatic so in can use my left toes after I run out of fingers..

Is it “ compact flash “? My Nikon has a CF card, I’ve always thought the array of pins to be a sub optimal design.

What I used to do if I wasn't sure which roundabout to turn off at was to whiz round a couple of times to see what the options were . Those were the days when I had a mini .

First cuppa went down well

I think it is ! it is the old big version . It is deep down inside with highly polished wall so when you shine a torch in there it's . Arrrgh!
I think there are 2 rows of 25 pins.
It is going to have to be planned very carefully . My brother told me to earth myself , the pliers and the camera to prevent a static discharge. I will need to find my head magnifying thingy . Not that I need to make my head look any bigger !
Oh ! And lots of crossed fingers .
The camera has previously taken some good pictures . I bought it cheap with a fault and thought I had fixed it . It was a cheap way of getting a battery, charger and strap plus a camera if I could fix it . I haven't given up yet .

Another lovely day with sunshine and little wind so out at 0630 for a trike spin.
Strange thuggish looking character wandering about a boggy area used by nesting birds. No camera gear visible but carrying a bag. Looking for eggs?
Got a first yesterday which was a tourist complaining about tourists. He had been fishing in a loch near the road when a car pulled up and parked in a passing place. Occupants got out and wandered down to the loch and started throwing stones into the water beside him.
I need to keep reminding myself. This is not Sunday.

I hadn't noticed the email to say the time had been changed so logged into my Teams meeting 15 minutes early and was wondering why I was talking to myself
