Partial success today on the shopping front......

I did manage to find a new checked shirt but when I went to look for a pair of jeans, the store was so busy that there was a queue to get into the changing rooms.......
At least my new boots were pretty comfortable  :-)
BTW- there are easier (and better) ways to get a screenshot.

So I went and bought the ugly boots

well............ some people think that they are ugly, I tend to think that they are an acquired taste  :-)

A very pleasant Saturday

was spent in the city and hanging out at home. I went for a walk with my camera and have been processing a few photos to get into the hang of it all. After almost 20 years I also had to take one of my favourite old lenses to the shop for maintenance. My 50/1.4 has a little oil on the aperture blades which means that it will not stop down properly at the moment of exposure and it is not really useable in this state. Fingers crossed that it will be back as good as new in a couple of weeks' time.

What a cool party!

Happy Birthday Jacqueline. I'm sure that you have had a great day and I hope that you remember your party for many years to come. Please ask Dad to sort out the computer so that we can have a skype on the weekend.....   :-)

Well, Goodie survived his operation

and things in Singapore seem to be looking up. He did manage to get a nice little sunburn whilst out watching Kai's football match though  :-)
My MacLife is coming along. I have managed to migrate most of my stuff to the new system and it looks like we are ok. I'm looking forward to seeing what a larger, faster system can do when it comes to processing photos etc.

Well, I drank the Kool-Aid

and it doesn't taste too bad! I came home from town today with a new iMac and so far we understand each other pretty well   :-)


As soon as I work out how to share a photo, I will do so
