Testing for colour. The new cheap camera has arrived and once I had bought a memory card, the whole thing was set up. The sunflower looks good as does the coloured three items on the Aga. Now all I want is the sun which has been hiding away the last few days.
We went to Honest John for cake and tea in the end on Sunday, two had delicious puddings rather than cake. As my going out has been somewhat limited the last year the interior of the restaurant was a pleasant sophisticated surprise. Guess what, it was the gutted remains of a bank, The National Westminster to be precise. The world changes, is that bank even going now I wonder?
Tom Stephenson is worrying about the terrible choice of our voting, well as the tories reshuffle the boundaries of our counties - how DARE they - can we not see a little uprising please?
Luckily the false comfort of selling one's house for exorbitant prices thereby pushing out the young is beginning to meet resistance in Cornwall, where the small seaside cottages bought up by wealthy Londoners is experiencing the hostility of the locals. The first restraint has come into existence, now 'new built' can no longer be bought as second homes, they have to be permanently lived in, which was the prime hope for all homes - wasn't it? Hopefully greed will be fought with commonsense.
And, isn't the stock market going to fall if we all play around with bitcoins, or Monopoly money, which doesn't exist after all?
A fake bulletin by Walmart (?) saying that they now accepted Bitcoin caused a temporary rise and sharp fall in it yesterday. Some people made a lot of money from the ones who bought it and some lost a lot. Unregulated Wild West gold rush. Are they re-shuffling county borders now? How dare they.
ReplyDeleteRe an uprising, they have already made plans to curb the right to peaceful protest.
Delete'They' though are small in number, whereas the population is large, eventually 'they' will be voted out as they sink into an immoral vacuum of greed and licentiousness. Feel quite Victorian having written that. And wasn't that the time when reforms started to make themselves felt, culminating in the socialists of the early 20th centuries?
ReplyDeleteor century as they is only one.
DeleteThose colors are so vibrant so the new camera is doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteYes just been for a walk by the canal and took photos of the yellow flowers there, yellow always seems to stand out Ellen. Funnily enough it has become a favourite colour.
DeletePleased your camera has arrived. It certainly 'does' colour well. It made me nostalgic for my Aga.
ReplyDeleteThere are problems with Agas though Pat, only two temperatures, hot and not so hot, I miss the regulator of gas or electricity.
ReplyDeleteIf that's the results you can get from a cheap camera then best stick with it, super results.
ReplyDeleteThough there was a slight touch up on my photo programme, but I am quite pleased about it.
ReplyDeleteYour camera seems excellent. That's all I've got for all the photos on my blog [you can tell if I've used Mr GBT's as the quality is vastly superior with his fancy pants one]. They take really good snaps of things like flowers as you've already discovered. Arilx
ReplyDeleteYes Aril I have come to the stage in my life when I realise I shall never master a complicated camera, and am pleased with the one I have got.
