I’ve got it! The shop phoned at midday to say my camera had arrived, just before they shut for siesta. So as soon as they opened at 5 pm I was there, clutching my credit card, ready to pay the balance. I’d had dreams of taking photos on my way back to the car park, but of course it came with a flat battery. As soon as I got home,…
Well, after months of dithering I’ve finally taken the plunge and ordered my new camera. I’m getting a Pentax K10D, with two lenses, and it should be here by the weekend.

And my page of Carnival photos are finally up at…
I had the most surreal dream last night. Two of my friends were doing a TV program, “Aunties in their Panties”. (You have to say it with a northern accent so it rhymes.)
