No idea where this should go- starts off a bit miserable. Had to have Pip the Pooch put to sleep yesterday due to liver cancer, he was obviously in pain and it would have been cruel to keep him going any longer. Buried him this morning. My eyes are just about dry by now, but the house seems very quiet and strange. Now I've just had a call about a collie pup needing a home rather desperately, so a drive down the Conwy valley tomorrow to pick him up from Snowdonia Animal Rescue. S That's a sad story, Steve. Did he at least make a good age? Let's hope that the 'new recruit' brings a lot of cheer with him.
Afraid not, only about eight. But he brought a lot of cheer with him for the five years he ate at my expense. And a lot of fun for the rest of the village, either bringing him back or taking him in for a feed or just helping to find him. He could escape from Strangeways, that dog! Had good recall though.

...which reminds me, has anyone seen Adrian Sadlier lately?
Sorry to hear that, Steve, if only we were closer I'd park you down with a pint and offer you a shoulder.

On November 5th, I placed an order for a Fed 3 Camera with Eveready Leather Case, through an online dealer of Vintage German Contax II and III along with Former Soviet Union Cameras. My camera arrived, but it wasn't the one I ordered. Instead, I received a 1963 Zorki 4 with the Jupiter-8 50mm f2 chrome lens and I immediately send an email on Friday, explaining the situation. Vlad, the camera dealer, from Ukraine had got back to me, this afternoon and explained that the Fed 3 that I had ordered wasn't functioning properly, so he took the liberty of upgrading me to a fully serviced and CLA'd Zorki 4 and as a gesture of goodwill he paid the $69 USD difference.  |

I found a lens yesterday, that I've been looking for for years - a standard lens for my Yashica Pentamatic. It comes attached to a non working camera. Yashica Pentamatic Attachment Deleted |

Unfortunatelt Sunak looks like he is going to use it to test the water re reversing devolution. The RTBC is that if his attempts at reversing the economic decline under his stewardship are anything to go by, he's got a greater chance of learning how to fill a petrol tank and pay for it than reversing anything significant. But yeah, could go either way, and tactically it's a good choice of bill to challenge as it doubles down on the right wing unionist sentiment. |

Pleasant surprise - a courier* with my regular local shop has just delivered a bottle of Crabbie's Green Ginger Wine that I had asked after, and then refused payment for it.  I am particularly pleased, as I will be able to disguise the taste of the Laphroiag 16 I have in the cabinet and needs drinking up before it gets an older. Selling something 16 years old - they should be ashamed of themselves! *Kid from the village with a bike. |

Ha! Gotcha! Actually I keep a bottle of Johnny Walker Red for winter hot toddies - a slug of Crabbies, at least twice as much JW as Crabbies, honey, cinnamon, grated nutmeg and a squeeze of lemon. Top up with just enough hot water to fill the small remaining space at the top of a large glass toothmug, and you have an elixir that will both cure and protect against just about all winter ailments - like bouts of sobriety! |

Very happy that Brian May has been made a Knight of the British Empire (apart from the British Empire bit obviously). However, given his band, there is a part of me which thinks, could they not have made him a Dame?

However, given his band, there is a part of me which thinks, could they not have made him a Dame? I'm waiting for Wikipedia to get his name and title right. He is Dr Sir Brian May, he has a PhD in Astrophysics. |

Reason to be cheerful? Reaching 2023. All the "experts" seem to be predicting recession doom and gloom for the coming year, but I've a feeling it will be a banner year for travel, growth, learning, and doing. Looking forward to it.
