Comings & Goings

Spotted these guys growing on the side of the road, while taking the 4-legged houseguest for her last walk before handing her back to L-SP's sister, whose home has returned to animal-friendly mode. Only had my phone on me, but as L-SP says - the best camera you can have, is the one you have with you

We had our canine houseguest for 6 weeks... it didn't feel like that long, except for some times - usually when she was being a little annoying &, especially, at 6am every day, when I had to hand-feed her a tablet she was quite adept at seeming to swallow, before letting it drop out of her mouth... sometimes I didn't discover that until hours later. My record was 4 attempts... eventually learning to keep my hand under & around her mouth for about 30 seconds, to be sure it had gone down

My PC is home at last, having had the equivalent of a heart transplant & being kept for observation. A new power supply is expected to solve the recurrent BSODs that 'hospitalised' it in early December, under threat of, at best, replacement with a Mac, at worst, reprogramming with a 12 pound sledgehammer. So this may be the last entry done on the borrowed laptop with the dodgy space bar which has played havoc with my grammarphilia... or phobia. I'll be spending the rest of this morning, probably, re-plugging & re-installing, then downloading the sizeable backlog of photos from my 2 main cameras... stand by for photospam - even more than usual. On the plus side, it means I won't rant about pandemic politics for a little while, despite the Don's daily attempts to appear more stupid than he did yesterday

My PC is back... & with it, an upgraded version of Photoshop

This was taken today, while having a takeaway breakfast & trying to socially isolate from various dogwalkers, joggers, promenaders & other stir-crazy outpatients...

Now all I have to do is upgrade my 500px account to upload more photos...
