    • Good morning all...we have the sunshine today.
      Domestics, gardening and a trip to the doctors surgery this evening.

      Snoop, I have an app on my phone called....free prints.
      You can have 45 pics of your choice developed each month, you just pay for delivery.
      I get lots of pics of my grandkids, lovely to look back on.

      Not a lot else...so have a good day all.

      And when your back stops aching,
      And your hands begin to harden.
      You will find yourself a partner,
      In the glory of the garden.

Most of our shots are landscapes and pets. And I've even stopped taking those. Perhaps I should get a proper camera out rather than just using my phone.
        Snoop Puss, I'm not sure that a proper camera encouraged me to take more photos. In my younger days I imagined that I could take great photos🤣🤣🤣🤣. I bought myself a Nikon SLR camera and slowly accumulated assorted lenses. I did take some lovely landscapes but hoiking a camera bag around and then having to mess about and change lenses was a pain and it wasn't ideal to take to parties, etc.

        Years later when digital cameras came out I bought one, and as they got better and higher resolution, about 20 years ago Mr GF bought us a very small Sony, pocket size. I took most of the photos that I'm now finding with that. It went everywhere and stood up to all kinds of abuse.

        Now I just use my phone, at least it is always to hand and is decent resolution.

        • I use my iPhone for taking photos like GF it’s something that I always have with me. I still have my digital camera but it’s way out of date compared to my phones resolution.

            I seemed to have a real talent for cutting heads off.

              A bit grey here and cool. It doesn't feel much like May at the moment. Need to go food shopping today and other errands.

              • Morning all.

                I'm not very good at taking photos with my phone. Mr Snoop takes good pictures with his and we have the same camera, so I can't blame the tool, just myself. I used to be really into photography and we had a darkroom and loads of equipment. Just had a nice chat about it with Mr Snoop and I might try my hand at macro photography when I've got more time. Thanks for the inspiration.

                About to go rushing out to meet a man with a machine, this weird strimmer. It's all go in the valley this morning. The JCB man is here doing work for M in his absence. I've got a couple of jobs he could do for me as well if he has time. If I had all the money in the world, I'd probably buy myself a bobcat!

                Have a great day everyone.

                          • Good afternoon.

                            Instead of a drawer or cupboard I decided to start on a bathroom blitz seeing as I'd already sorted out and cleaned the bathroom cabinet a couple of days ago. Although I'm pleased with what I've done so far, it all shows me what an awful cleaner I am generally. I have no excuse, for a few years in my school holidays many eons ago I worked as a waitress/chambermaid/general factotum in a 15 bedroom guest house in the Isle of Man. These days, although I do like to see things looking clean and shiny, it rarely seems worth the effort.

                            When I got totally sick of cleaning, which didn't take long, I took a boot load of stuff to the hospice warehouse They had been in the car for a week. I then, obviously, had to have a wander around their adjoining shop. The only things that I came home with were a couple of hardback books, both of which look interesting.
