Cameras ahoy !!

Well, jury service is ongoing and still interesting - even if it means a lot of sitting around waiting for things to happen.

I'm off on holiday in a few weeks, so I decided to get a new lens for my lovely Nikon D40x. I was planning on a 18-135mm lens for general use, but settled on a 10-200mm lens so I don't have to carry several lenses.

I ordered on Sunday and t was delivered today !!

Bigger than the 18-55mm lens I got with my D40x, it looks very impressive and I'm looking forward to trying it out !!

Now I have to get a new, larger polariser filter and possible a new case to carry it all around in.

Now I remember why I delayed getting a new lens !!


Until next time...

New World...

So we've had our election and have ended up with the Tories as the main political party [under David Cameron], sharing power with the Liberal Democrats [under Nick Clegg].

I hope they give this country the change it so desperately needs, even though the high may be high.

In other news, my limited edition of Shadowrun v4 arrived - something I didn't expect, as the company is undergoing serious problems and is not expected to survive.

I'm doing jury service, which is something I've always wanted to do [as a service to the country] and is turning out to be an interesting experience.

The weather is flipping between bright and sunny, and grey and rainy, almost on a daily basis...
...Which proves that the expected English summer is finally here.

I've made some progress with my websites, most of which are finally up-and-running.

Roll on June, and a longed for holiday.

Until next time,
Peter
