It's been rather a long time since my words have graced this little known about space but not without good reason. firstly I now have a full time job in which I'm working shifts, meaning a vast amount more of my time is occupied than before and secondly because while I was out of the house - at work, we were burgled! This meant that 1 I had no camera to take pictures to then post and 2 I had no laptop on which to edit those pictures and to post them on to this little corner of the internet. thanks to the fortune of insurance companies (not something I ever pictured myself saying in a non sarcastic way until recently) the second of these problems has been resolved in the form of a shiny new laptop with which I am tapping away my musings. The camera - and more precisely the lens are going to take a little more time to reach me. given that i will be upgrading price is everything and as a result location is everything. I am unable to get my desired model of canon camera including lens and dedicated flash gun at a price that I can afford locally. fortunately the older the Currer family gets the longer and wider our stretch becomes and my brother is making a timely visit to the states where he will purchase the lens and flash gun at a far more competitive rate than anyone in England is able to provide, given exchange rates. meanwhile my other brother happens to know someone who can get hold of the body at a very reasonable price and hopefully all of the parts will end up in my house in Bristol sometime mid January. a long wait but one worth holding out for. but fear not I hope to get the body and borrow my brothers kit lens fairly soon so that I can snap away on our holiday in Tenerife in mid December.
much, much more to come ...
