Have YOU Buried Your Cheese?


Should have been on Christmas Day but snow on New Year's Day is fine enough. There wasn't really enough to make anything but it did at least look good and The New Camera was able to cope with the high contrast. I still have not taken it off auto apart from a few sterile test pictures but point-and-shoot is far better than with the old camera and crucially the start-up time and the delay between the pressing of the shutter button and the actual taking of the photograph is almost zero. It also makes a satisfying click, the result of a physical operation rather than some electronic simulacrum in a program somewhere. Very happy here in the wilderness.

Happy also about the new choice of Doctor Who. I heard the name while driving and my reaction was as for almost everyone else but I do recognise him, primarily from Ruby in the Smoke and he seems to have something undefinable which bodes well for the mysterious Mr Smith.
