Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[tikay]

Many thanks to ManuelsMum for the advice on Windows movie maker.

I can now convert to movie and post all pics in one post.

A selection of the best ones from the last few days:

Terrific stuff, Geo, that is really good. Love the accompanying music, too, that Kate Bush track fits a treat, & is in my top 100 tuney things.

Couldn't wait til tomorrow. So went on a nature walk this morning! Felt like 10 miles, it was probably 2ish considering the depth of the snow.. like all first time explorers i didn't charge my camera and the battery died half way round. fml. Saw Robins and Blue tits and a few random ones. Certainly healthier than laying on the couch, watching soccer Am and letting the missus bring me bacon sarnies. Gonna try putting a few pics into a vid and will post. Was good fun. felt like i was in Narnia, was climbing trees, running strolling through woods and all sorts, like being a kid again.

Yes. Larger card. Argos has bogof Sandisk 4gb cards on offer, get those.

AA batteries you can get anywhere. Buy a good supply of high powered ones or get some 2000ma or above (Higer numbers are better) rechargeables.

That link works for me Tony and you may possibly need it to get the half-price deal.

Argos were also doing a cut price offer on the memory card if bought with the camera. Another deal offers reduced price on camera bag for the camera as it is not supplied.

I bought an 8gb card which is probably far more than I actually need but only cost £14

Good man, I've been doing that since a bit of a stay in hospital I've made myself up the activity that isn't based on lifting pint glasses.

Walking daily, with a wee dog to remind me & annoy me into it, and this spring summer I'll be back into the overnighters, wild camping with no tent, just a tarp, a kip mat & a sleeping bag - although the new fashion seems to be for hammock camping, I think the wee mutt would object. Getting into that has started me on the bushcraft (Ray Mears style, not Bear Grylls) and stickmaking, I've made my hiking staff, and am cutting better sticks to work on next winter. As you said, it's like being a kid again, but II can buy myself the cool knives, not be stuck with the little swiss army knife

Hardcore! I certainly wouldn't fancy that method of camping in this weather. I have a lot of camping and fishing equipment. Love fishing and my missus is a fan so we do a fair bit of that in the summer. She despises camping though, so i hardly use any of it. Although the first time we went it was one of the worst storms I have seen in the UK! Its a lot more fun with a few of you on the beers etc. Never been by myself tbh. Might be something to try one day. Love hammocks as well. Although the only time i have been in them is when I am in the sun with a cocktail in my hand.
