Hi folks, just to let you know I'm still alive and biting Following several more pals and chums falling off their perch and/or kicking the bucket, plus my own bout of illness that ended up with a week's stay in hospital, I'm now making up for lost time with my camera.... I swapped the 18mm-55mm kit lens plus the 40mm macro for a new 85mm macro with vibration reduction ('tis absolutely wonderful!), the 18-55 lens had that stoooopid hooj button that had to be pressed to unlock the lens (PITB) and the 40mm macro was hopeless without a tripod and not much better with one... So, I'll be posting photos in the various threads as I get time, I'm getting ready for a local(ish) air-display this weekend (Headcorn Battle of Britain Display), plus a new small 'Photo Appreciation & Learning Society' (PALS),. a 'split-off' group from my photo-club following some internal politics ending up in a slanging-match - Fortunately that went off while I was in hospital otherwise I might well have lost my temper with 'em.... Other than that I'm feeling quite hale and hearty, if not quite bright-eyed and fluffy-tailed so I'm hoping to be here regularly now

Sounds idyllic Clicker Meanwhile, back to the topic:- Just a few miles downriver from me is the site of the old Woolwich Arsenal, built centuries ago and the origin of the 'Arsenal' football team, nicknamed 'The Gunners'. This was taken waaaay back in 2013, whilst meandering around the site. I don't know why it's been fenced in, I suspect it was going through 'one of them phases' and threatening to run over visitors toes, if they tried to climb on it..... -
Most mornings (and afternoons) I'm listening to 'Planet Rock' online (also on DAB radio), Sunday mornings has 'The Hairy Rock-show' with The Hairy Bikers (excellent music+recipes+god raconteurs), then followed by Bernard Docherty's 'Blues-Hour'.

And now for something completely different - Variation on AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck' theme.......

True but Larkin Poe are a lot nicer to look at.......

I first heard these 2 lasses while listening to my favouritest radio-station (Planet Rock online & DAB), a couple o' years ago - I've been 'addicted' to 'em ever since......

Calendar Challenge 2018 - General Discussion

This sounds a great idea, I've been wunderin' about a theme as there's not a lot to photograph where I am (I'm not really into street/people photography), so I'm toying with the idea of 'Pics From My Block' for photos of birds, trees, sunsets/clouds/planes etc; whatever catches my eye at the time Roll on 2018 -
Thank you Clicker and you're right, I've 45 years of great memories with him and his 'family' (He never made friends, he created a family). (Un)Luckily, most of the photos aren't fit for public consumption - What made it worse is that the rest of the 'family has either moved to t'other corners of the country, or joined him. Still, we're now on our way to warmer days (supposedly), so I'll be out more with my camera yaaayyyy!

It was a year+2 days ago that my closest friend passed away, after 45+ years, there's still a huge hole in my life and Christmas just isn't the same now..... RIP Dave...... (Taken October 2014) I've no kids and no family left, so I don't bother with Christmas - Winter-Solstice is another matter though

My 'Step-dog' Guinness (RIP), just after I'd opened the front-door to let her in from her morning ablutions...... Yep, it's my half of the bed....... (Taken in 2008) -
I should take offence at that, seeing as I was whelped on the Yorkshire Dales (Settle), but it's too hilarious
