Everythings playing up.& a tale of two markets




Had a long lie today as it was kind of wet and miserable outside, although it is now fair and brightening up.
Managed a bit of a walk and even broke sweat which is unusual for me these days.
Photogenix Grant phoned so I headed off down to Bonnyrigg round a somewhat long route due to two roads being closed off , one due to subsidance , now many months so it looks like the council have no money to put it right, and the other due to resurfacing. Again a bit of a nonsense when they resurface roads away out in the country but leave those in the town centres full of potholes - or is it so that the utilities can go mad and dig up wherever they wish.
Grant was in good form so I managed to get all the photos on the cameras onto disc and printed off a few - I will need, some time, to get them onto Photobucket or Flicker or something like that so folks can have a wee look if they wish.
The photos, just to show the difference - one being Bonnyrigg market this miserable morning, and the other of the big open market in Antwerp last Saturday - no prices for guessing which is which , but if you put your answers on a £5 note and send it to me I will pick a winner !!!
The computer is running so slow, according to Testmy.net at 4.26 when AOL claim that I have 8.0 with an upload at 0.27 but I do not know what that means.
The wee camera has a slight fault in so much that there is now a slight shadow on all the pictures, it is not the lens, so it must be inside somewhere. Update , popped into the camera shop in Morningside who want £65 to open it up and clean the insides which obviously have picked up a speck of dirt ( be prepared for a few smudged photos).
Home and Mrs. B. was just in the process of receiving the new suite, so perhaps we might be able to use the livingroom at long last - it is nice and comfy.

Will need to switch off this machine and see what it is doing as it looks hung up on something so i cannot get any more pictures into the system at the moment.
