We had an
unexpected phone call yesterday. It came
from the company supplying our new scooters.
They wanted to know if it was acceptable to deliver them this morning. Seeing as we were not expecting them to
arrive for a couple of weeks yet, of course we said yes. After we had signed for them we set off down
into town to give them a run out and see how they were. We're both very happy with them. Mine has a range of 16 miles and a top speed
of 8MPH. Because of this it has to have
a road fund licence on display. There is
no charge for it so it seems daft but when you realize that should be used on
the road, you see the reason.
The quick
trip into town was OK and we might have been willing to go a bit further but
the high wind made it very cold riding around.
We didn't actually do much in town apart from Jan going to Specsavers
and me going into Smudges for AP and then to Willy White for a pint and an all
day brunch. I have to watch my speed though cos my scooter
is a lot faster than Jan's.
Glancing through
AP I saw an Olympus OM-D camera. I do
like Olympus gear but it is oh so pricey!
An OM-DE-M5 micro four thirds mount, 12-50mm lens, a 100-300 lens and two BLN-1 batteries comes out
at £1693; and that is without the normal UV filters I usually have fitted. So it looks like it's a Sony A77 still, for
cost alone, plus I already have the lenses for it. In fact digitaldepot have them for £749 body
only - a saving of £240 on the warehouse express price. I've just phoned digitalexpress and the 77s
are genuine UK imports and not these grey imports that you hear about when
folks try to get them serviced or warranty repairs done. I think I know where I shall be getting mine
from now.
Today's
photo then ... oh yes, this one ...
a reflection off a road sign in Brum on
Sunday.
And funny
time ...
A senior citizen said to his eighty-year
old buddy:
'So I hear you're getting married?'
'Yep!'
'Do I know her?'
'Nope!'
'This woman, is she good looking?'
'Not really.'
'Is she a good cook?'
'Naw, she can't cook too well.'
'Does she have lots of money?'
'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.'
'Well, then, is she good in bed?'
'I don't know.'
'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?'
'Because she can still drive!'
'So I hear you're getting married?'
'Yep!'
'Do I know her?'
'Nope!'
'This woman, is she good looking?'
'Not really.'
'Is she a good cook?'
'Naw, she can't cook too well.'
'Does she have lots of money?'
'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.'
