Tuesday 2 June - On Nats Computer, telescopic lens, donna swimming

Went on Nat's PC this am to upload some photo's but there seems to be a problem with Pixel Pipes, uploads most then fails. gave up after a number of attempts when I realised that I was ending up with numerous duplicates on all the sites it posts too. Not in the mood to sort out why it's happening, a problem for another day.

From China with Love... my telescopic lens, for the N82, arrived in the Post from Hong Kong this morning. Spent the rest of the morning taking random pictures of faraway things to see how well it works. Seems OK, the trick appears to be in guessing the best focus for the lens before you attach it to plastic frame on the camera. Do you want as sharp an image as you can get when it's to you eye or is slightly blurry better. Time and practice will tell though I doubt the preceding lines will ever truly make sense.

My cheeky children came home from school and immediately rang Donna and told her that Sion, Donna's daughter, had told them that she (Donna)had filled the swimming pool and that they could come round for a swim any time they wanted too. Is this true, they asked, and can we come round now. I asked if I was invited too and eventually we decided we were all calling round to her place.

We had a great afternoon, pool was Ice cold,which I love, kids spent all afternoon in it, I did 10Min's the got out and spent the rest of the afternoon chatting to Donna's Dad. John certainly is one sprightly, if rather deaf, 79 yr old as he climbed a ladder to recover Josh's crossbow bolt from the roof!

We decided to go to the chip shop for tea so Deb and Donna went off and got them. Dona meat and chips for Nat and me, chips pies sausages and sundry for everyone else.

Left for home around 8pm, that's it for today.
