The Lumix has landed

After a month of waiting I finally found a company that had a Lumix LX3 in stock. I ordered it on Friday and it arrived this morning. It has some great features including 24mm (35mm equivalent) wide angle lens and max aperture of f2.0! The manual is going to take a good read but at first glance the features are endless. No doubt you will be seeing some pictures here later as we are off for a walk with Abida and Connie. Perhaps I should sign up for a Flickr account, and intergrate into the Blog. Here is a picture of the beast.

Friday 13th good day for mussels

mussels-meal

Throwing caution to the wind I decided to cook mussels on Friday 13th, unlucky for some. I’ll let you know tomorrow if I survived.

We survived and I thrashed Helen and Angie at Mario Sonic Olympics.

Office live website

The new website url is ….. wait for it …… http://codsfoot.co.uk not much to show but if you want to buy a book by Neil Baldwin be my guest. I have an Amazon seller account and if I sell enough books they pay me commision.

More snow stuff

icicles

My brother lives up North where they have real weather. He was snowed in all last week and look at the icicles that he has on the side of his house. Proper weather!

More snow

office-window

My window at work, it’s a crap picture but I decide what goes up and what does not. Only a handful of people made it to work today. Off to Eastbridge later hopefully if the conditions allow. A41 is apparently shut between Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead, so fingers crossed.

No work at the dump

It is very cold this morning. The roads around the estate are very icy, but when you get to the main roads they are generally clear. It was a bit tricky slowing down to get off the A41. Picture shows there is no work going on at the Aston Clinton dump.

Wildlife photographer of the year

stuffed-badger

It’s at the Natural History Museum in Tring until 8 March. The photo’s are as good as ever. A sign of the times though could not find one taken using traditional film. The winner Steve Winter was using a Rebel XT not the most up to date camera goes to prove you don’t have to have the latest equipment.

The badger is part of the new revamped exhibition.

This one is for Nada

thai-starter

Nada could not understand the point of a blog, like most things on the internet there is no point. We are at the Royal Siam in Aston Clinton the steamed prawns are recommended.
