Day off today. Nice and sunny but I was not photographing, just sorting
out some of my errands. Went to Seawhites for wire etc for art. Also
went to look at the fastpack at parkcameras, saving £20 by buying from
amazon though. Funny shop, not as big as I expected, very full carpark.
Sent off the ebay items in Burgess Hill and had a wander. Had forgotten
how many charity shops there are there. Not a town blossoming with
superb retail opportunities. Had a KFC and home. Off to the dental
hygienist this afternoon.

I am trying out selling on ebay again. Last time it was pretty annoying,
with lots of questions from people who never bid. This time seems a bit
more civilised. Selling off some of the Thorens and photo accessories
that I no longer use. It feels good to pass on some of the stuff that
really should be in use, rather than sitting in a cupboard, and the cash
will come in handy.

Finally made it to Abbots Wood today. Was not looking too promising for
a while, but did manage to get a couple of nice shots. Also managed to
get lostish and have also paid for parking with the mobile for the first
time. Have added a couple of shots to picasa.
On a similar note, I did some video of the autumn leaves on the drive to
work. Have edited them into a little movie to show mum. Not massively
HQ, but it might be interesting for her.

I am having porridge for breakfast at the moment. Not sure the instant
sort is that ‘filling’, certainly not lasting till lunch today!

Where would all this go? It is possible I might end up with two version
of this pic.

Even mum is telling me how good the D90 is. As soon as I win the big one
on Premium Bonds, my order will be going in!

It ain’t the Adirondacks, but today was a lovely blue sky and the oaks and beeches have peaked. Gorgeous. Had hoped to get to the wood and church that Mum and I went to a few years ago. I know roughly where it is, behind Shere, but I did not manage to find it. Did have a nice wander around the Silent Pool.

Annual bonfire night for us on Saturday. Rained all day, but luckily
cleared a bit for the evening. We are running out of solid wood, so
not too long lived a fire. Had some nice quiet fireworks, as well as
some noisy rockets brought down by R (with A & S). Nice evening, good
food as usual!

Yesterday I grabbed the camera to take some photos of the little beech
copse on the A24 with the sun streaming in. That went ok, and then I
discovered that it had snowed around Dorking and Walton on the Hill!
Took another couple of pics before heading in to work.
