Sounds like a good idea, but warm clothes will need to be the order of the day.

I was actually tempted to put one in another thread a little while ago, but I spent the morning at the ADMA exhibition, and I'm almost out of badwill. :)

Well, he's learning from the master ... :)

So much for being out of badwill.

And I recieved by snailmail today an invitation to renew one of my domains. How nice of these kind people, offering to permit me to renew my domain registration for about $50/year through them, when I can do it through somebody I know and trust for just $12 or $13/year.

Do they think I'm stupid? I'm wanting to send this thing back to them, apparently unopened, but with a suitable abrasive comment inserted.

cab ??

Public transport?

Me ????????


How uncivilised. :)


Actually, I don't know that I'll be going, but I may be required at a recording studio for some rehearsals that evening as well, and/but if I'm in town, my car is usually somewhere close at hand.

Last friday of the month is not good for me - http://www.criticalmass.org.au/sydney
But you could always wander thru Hyde park about 6pm and see a bunch of cyclists.

No, he's the guy with the cracked bump :lol: and he's always to show it off :lol:

Yes, it's cold here too! I don't know how cold outa there, in the city or near OH, the temp is more lower.

You can't just pulling the camera out and holding it long coz your hand both frozen, not interested though.

Good time to stay indoor with a nice bottle of red or just with few sips of Remy Martin XO Cognac.

The best time to get out and do night shooting is Sept thru Dec or January.
