winter shenanigans

Hello dear readers (of which there are now a great many, apparently – WordPress tells me that I have over 1200 followers and subscribers – nice!) I hope you’re all well and happy in your lives in whatever corner of the globe you call home. So, we’re officially past the winter solstice now (and were 2 posts ago, but I just forgot) and the…

More X100 – a little review and some pics

First, I’d just like you all to notice for the record that this the second post in a row that hasn’t featured anything motorbike related. But this is camera related! The X100.  I truly love this little camera. It looks utterly fabulous and takes brilliant pictures. I did have to upgrade the firmware to the latest version as the original settings meant it did…

Filmy goodness.

I swore I’d use my film cameras loads.  And I meant it. The trouble is, well, I’m slack. And I want instant results dammit! Pathetic.

Fuji X100

I think it was about 18 months ago that I bought my wife a new camera.  She’d been complaining that she never used the DSLR as it was too big and wanted a super cool point and shoot that still felt like a ‘real’ camera. So I bought her a Fuji X100. The coolest retro digital camera ever. Jay loved it and took some…

Now, where were we..?

Hello, dear readers!  1000 apologies for the slight hiatus but I’ve been sick.  Stupid winter flu bugs have kept me from doing a lot for the last month. I even missed a day of work and as I only get paid for what I work (no sick leave for us company directors) that’s a pretty big deal.  For me to sacrifice that amount of…

A ride around the beaches

Best thing about living by the sea – being able to ride around the beaches. It never gets old.  Probably because I grew up an hour or so’s drive away from the coast I hardly ever saw it, except for holidays and the occasional sunny summer Sunday. So off I went out with the camera again – and here’s some pictures 🙂

tiny update

Its been a crap couple of weeks for getting out and about and taking photos cos I’ve been sick. Yes, the dreaded man-flu. You know it’s bad when a 4 day weekend with gorgeous 30C sunny days could not even tempt me outside, and then the following week I had to have a day off work.   When you’re paid by the day and don’t…

To breakfast and back

Sundays on the bike.  That’s what this blog is turning into! I warn you, it’s probably not going to get much better!!  I’m hooked on riding my little bike and I can hardly wait to get my next bike test done so I can graduate onto bigger bikes and explore a bit further.  That will have to wait until the end of the year…

Of planets, comets and motorbikes

No, I haven’t been riding to the stars, taking mind altering hallucinogenic drugs or doing the Sunday crossword! My week (or rather slightly more than a week, I’m cheating slightly here, I needed to save a few pics from a couple of weeks back to make this work…) has been pretty full of cool things. But most especially its been full of planets, comets…

All work and no play

As the saying goes – all work and no play makes Charlie a dull boy. I have been doing some fun stuff, but: a. Its been too hot (no really – 40C+ – ugh) b. I’ve been too lazy (see a) c. I’ve been busy with other not so interesting stuff. Anyway, if I have anyone left still reading this blog – here’s some…
