Charlie's WorldMore X100 – a little review and some pics
Posted on July 1, 2013
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 some things that were downright annoying. (6 seconds for the camera to start, for example) To be fair, all these things had been reported in thousands of reviews,blogs, youtube clips and all over the internet, so it was really my own fault for not doing it sooner.

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. Read More
Fuji X100
Posted on June 15, 2013
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 awesome photos with it, but she really doesn’t take many photos anymore, preferring to draw instead.
So I am now free to borrow it. Huzzar!
And another thing…

Just when you thought it was safe to come back..
MORE PHOTOS!
I know. It’s a bit of a cheek really, as I already had all these shots ready to go last week, but held them back a I didn’t want that last post to be endlessly massive.
But I care not one jot, you all love me anyway, right? Read More
Now, where were we..?
Posted on June 10, 2013
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 money to the flu god, it was pretty bad. That’s kind a shit buys a lot of wine.
Anyways, its not all been doom and gloom, I have managed to ride my bike a lot, even though it’s suddenly turned very cold.
0.7C at 6:45am kinda cold. Yes, I know northern hemisphere dwellers would say ‘thats not cold, if you want cold, try riding in the snow yer great southern shandy drinking poof’
Yeah, no. I’ve done that, it’s not fun. Plus it doesn’t snow here.
A ride around the beaches
Posted on May 6, 2013
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 🙂
Top 10 – new feature
Posted on April 28, 2013
I’m starting a new feature – Top 10’s
This is just a feel good feature, totally subjective nonsense about the things I like (or don’t)
Contributions, guest posts and suggestions are most welcome!
So, to start us off, and just because it’s one of my most favourite things my wife most hates.
The 80’s.
Specifically, Top 10 80’s songs.

The best bit about autumn – clouds.
Posted on April 21, 2013
Summer in Perth is all very well, but the heat, the endless blue skies and 15 hours of sunshine a day can get a bit wearing.
I know, I know, how ungrateful!! Compared to England, we have good weather here – even when its cold, its warm. Blah blah!
Well, the summer has packed its bags now and autumn is coming and with it – clouds, rain and cool breezes. All of which are great for photographs. A bit of cloud and suddenly everything is a little bit more interesting.
tiny update
Posted on April 7, 2013
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 get sick leave, this is a very big deal.
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 though my pretties.
So in the meantime, more pics from my rides on the little red Ninja and a few others, just because. Read More
