puneets and I went out walking in Oxfordshire today. We took a shortened version of this walk. There wasn't a whole lot of snow but the weather was brilliantly sunny so we bagged lots of very nice winter shots. This is one of the first photos I took. It's from Stonor Deerpark, looking westwards.

I'm tempted to buy a Wacom Graphire Bluetooth graphic tablet. They're €214 with p&p to the UK from the Wacom store. That's £145.

I just called Best Cameras and they told me that they are getting the first stock in this week but they've all been spoken for. The next delivery is in early December. :-(

I've got some exercise DVDs from eBay. Rosemarie Conley and Yogalates. Both of these are in my wishlist on Amazon and the eBay price ended up cheaper. Depending on how the wind blows, I may also end up with the Firefly DVDs.

Ah, yes, the camera. I got it from BestCameras.com. Don't know when it will arrive. They may not have begun to dispatch ( Read more... )
