The Georgians made their walls out of an alloy of flint and diamonds known as impentrablebastardidium.

@chrismarquardt And of course, for the Zi6, I just carry around a thousand or so spare AA batteries ;)

@andybeebristol Noted, ta. And also my contacts, otherwise I do tend to steam up when taking photos in the cold!

How do people clean their viewfinders? The actual bit on the back of the camera, not the internal stuff…

Having lunch in the Thali Cafe in Clifton Village.

@belfastbiker Yeah, it’s been dead for me all morning, and still dead now.

@hayles Bah. Just headed down from Clifton. Am muzzy-headed and running a temperature, so probably best avoided anyway :)

Think I’ve managed to take some good photos with that L lens. On the down side, if I have, that’ll make me want to buy one.

@boagworld Because the amount of avocado-colour plastic available doesn’t double every 18 months :)

Wow! According to this mail, Halifax have “a newly established security server in which guarantees your maximum protection”.

…it’s enough to make me wished I banked with them.

Thanks for viewfinder-cleaning suggestions, all. Going for cotton bud & lens cleaner approach.

@chrisphin I know what you mean. But it is bloody good when you need it. And so far I’m definitely up on the deal.

@chrismarquardt Dopey buggers. But is the Zi8 any good? I enjoy the Zi6, but want stabilisation & less jerkiness when panning.

@Swishrelic I am. But I need to wait for my hands to stop vibrating for a while before I do the next one.

@Swishrelic If I were that vindictive, I’d be doing it at 7am, not 7pm.

No matter how beautiful a piece of music, it will still irritate the hell out of you when looped over a DVD menu.

@belfastbiker Incidentally, I just rebooted my Mac and the iTunes Store came back. If it’s not back for you, you might want to try that…

@dressjunkie Do you normally run two days in a row? I find it doesn’t help much…

via Twitter Web Client

@dressjunkie …but everyone’s different!

via Twitter Web Client

@stephsteb Yes, indeed, was bloody good. Saw it last week.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to stephsteb

Right. Definitely have some kind of illness. Nothing too bad so far, but supplementing my breakfast with a Lemsip.

via Twitter Web Client

@dressjunkie Hmm. Could go either way, I’d guess. If you normally run every other day, I’d not do two in a row. Stretches and nice walk?

@amandapalmer Back off gently. I find green tea a good way of easing myself away from coffee, gradually swapping it in more and more.

RT @hotdogsladies: If an idea hurts, you probably put it in the wrong hole.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to hotdogsladies

@andybeebristol Mmm. Think I’ll be hitting BTP later. Lovely-looking day for a walk.

@csoanes I’m running tomorrow. Was going to try for 10K, but think I’ll have to see how I feel as I’m going. “Malaise” def. sums it up!
