Bob, the snow is now gone after all the rain we have had for the past week. To date the coldest April in over 50 years. When I was out in the country last week, every slough is full of water, something I have not seen in 20 years. There is lots of moisture and it will very likely deter seeding, not a good thing.
And yes, I've been working on a novel for a few years now in bits and pieces here and there. One day when time allows, I will put them all together.
NOTICE: If you see links to ads in the above post, blame the ad-linking software used by the owners of this website. I do not endorse these ad links. Don't click on them.
My take on it is that if you're going to buy an expensive digital camera, be prepared to lie to yourself about how good the pictures look Margaret
I don't make a very good liar but am practising Bought a new camera this morning.
Marc, thanks for the link to Steve's site. I think I came close to wearing out the link with all the checking I did. Guess you could say I've now got two Steves in my life

Spent almost two hours queuing to vote in the French election today (in London). First time I saw a group of several thousand French people staying in an orderly queue... ever! Must have been important...
Sanity prevailed with vomit bag Le Pen sent back to 11% (still about 10% too much in my book). Dismal showing from the Greens on 1.5%, running behind the Trotskysts and assorted communists. The anto-globalisation bloke who was put in jail for trashing a McDonald's got about 1%. The other racist/royalist candidate got 2.5%.
So it's Sego v. Sarko in two weeks... "we shall see"

Ann, I trust the reviews on both of those sites, so I use them, as well as my own needs and sense of the camera when it is in my hands, to make my selection. What camera did you finally decide upon?

So it's Sego v. Sarko in two weeks... "we shall see". Yes, they voted in St.Pierre, just off the coast of NL as well. I know who I would have voted for in this election. Paix, mon ami.

Ann, another friend told me this morning that she was headed out to buy a new camera too - must be the day for it
I just spent an hour trying to help a very reluctant computer user download and install some software so she can listen to some questionable music that her Windows using friends keep sending her. She hasn't yet learned that she could just smile and say "thanks, I enjoyed that" and leave off all the aggravation of trying to bend her Mac life to suit them.
The ordeal (for me) ended when the battery on my phone went dead
The sun is shining brightly, so I'm going to take some pictures of my latest beady project and post them on my blog.
Margaret, that is a good deed and you deserve a virtual hug.

There is only an hour left until the scheduled "maintenance / upgrades". So, I shall say good night to one and all now.
As well, just in case there is a sudden loss of The Shang thread (just like its father, The Monster Thread), let me say it has been a true pleasure to have met you over these past four years. I am glad that we took the ride together.
Paix, mes amis.
