Weekend

[ewx]

I'd intended to go to hoiho's pub afternoon on Saturday. In the end I ended up spending the morning and early afternoon fixing naath's bike. Slippery roads out there. Despite a collection of injuries she spent most of the day preparing for the Foreyule Feast, with help from a variety of hands. (For those not in the know, that's Christmas dinner for a couple of dozen Tolkien enthusiasts.) The results were lovely; I'm impressed.

...and the rest. As has been hitherto typical for my indoor shots these were all taken with the 50mm f/1.8 lens; I seem to have persuaded edith_the_hutt to get one too.

The CTS did a most of the tidying up themselves but probably inevitably there was some left for Sunday (and indeed there's a few pots and pans awaiting a spare moment yet).

Sunday evening I went round to beckyc's for videos. Once upon a time in Mexico is still very silly; Spy Kids was a laugh. It occurs to me that Depp would have been a shoo-in for Alan Cummings' character - not that there was anything wrong with the actual casting - though after his performance as Sands in the former film it would be very, very strange (Danny Trejo's role-shift between the two was odd enough as it was).

Back to work today. I'm not safe to be let near a camera shop; I've bought one of these and, pretty much of necessity, a larger kit-bag. Though the old one will still be useful for those occasions when I don't fancy lugging my entire collection of glassware around simultaneously.
