What made you feel good today

Just back from a preview at a local art gallery. Masses of friendly people and free flowing wine.
Makes me feel very good! I'm getting my life back.

Sounds good, I miss out being in the sticks and usually only see one annual exhibition.

I'm sure life in the sticks has its compensations.

Saints winning against Tigers in the semi-final, and booking a date at Twickenham. Made me feel great.

As it's just up the road I shan't be watching - just a bike ride away.

What will be interesting is how they clone Sizewell Power Station out of the shots 
The proposed Sizewell C is supposed to need a bit of the land - but it least it provides all year round warm water for the birds and fish

Special offer on DXO Optics upgrade to 9.5 taken up.

It does a lot of the same stuff LR does in terms of image development, but for me the clincher is the optical and sensor corrections for my little Lumix LX5 - it just makes the pictures from that so vibrant and indescribably 'smooth' while still being pin sharp.

This is very interesting    http://trendinghot.net/invention-will-change-world-just-watch/

Especially for those who hate driving in snow and ice and more    -

Yep, seen it before Andy. Absolutely barking. How many tons of copper per kilometre? Still, I am doing my bit creating empties to recycle, just in case the idea takes off, you understand.

I know what you mean. If they used it on the M25 around London everyone would have to travel to work before sun up and home again once it got dark!

I am sure it has a place somewhere if the slab units are cost effective  and the invention is not swallowed up and lost by more powerful industry areas and the like.

I was very good today. I went into town with half a mind to buy a Fuji XE2 on the last day of the free lens offer. I had said I`d be waiting for Xt1 prices to go down later in the year  or even wait until I stop shooting weddings next March before buying an XT1. the only problem was this free lens offer. I tried them in a quality photographic shop in Leeds who told me the XT1 was better (as I knew) but said if I was smart I`d buy the XE2 with the lens offer and get an xt1 as well next year and shoot weddings with those. I went away to think and count to 10 when where should I pass but Jessops. I went in thinking that if I could get them to drop their price by £100 and match Clifton Cameras I`d bite for the XE2. After a long call to the regional manager they agreed - if I bought something else like insurance etc. Thanks for making my mind up I said and prepared to walk out - oh OK then they said - that price but we cannot supply until Tuesday but will give you a receipt dated today for the free lens offer. Again I said I`ll get a coffee and think .....What did I do to make me feel good? I managed to walk away. Even my wife was surprised to see no Jessops bag by my side when I met her for coffee having siad I`d be buying. Quite proud of myself... but when than XT2 comes out and they offer XT1s with free lenses or such I `m not saying I`ll manage it again

Strange, but I also went into Jessops on Thursday and had a look around and noticed they had a Manfrotto 393 long lens bracket priced at £129. Like Jinky I walked out of Jessops except I had a bag with Manfrotto 393 long lens bracket in it.
