Re[2]: PESO - Lockdown, looking out (1st in a loooong time...)

[Pete McIntosh]

I can only accomodate 500 pc puzzles easily which I gather, solve, then list on 
ebay..
I certainly don't need (no pun) to bake bread - easy access here to much of it, 
Definitely doing it
for the pleasure and th learning.. I'm usually more a soup an entry girl too.

The ones we have are Melbourne-specific, and we purchased them with mounting kits 
& frames. We plan to hang them - our place has way too many bare walls :-)


Ciao,

Pete

Thanks Ann. Yes - foggy mood, with the "outside" seeming to be 
distant and fading :-)


Afraid I haven't graduated to baking bread yet :-) Our local bakery 
does a very good sourdough at a good price (also does the best meat 
pies...) and is only 500m away, so it's always a mandatory visit on 
our 1-shopping-trip-per-day allocation.

I've been cooking lots of soups and other meals though.
We have five 1000-piece jigsaws awaiting a table large enough to do 
them on. That table is awaiting delivery, which unfortunately won't be 
until some time after stage 4 lockdowns are lifted. :-(


Ciao,

Pete

Hi guys,

I'm still around, but keeping quiet as I usually do.

We're currently half-way through stage 4 COVID lockdown here in 
Melbourne (mandatory masks, exercise 1 hour/day max, 1 shopping 
trip/day by 1 person max, 20:00-05:00 curfew).


So, to relieve the boredom a bit, I've been walking around our place 
with my KP and DA-40. I particularly liked this one -

G'day Pete

Good to here from you in Lockdown Melbourne.  Hang in there - the case numbers
are dropping.

Watching case numbers up here with some trepidation but they seem to be holding
steady at around 10 or less per day, for now.

Interesting photo - but the somewhat sombre feeling to it seems to fit the mood
of most of us these days.

Cheers & stay safe

With the DA40 on my K100 or K-x I could fit it in a cargo pocket and have an 
only slightly bulky pocket camera.  a

Have you discovered the film cannister lid that works as a lenscap for the DA40?


I have now! :-)

When you look out your screen

that's a moire.


Haha - nice :-)



Stay healthy!

Thanks! Hope the fires subside for you soon, too.

PESO - Lockdown, looking out (1st in a loooong time...)

Hi guys,

I'm still around, but keeping quiet as I usually do.

We're currently half-way through stage 4 COVID lockdown here in 
Melbourne (mandatory masks, exercise 1 hour/day max, 1 shopping trip/day 
by 1 person max, 20:00-05:00 curfew).


So, to relieve the boredom a bit, I've been walking around our place
