I didn't take any photos because I needed new batteries in my camera, but the ones I bought weren't charged! I did get some photos at the bigger zoo we went to last week though. Check out the lion! All cats are so lazy when the sun is shining.
I have been to see G Force at the movies, endless play grounds and duck ponds and watched enough kids videos to last a long time and i'm so glad school is going back on Tuesday.
The best news is that I am bidding on a Nikon D70 on ebay and currently winning. I know some people will think it's strange that I'm going for an older model camera, but the prices for the D80 around here are ridiculous. The D70 is a great camera - I know, because Dooce and Torrie used the D70 for years and took amazing photos. Plus, with the shitloads of money I'll be saving, I can buy a new flash instead of dodgily fixing my old one, and get a new tripod mount and a 50mm fixed lens. That's my wishlist for THIS week.
I find out in 3 days if I've won or not - expect a billion photos per day after that. I've decided (after watching Mutant Chronicles) that I really want to get into photo manipulation. I want to take photos of cities and houses and people and make everything look like it's the year 2500 and the world has self destructed a little. I have a total post-apocalypse obsession.
This turned into a long rambly blog, cheers if you are still with me!
Today i went to the antiques and collectors fair and spent waaaay too much money on jewelry. I got a tiny little owl pendant that opens up and a heap of cameos.
I'm off to watch Ice Age 2 and wait for dinner (potato pie - yum) to finish cooking. I would totally take a photo of the adorable knickers I'm wearing, but the kids are both still up, so here is my pussy instead.
Ciao ciao
