OK so have spent some consumer points in a very frivolous manner and bought a Chuzhao camera that I know to be a toy, thank you Spotlight and Amazon!  You can buy it from Chuzhao with a lens kit.  The lenses seem to be 17mm phone adaptor lenses.  They also sell the ring adaptor to fit the things.  In a fit of financial efficiency, the lens adaptor at a £5 purchased and an appropriate lens kit bought from Amazon with consumer points some £16 cheaper than they’d provide.  If it works this will be financial gold.

What was behind the purchase, whimsical stupidity and a desire to try something different.  In other consumer point purchases, some SD cards and some cases for a couple of planned purchases.

In other news some chasing with NHSBA.  Some anxiety from herself and lots more from me!

So today the thing arrived and first pics are here.

Making meatballs for tonights tea, starts with the shallots.

And here is the shallotecide!

Growth

7th March Growth

GrowthDay one off after a hard week and I’m knackered.  Up late, brekkie at the Tom and Gerry (Miner’s Benedict).  Then away to the Chemist’s to fetch the meds for the pair of us.

Bit of housework with the yodelling hoover in the living room and kitchen.  Act as Mrs Mopp in the kitchen and hallway.

Meet C off the bus, into the Lickers for a pint with herself, meet Geoff.  Then a wee trip to Lidl and back via a pint of Porter (Boudicca) at the Tom and Gerry.  Cook and chill in front of Top of the Pops.  Seems to be a Depeche Mode night.  Influences the old downloads!

I Like To Eat...

I Like To Eat…

I Like To Eat...An early morning trip to the pictures. As a result of Sunday bus timetables we repair unto McDead Thing before wandering along to the Empire picture house.  ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ was the film of choice.  Thoroughly enjoyed by the pair of us.

Lunch at Gregs and then into Asda for a bit of shopping. Then home via the Gobin.  A pleasant day.

Am currently stressing about lots so needed it. Feeling incredibly down at the moment, being a bit random with my meds right now.  Need to get some balance back.

Edit reel I sorted in Wigan the other day.  Needed to download the Get Carter soundtrack to add some music.  First walkout with the Gimbal.  Worked kinda ok, a bit of wobble as I walked!
