I Had A Quiet,

but busy day whilst Diana was at work, 


image DPReview, I took the 100-200mm F5.6 lens for my GFX 100s II camera out of the box and played with that, it was a learning curve all over again, (and I am still nowhere near mastering the controls of the camera body), I have to admit that early on in my photographic hobby every camera I own was totally manual, set the ISO, (depending on what film stock was bought), and then the triangle of the lens aperture, the shutter speed and the ISO., at the time it was all second nature, then I started buying what I call modern cameras, just put the dial to automatic and the camera sorts everything out, it made me so lazy for more years than I care to remember, my old craft, if you would call it that, was forgotten, but now I am having to relearn everything, and it takes time!

in the evening a read and a sherry, 

for my evening meal a chicken curry and a rather nice bottle of wine from the Côtes du Rhône region, I found lurking about in my bottle store, 'Cheers!', after which a evening with 2 from Midsomer Murder, I had watched both of them before, but so long ago I really could not remember until at least half way through who committed the dastardly deed, when Diana returned from work, time for a coffee and a chat, well a spiced rum for myself, as by now it was late we were then off to bed.
