It Was Time To Unpack The New Computer And Screen,

as Bob had very kindly offered to call round and set the computer up for me,

I am totally hopeless at this sort of thing, so out with the screen,

everything removed first of course, 

computer in place, 

Bob could not believe the mess I had made with the wiring of the old one!

a rather neat trick I thought, Bob linked his laptop to the new computer, 

which made things a lot easier, 

and Ta-Dah! there it all is, many, many thanks indeed to Bob, I really could not have done any of this without him, as Bob left, it was time for me to go to the Beckenham Photographic Society AGM, 

new officials were appointed, Rodger the out going president, 

welcoming Andrew as this years new president, as it happens this will be the last meeting for this season, except next week there will be a get together at a local restaurant, all of the club meetings will stop for the summer and start again next autumn, there will be occasional get togethers during the summer for walks and photo sessions but no formal club meetings, then on to the prize giving where points are added up over the year and a trophy is presented, 

wait a second, what am I dong in the line up? rather well as it happens, below my photographic achievements for my first full year at the club,

I get to keep the bowl for 1 year, then back it goes to next years lucky winner,

and not only the bowl I took second place as well!

there were 2 monochrome competitions, for myself a second,

and a third, 

and lastly a 2nd. for a print, wow! I had hopped for a mention but I had no idea I had done this well, after the meeting ended I picked Diana up from work then home we went, where it was feet up as we watched anther from Perfect Planet, this episode The Sun, after which we were both off to bed.
