Well, as Jimmy Carr said, ‘there’s a sign near my house that says ‘slow children’. “I thought, that’s not going to do much for their self esteem is it?’. “Never mind, they probably can’t read it”…😂

You know that old Scottish folk song, ‘Loch Lomond’?
“You take the high road”….etc.
Well, I’ve been to Scotland, and I can confirm this is the high road.

The wife is still away, home soon though. It’s Friday, so, huge pieces of pan fried Snapper, air fried Kumara fries and a large salad. Healthy as…Look at me feeding myself properly. 😁

Taranaki is only about 8,200ft. It is a remarkably symmetrical mountain though. Yes, NZ is very Beautiful. Very diverse landscapes in such a relatively small country.

You can’t do the moon, with a phone, or panning jet boats…Anyway. Both have their uses.

Well, yes and no. Phone cameras are incredible. But they still give you the photo they choose. Rather than the one you want to take. I do photography for a side hustle. I use my phone for Insta snaps and fun shots. But for the money photos, for galleries, I need my proper camera.

So, I’ve got a new iPhone17 ProMax. This is a photo of my cat. On the floor in the sitting room at night, with only side lights on while I’m watching telly. Yeah. That’s an amazing phone camera.
