What will you do today?
apart from your daily walk and the odd purchase what will you do today
Might polish my shoes . . .
I have a bunch of now almost dead pink roses bought from our local LIDL here in Chalais France for a few euros. They are about to give it up for the 105mm micro nikkor on the d700 in the beautiful low sun. Whether they will be fit to post on here is another matter....just the odd hour spent shooting and a couple of hours spent with Mr Adobes fine software with a side order of DxO makes for a nice Easter Monday treat far from the incessant childrens films which have become the staple of free TV of late....Get Shooting and Validate the money spent on all that kit!!!!....other wise we are very restricted in what we can and cannot do in the French version of Lockdown which goes a long way to explain why we have so few deaths in our region,,,,I`ve been out twice in the last month!
I shall answer in the style of 007:
All, bugger all.
All, bugger all.
Take some photos of the birds in the garden.

I power washed my patio last week so I am now back to digitising some 10,000 railway transparencies taken between 1985 and 2006. I am up to 1991 so a long way to go. I am using my Nikon D750, 60mm f2.8 Micro-Nikkor and ES-2 transparency holder. Far quicker than using the flatbed scanner.
So far I have entered a national Photographic competition (Robin Hood), contacted a friend with details about my Portal Mini, completed today's section of an Open University Course and taken a video call from my Daughter. I now need to call back a colleague in the camera club as he called when I was tied up. I then need to produce the final version of the annual accounts for the club ready for the auditor. I would like a rest after that.

Partially rebuilt my PC, well replaced my old 120GB with a 480GB, my new one was half the price and 4x the capacity of my old 120, seemed like a good time to do it.
Then dug out a spare sata lead and fitted the old 120 as a second SSD and wiped all the old data off it, not a big disc for storage but could be used as a scratch in PS or something.
Windows freshly installed as well, a job that 10 years ago might have taken half a day was done in 30 minutes or so, then another 40 minutes to an hour was spent on windows updates, reinstalling software etc.
All in a tiny job these days.

Yesterday was a 3ml walk and start Guest Editor duties.
We has a click and collect from local ASDA - Mrs D had a trip out and sat in the car while the groceries were loaded.
- A trip in the car, now there's a treat, it's done 32mls in the last month.
Today, repainting the main bathroom.

Wait for a box of very fresh fruit and veg. to be delivered by the local greengrocer.
While I am waiting I might set something up on a table for macro photography.
