New camera.

General, Reckons

I got a new digital camera. Well, it’s new to me anyway. Lot’s better than our other one. Been playing with it a bit. Will put up a gallery shortly. It has zoom & macro functions, which the other one didn’t, and can take pictures bigger than 640×480, which the other one couldn’t. And it really chews through batteries.

Hot Police Action.

General, Reckons

4.48 am – Call Police to report two guys kicking the life out of some stupid drunk guy.
4.52 am – Police arrive. 5 cars, eventually. Including one dog unit.
4.55 am – Talk to police woman, give details.
5.00 am – Sit on the deck listening to Dylan‘s scanner and watching events unfold.
5.05 am – Dog starts snuffling around the far side of the park, we know that’s not where the kickers went, so we figure it’s probably safe to give up on the dog.

7.06 am – Update website.

Bye-bye Bailey.

General, Reckons

Took Bailey back to his owners. The house is a lot quieter, and it’s now less futile trying to vacuum – that dog would rebuild a thick mat of dog hair faster than… Something that couldn’t do it as fast as him.
