Camera

Retail therapy is not really my thing. When the chips are down, I usually turn to comfort food. This last year has not helped my waistline one little bit and I've put on near as damn it all the weight I'd previously lost. I hope to somewhere find the motivation to lose it again.
After the scan, I'll be honest, my heart was hurting. That feeling inside me that craved "something" but not something to eat .. I craved the love of a litter ... of puppies. It would have been so easy to go to Freshfields and get a kitten, or to just buy a puppy from a breeder ... but thankfully I held it together and got some comfort from Nicola. 
I had taken advice from "Gemini" about a camera before Xmas, but she/it recommended that I didn't have the budget for my requirements ... well feck it I doubled my budget and asked for further advice. Gemini came up with a suggestion for a refurbished Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ100. I read, I asked Bethan and going to the website she recommended, I bought it. 
I love it, but I do wonder if it's a little too specialist for my capabilities? We'll see. This photo of Orin was one of the first I took as I tried some of the settings. All the snow photos have been taken with the camera - so far so good.
