Filming Follies

After my last post my camera started malfunctioning and I just didn't wanna post without pix. The camera store told me they "didn't do Kodak" so I couldn't get a camera battery there, which was the first problem, and ended up taking 3 weeks to get one ordered off eBay and received. Then it was outta juice the next time I tried to use it. Ordered another battery, same thing happened and now I'm getting a message that the memory card needs to be reformatted. So, even the pictures I managed to get but not download are gonna be gone.

Here's what's coming up the next few weeks:

- Saturday going to pick up a package at the depot in a village near Maidstone, then meeting up with my friend Evelyn for shopping and eating in Chatham
- Getting my desktop computer set up
- Finalizing my digital piano rental order (I put the deposit but the paperwork is lagging behind)
- October 8 Dr. Who Live at Wembley Stadium
- October 9 haircut in the afternoon and friend's concert in the evening
- Taking my driving theory test October 21
- If I pass, time to start scheduling driving lessons so I can pass the practical and have my UK licence by February 1, a year after arriving!

Plus the usual shopping, cooking, laundry, kitty bonding time, 50+ hour weeks, etc.

It's all good though!!! I've had loads of fun trips since my last post and will be having loads more. Hopefully I'll get the camera situation resolved one way or another soon. I wasn't happy with some of the last shots I took anyway. Had what I thought would be great pix of St. Paul's Cathedral from the Thames and they didn't look at all like I'd hoped they would. Plus the screen on the Kodak, you can't see it in the daylight. I mean, I'm bummed that a $110 camera didn't even last a year, but I think it's time to accept it and move on.
