Welcome back, Christopher.
Little I can chat you up about email-ly, as I'm the proud new owner of ONLY
a little Canon PowerShot A620 that has an extendable, swivelable viewfinder
enabling one to take piccies of oneself by swiveling the vf to face one's
self. Everyone in the world takes better photos than I do, despite my urge
to photograph virtually everything I see. <sigh>
Don't think I'd want to have a camera that can dent concrete!
I think most of us are in the mood to "hear" some new poetry done by a petc
poet. Mebbe you could even prevail upon Alison Croggon to put one or two of
yours into the online petc collection. Y not? Should be a beautiful thing
if it matches any other things she's done online.
Best,
Judy AKA most anything, but for today it's Fork Lift (2 words to represent
my favourite hobby, enjoying food, as well as the obvious lovely, practical
machine)
