Fuji FinePix F30

Photograph of a Fujifilm Finepix F30 digital camera with the lens extended (on).

My Fujifilm FinePix F30 is the first digital camera I bought back in 2006. I still like the pictures it takes. It continues to work (2022), and every now and then, I give it an outing.

Always Kiss Me Goodnight – I spotted these signs and the conveniently placed mirror. I couldn’t miss the opportunity for a self-portrait.

Garage Project – Stage II. More shopping for lumber.

Ginger and Tubby – Our resident Cat lady and Tubby, one of our four cats. 2

Blue Kitty – Despite being a haughty madam I have to admit that from time to time she looks wonderful, and tonight under the lamp with the Christmas tree (blue of course) behind her it was a picture asking to be taken.

Honey-do List – This week I’ve been working on my ‘Honey-do’ list and managed to cross off four items: Fitted a new front door, replaced the broken light switch in the kitchen and replaced the light fitting in Alek’s room. This afternoon saw me working on the fourth project. One-minute read

Tra-la! – The almost completed workbench, Just the pegboard, and some more shelves to add and it is finished. 4 pictures

Glued and screwed – and checking if the bench legs fit as planned – they did. 2 pictures

Getting Ready for Gluing.

Space is a bit tight – Here’s the bench laid out on the garage floor just so I can check it all fits. I’ve just got the legs for the benchtop to make now, and then it has all got to be assembled. The wall has to be painted before we can put it up too. Ginger is helping out by fixing the wall and painting it.

Building the workbench – The first thing I had to do was make a workbench so I could build the workbench. One-minute read, 2 pictures

Cleared up, ready to start – Here’s the garage with the west wall cleared ready for prepping and painting, and lots of room for me to be working in making the workbench.

Iron Rooster – Another of Jim’s welded sculptures.

A change of plans (365:091) – It’s Friday night and I was looking forward to the long weekend… 2   4

So long and thanks for all the fish (365:365) — What better note to end on than a raspberry? It’s been 28 hours since I last had a proper sleep, and I’ve traveled nearly 5,000 miles. So, this is it!

Contemplation (365: 331) — A lot to think about tonight, and not all of it is as black as this picture paints.
