Oh well, about 09h00.

Thanks, I needed some meatloaf for an ear worm this morning.

It's that morally straight part isn't it.

Meat Loaf - Two Out of Three Ain't Bad - YouTube

You got it. About 1976/77. Bat out of hell.

Quite a few days (I think!) since we talked about "meatballs" and so on - just had some (presumably!) UK supermarket "American meatballs", and both I and SWMBO agreed that they were "quite nice" BUT totally tasteless!

Not sure I've ever eaten an "American" meatball.
We eat Italian style meatballs.

I think the ones I install are a little bit bigger.

You lay about ne’er do well.

Totally tasteless?

Sounds like English food.

Very much so, LOL. But then, the thing goes wrong from the opening sentence. I can only manage the "help other people" part and the "mentally awake" part. Except for Friday evenings. Then all bets are off.

Of course, having already formally sworn allegiance to the Queen (Elizabeth II - long may she reign) all the rest is fluid anyway!

Lunch??? That's tea time.

Plus, I work to midnight. (That's my excuse anyway!)

So wow, it is really too bad I did not read this post before I bought my K-3 II. I mean golly, I can only imagine the degradation I am experiencing every time I take a picture. I could have had far better images if the Ricoh name did not sully the body of my camera. What am I to do? I guess it might be time to sell all my Pentax kit and go with one of the big two who so badly deserve my attention and funding. Please, Pentax community, lead me in the correct direction; tell me what I should do!
