Brand new bag!

This is the new camera bag I bought in Manchester yesterday.....so much better than the one that came with the camera. Lots of handy pockets etc....and a built in rain cover...handy around here.

Full day teaching today....and feeling a bit tired after yesterday's exertions by the end of the day.

Only 9 more get ups until half term!

Quiz night tonight....away to the Pack Horse....except we played at the Royal because the Pack closed suddenly last week! The closure is shrouded in mystery and rumours abound....landlord did a runner with the takings.... landlord hadn't paid any bills so brewery sacked him....kitchen failed food hygiene inspection....it'll all come out eventually.

Quiz was a really nice experience, questions nicely balanced, I captained with Ann, Terry and Bob in the team, friendly opposition...we led from stsart to finish and ran out 35-46 winners.
