Its not been a good week so far!!!

[pepper]

It's not been a good week! I've had an operation on my knee which has left me out of action and am going to have a huge scar down the front of it.



Then on Friday I was cheered by the fact that I got my new iphone 4, I'd resisted them up till now but decided to give the latest one a try. Friday evening my friend picks me up and takes me down the pub we're sitting outside on a lovely evening and I went to get up and the new phone slipped out of my pocket dropped a foot onto the floor and has now got a cracked screen!

Gutted or what

Never mind hey ho I'm sure something else will break on it soon and I'll get both problems sorted at the same time!

Yesterday I got a second hand Olympus E3 in the post, having finally decided to stay with Olympus rather than change to Nikon, (which I could have done quite easily as I have both types of lenses). The main reason I decided to stay is I have a fantastic Panasonic Lumix 14-50 f2.8-3.5 lens which will be brilliant on the E3. So yesterday I took the dog out to my friends lake where he can run around loads and loads I can just sit and wait for him.

Here he is before he gets too dirty!



On the way back I got cut up by a car driving too fast and ended up falling over and dropping my camera. The camera's fine but the lens took the knock and now won't extend onto full zoom.

I'm due to get off on holiday on Saturday and I'm now stuck with either wide angle or long distance zooms or fixed focal length for my holiday!

I may just say sod it and just take my old DMC-L1 and the 25mm pancake lens and just limit myself to that for the whole holiday as a penance!

My families been away for the past three weeks, so I've been on my own and am really looking forward to our holiday together, so all will be good in the end.

I've already picked up a bumper for it cheaply and have signed up for a case from Apple. The bumper helps in stopping it from slipping and also help work out which way up it is, its not like my wifes 3gs where you can easily tell which way round it is.

Thanks Steve, I'm going to leave it for a while in case anything else goes wrong with it!

It's the lens that I'm most gutted about I inherited it from my Father last year when he passed away, in turn the DMC-L1 it was normally attached too was the last camera digtal camera he bought and he had bought it as a present to himself when my Mother passed away!

Hence me being loathe to move over to Nikon and deciding to stay with 4/3 and choosing an E3 to bring my camera body upto date.

Not a good week so far? Sounds like an understatement! Well, it can only get better from now on and to help that along, let me just assure you that your scar will become hardly noticeable before long. I've had my right knee replaced and it's now a thing of beauty again. Can't say the same about the left, though, which needs doing.

As for the camera bits and phone, my wife would say 'they're only things'. She doesn't understand how dear they are to us.

After reading this I don't feel so bad about the cat hawking up all over my bed at 4am this morning! At least it was just annoying rather than expensive or painfull. Hope you have a good holiday, you deserve it.
