I took better photos today, but they were for private use. I met up with Phil and Hilary Roberts in the morning. We went out for a delicious brunch at Little Collins, and spent most of the afternoon wandering around Amsterdam in the warmth of a brilliant autumn day.
Daily self-care checklist:
- Walk: lots
- Photography: lots
- Bass: no
- Snacks: packet of peanut M&Ms on the metro back with Fiona, and a dark chocolate coconut ball from Madame Cocos (Vendor at the Albert Cuyp markt. I’ve had them before, from a vendor at the embassy festival in Den Haag last year. They’re amazing.)

I went to visit Dave in Stonehaven on Saturday. We had a great time, and talked a lot about cameras, because I’ve been planning to get a new (“new”) one to replace our old Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200. We walked out past the war memorial and to Dunottar Castle, which is just absurdly scenic. Dave came up with the idea of doing an October photo-a-day challenge to exercise our picture muscles!
My new camera plan came together yesterday in the form of a second-hand Panasonic DMC-FZ1000 in perfect condition. The photo above was still just from my iPhone, because I happened to see a lovely bright rainbow just after I dropped Fiona at school yesterday. I snapped it in haste while I was stopped at a traffic light. In the live photo version, the window wiper comes along a fraction of a second later.
