Hiya, well thngs have taken a turn for the worse, haven't they? Weather wise I mean. Since my return from Germany, it has been almost continual rain here in Wales, making photography a real challenge, so it has been put on the back burner for a while. I hope soon, to resurect my hobby, and the use of my Samsung cameras.
On a side note, my wife and I just purchased a used, car. It is a 1400 Nissan Micra automatic. I won't tell you our ages, suffice to say, that we are NOT in our first flush of youth. My wife, who is a great driver and has been driving for quite a few years, and never had an accident, got in the driving seat. After familiarising herself with the cars controls, she started the engine, put it into R, (reverse), and touched the throttle. We shot off doing about forty miles an hour, BACKWARDS, lol. You should have seen the look on her face, I wish I had my camera with me then, it was priceless. It seems that this little car, is a Sport, model. What had happened, we found out later, was there is a little button on the auto gear selector, with an "S" on it. Yes, you guessed it, this engages the "Sport mode," of the Micra. This mode gives the car a different range of gearing for, " a SPORTY driving experience." What an experience it was, lol. Luckily, there was nothing at all behind us, or she would have ruined her impecable driving record with dented vehicles, ours, and theirs. Now after a week of handling tyhe car, Mrs. Cati says she would never want to go back to a manual transmission vehicle.
I'm not here to write a lot today, as I have to shave and shower for our little trip. We are taking the Micra for a little run today, down to Barry to try to take some photographs, and then go for a meal somewhere. Bye for now.
Kindest regards Twm.
