Day 1 of our new lockdown - I'm spending it in work on my own whilst watching stuff on youtube.

Then 3 more days the same

A quiet day today, with nothing on the agenda apart from another turkey lunch. The wine will flow, again, and no doubt the day will finish with a large Spanish brandy.

We're saving getting presents till we can get down to Almeria city. The 'boss' is looking for a massive refresh to her wardrobe, and I'm hoping to get hold of an Xbox Series X.

I got some driving gloves that I will never wear (who the hell does wear driving gloves ?! )

Lol .. everyone from the 70's apparently... sweeney, Avengers, Randle n Hopkirk, the saint, etc: hahaha.
Saying that, I saw an older gent a few weeks ago in a new fiesta and he was wearing driving gloves! The string backed type, my grandad had a pair he wore when he drove his zephyr 6. Made me smile tbh.

Woke up today to an inch of snow - a belated white christmas. Smile is that our garden now looks as good as the neighbours.

I suppose this counts as yesterday & todays; i decided to get a Mirrorless camera and start getting back in to Photography a bit more.
I sold my DSLR as i stopped used it frequently due to the size & weight of it + the lenses. And have waited until the prices have dropped to a more reasonable level. It is nothing fancy/high end (Sony A6000), but certainly better than my old entry level DSLR was and a whole lot lighter & smaller.
