again - this is not a full frame shot resized down, this is a crop. but the detail is impressive even for a cheapo lens.

i got a good deall on a macro lens on adverts yesterday; it's good craic, here's a photo and then a crop of some detail i missed while taking it.

it's out in terms of being too high or too low on the body, i assume? looking great anyway.

i was at school with a lad called yozzer (real name stephen hughes) and for several years had no idea of why he was called yozzer.

Maybe he's in training.

I think I might have it sorted. The impeller was far easier to get to than I would have expected, having found the manual. I *think* it was caused by the tiny piece of loose plastic - clear food wrapping sort of plastic - I found which had somehow gotten past the filter.

Ours would still be under warranty I reckon. Bosch, which you would hope offers good after sales support.

Last night the dishwasher started to make a high pitched mechanical whine when pumping water out. Google suggests it's the impeller which is shot. The machine is only two or three years old.

Based on what I see there, the Tories have bagged as many council seats in this election as the lib Dems.

I thought the coverage of this would be more prominent. Is this going better or worse for the Tories than had been predicted? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2024/may/02/local-elections-2024-full-council-results-for-england?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Ditto.

is it a minor pleasure or minor complaint if a bird shits on you? it's supposed to be a sign of luck, yeah?
