The web....

Not the world wide web....I'm talking spiders!

I have a friend who likes to take photos, as I do myself. I wouldn't say either of us are good photographers, but we try.

Last weekend when it was foggy, unbeknownst to each other, we were both out in our gardens taking photos of the spiders webs all covered in the mist. Only one of mine really came out well, but my friend had one right by her door, with a great big spider in it. She emailed me the photo and my comment was, that if the background had been darker it would have been really good but as it was you couldn't really see the web. So she came back to me with another picture....

"I thought I would take it from a different angle" she said.....this is the result....


Is that a scary spider in that tree or what?!
Just to show off, this is mine...no scary spiders though!

Too clever for it's own good...

I had to buy a new TV a couple of weeks ago. Nothing wrong with that I hear you say, and you're quite right. I got a nice one just the right size at a fairly reasonable price as these things go. Plus I can get £50 cash back from Sony! Plus I no longer have to watch green people like on the old one!

Far too clever for it's own good though this TV. It has a sensor which can tell if there's no movement in the room for a set period it then switches itself to standby. Good idea, I hear you say...saves power...indeed, except that I very often am at the other end of the room on the computer and I'm still listening to it and all of a sudden it all goes silent! Going to have to look at the instructions to find a way of switching that off!
