Been sunny weather recently…
Weather is being a bit annoying. Several days of nothing but rain, then several days of too much sun. What happened to balance?
Trying a new blog poster…. wonder it will work?

Have been thinking about reading this book for some time. I can’t remember where, but some people have been somewhat critical of it. There is another book that was suggested to be better, but a certain member of my family has not given it me back!
Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
Need to find a book about renting property. I usually don’t like the idea of reading the Dummies books but maybe they are not so bad as all that?

Thinking about a new camera…
Used to have a Nikon which I liked. But recent review have been somewhat negative of the quality of Nikon’s small cameras. In theory I would like a full size digital SLR camera. But… in reality I would only use a small camera that I can fit in my pocket. My last camera was a panasonic lumix. Quite good. Didn’t swim well.
Thinking to get another panasonic. The shortlist is:
Panasonic DMCFX37 Digital Camera – Silver (10MP, 5x Optical Zoom) 2.5
And a suitable SDHC card to go with that…
SanDisk Extreme III SDHC 4GB Card
In the end I went with the TZ5.
A camera bag for the TZ5:
Have been thinking about printers recently. One is needed for Linux. HP make a good range. Have used Epson in the past but they seem expensive in terms of ink.
The C5280 seems a pretty reasonable printer. There are more expensive printers, with automatic document feeders and duplex printing but rather a hike in price. Other useful things in other printers are wireless, network, bluetooth etc. But, they are much more expensive.

Unfortunately it needs a cable…
