Thanks for that Dick, made me laugh on a Monday morning - fairly unusual :-)

Maybe it was some frozen water on the keyboard or it was sent from a 
handheld or PDA and Dave has been sitting on the thing whilst contemplating 
composition of that waterfall.   Anyway, am sure that Dave has it sorted as 
the messages have stopped.

Was looking forward to a good read this morning as all those EMails came 
flooding into the InBox.......

Photography this weekend was limited to some copy work for kid's art - but 
the mention of Polaroid reminds me that there are several unopened boxes of 
4x5 B&W Polaroid film sitting in the film store.  Kept at a low temperature 
but not in a fridge or frozen and all well past its sell by date.  Will 
have to dig some out and use it with a Speed Graphic just to get the feel 
of what it must have been like to use a 4x5 in reportage style.......

All the best,
