Looks like they're snoozing....fancy that at ! Will bookmark this for daytime entertainment.
I've got the Canon 50D and my macro lens is the EFS60mm lens...and its the mutts....
I agree that you get what you pay for, so always go for the best lens that you can possibly afford.
Barba Papa.......
All Change!
I've copied this from a website as we tend just to take some fruit, stick in some sugar and see how it goes.
600g (21 oz) Blackberries (Bramble to us north of the border)
300g (10oz) Raw Cane Sugar
1 litre of Scotch Whisky
Best with the cheapest supermarmarket whisky as anything else will be wasted!
Raw cane sugar is best because it contains no chemicals and has a natural flavour. The recipe can be scaled up or down according to the amount of whisky available. If you picked too much fruit, buy more whisky!
Method
The method is the same as for sloe gin:
Wash and dry the blackberries. ( Nah, just stick them in the freezer, then when frozen, stick them straight in the bottle!)
Put the blackberries, whisky and sugar into a large jar or demijohn.
Shake until the sugar has dissolved or until your arms start to ache.
Put the lid back on the whisky bottle and keep it to one side - there's no need to wash it out.
Keep the container in a cool place out of direct sunlight.
Shake once or twice a day for the first two weeks then once a week for six to eight weeks in total.
You can then decant the liquid back into the original bottle - it is best to strain it through a piece of muslin cloth or kitchen towel using a funnel.
Blooming marvellous....also try with different combinations of....strawberries, cranberries, blueberries, vodka, gin, whisky.

EXCERPTS FROM A CAT'S DIARY
DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture...Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.
DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors,I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair...must try this On their bed.
DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was... Not working according to plan.
DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still LODGED between my teeth.
DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event, however, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer." More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.
DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and he speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my activities. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...
I'm a cat person.....but do love those dippy dogs too.
Ha ha, glad Missy is getting the blame for introducing geocaching to SH.
I've been involved in the nerdy underground hobby for about 6 years.
How proud am I....thread ressurected after a long time.
Here is the humble Humber.....
Watching Countryfile.....don't like it as much in the evening and I think they're cheating and replaying old articles.....but I'm a sucker for the weeks weather on Countryfile.
What on earth was I thinking?
In the 1920's Ernest Hemingway bet that he could write a complete story in just 6 words.
He wrote: "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn."
He won the bet.
This inspired Smith, a writing web site, to try to write their own life story in the same short six words here.
Its since been made into books and varied with different themes.
Some of my favourites....
"Don't tell anyone where it's buried."
"I'm still here. Who'd have though?"
"Seeking silver lining; finding only tinfoil."
Can you write your memoir in six words?
I'm still working on mine.....guess I'm too verbose!
Harry had a go and came up with this straight off the bat....
"I wish I'd brought me brolly!"
Ok, crap opening sesh......how can you call a race after four laps ffs!! OK its the rules, fine.
Can't wait on the 250 and big class ( gave up putting a number to it a long time ago! )
Big shout outs to the Brits, including the very dishy JT :twisted: god I could do him some damage.. ..Bradley, Scotty, Danny and Matt Hoyle the new boy.
Go on lads!!
Not sure if this is too late, but when I read it I reached for a couple of books I got when I last changed jobs ( only done it once since leaving school, so I needed all the help I could get! )
One of the books says if you don't have a rational reasonable reason, use one of these, apparently an employment industry formula known as CLAMPS
Challenge: you weren't able to grow professionally
Location: the journey to work was unreasonably long
Advancement: you had talent but there was too much other talent ahead of you
Money: you were underpaid for your skills and contribution
Pride/Prestige: you wanted to be with a better company
Security: the company was not stable
One of my faves - been seen before in the forum.
I've been to Twatt :shock:
There's a hill up near Crieff called Ben Thrush and nearby a small river called Fanny Burn!
I hate the taste of red bull and it's effects are a bit full on for me..it gives me palpitations!
I tend to buy Tesco own brand one. It's called Kick and they do a diet cranberry version which is quite nice.
:doh: :cry:
But not completely unexpected.
Onward.....
