Travels with my camera

It rained. So what's new. But it never stopped. It was raining first thing, and it didn't stop till after 6pm. So I sat here on my backside all day and did nothing, apart from feeding the birds and getting wet three times, and messing around making a birthday card in Paint for my friend's birthday at the weekend. I had the snooker on, but I doubt I watched it once. I'm sick to death of my Epson printer too. Every time I go to use it, the bloody ink has dried up in one of the colours. This time it was the black. So I head cleaned, again and again and again. I gave up, and put a new cartridge in. No difference. So I head cleaned again and again and again, then the yellow had gone out of the colour cartridge. So I ended up binning the colour cartridge too, and put a new one in (despite there still being half of it left) head cleaned three more times, and hoo-bloody-ray, I could print my picture. Almost a sodding hour to print one A5 picture. It's always the same with that printer. If you use it daily, no problem, but as soon as it's been left a week or so, the ink won't come through. Apparently, it is a bad fault with Epsons. Must be why they are the cheapest cartridges to buy. I bought a Lexmark from Lidls a couple of years ago, a real bargain, or so I thought. Then I found out the replacement cartridges, not the pukka ones, but replicas were still £15 each, so as soon as the originals ran out, it went up in the loft, and is still there. It produced nowhere near as good a print as the Epson either.

So for the first time I can remember, I took Emma for a walk at 7.30 after tea, just down to the football field. Got soaking wet feet, and she didn't seem overly excited either, but I had to get out of here for half an hour.

Other than that, nothing today, thoroughly boring. Bugger all on tv tonight either. Now watching Paul McCartney trying to do something about the fur trade. Not sure I shall be able to watch it, already seen something that upset me, crates of dogs being chucked out of a lorry, to be killed for their skins. Bastards, I would kill anyone I saw doing that.
