At least you managed to get the trees in focus

One of the features of modern life. The geeks who sell you stuff think they know better than you what you want. So they take away the controls you have and they do the job instead. And the trees are in focus and your subject isn’t.
I’m looking at putting solar panels on the roof and at having a battery. I’ve spent a while just reading people’s online moans about how if you buy a Powerwall then Tesla insist on you connecting it to the internet because they want to be in charge of it. Because Elon Knows Best. As Google want to retain control of the Android phone I paid them for. As Microsoft have insisted for decades on fiddling with Windows when it suits them. As if I needed reasons other than Musk for not buying a Tesla product..
(If anyone’s interested in continuing about solar then obviously that subject belongs in the Energy thread.)
That’s one hell of a car booty.

Made it out to our first car show of the year, even if it was only 1/2 mile down the road!
Our daughter loved it, going out in “Daddys old red car” as well as some classic tractors, a fire engine and a bouncy castle!

Aye, well. It was windy, raining and I wasn’t getting wet and muddy knees.

Boston’s idea of a good nite [sic] out:
Killed a couple of hours while I waited for the Hilux to FINALLY get its replacement airbag!
Lunch with Sam at a slightly more upmarket garden centre, too: bonus!

Looks classy 
Golf is already the least adventurous thing anyone can do - doing it indoors is a multiplicatory factor for that! 
Did you climb the tower ? If not then we must do that next time I’m over.
Those stalls are 14th/15th century so it’s unlikely that anyone who saw it back then had ever seen a real lion. That probably includes the bloke who carved it. I guess he was paid to carve the legs too, so he had to fit them in somewhere.
