Good morning Jeff

Food fit for a king!

Yesterday I treated myself to new mirrorless camera with 4K video cam abilities, arriving today.

I forgot to order an extra battery and a memory card.

As your a professional photographer, can you recommend any cards up to the task?

Morning Phil, morning all

Bright sunny start here this morning but a few degrees cooler than of late.

I'm off to do the grocery shopping this morning and I'm planning on making a beef stew in the crockpot to slowly cook ready for Tea

I've always used Sandisk cards. Get the fastest ones your camera can handle, especially if you're shooting 4K video.
Crucial and Kingston memory cards are well regarded as well.
Be careful where you purchase them from as fake/counterfeit ones are rife!

I bet you're going to have a lot of fun using your new camera. I'm looking forward to seeing your results

Thank you Jeff

Memory card slots: up to 128GB

Slot one is for UHS-II V90
Slot two is for UHS-I

I am not sure how to guard against buying fake cards, so far I have not been caught out.

I will be looking at the brands you recommend, thank you very much.

Have a great day 😀

The graft was made in Australia and it took a minimum of 2 weeks to be made from the time of measurement in London to the time of arriving at the hospital where I had the operation.

Even though the graft was synthetic and custom made, it still had to be made to fit once I had been opened up. This was to make sure the fitting was robust and it would last for the next 30 plus years without leaking or needing further repairs.

I wonder where your head new part is being made. I think you said it’s made in the USA, which could explain the delay.

Unfortunately either you or Fiona will have to remain proactive and keep ringing up your hospital.

I don’t believe everything the hospital says particularly when it comes to explaining delays.

Just keep ringing them up and keep a record of who you speak to and what they say. Tell them how you really need the operation, how life changing it’s going to be and hopefully they will come through for you, but do keep them on your side.

Keep the faith.

You’re correct Phil, it is supposed to come from USA.

Innit great! Almost bairn myself hauling the washing machine in and out over the weekend before deciding to swap it with the dishwasher, Saturday evening I shoved it as far back into position as I could until I got the extended water hose so I could swap it. Ging got home Sunday morning, that's fine there

11:20 update: still no sign of the hormone treatment stuff. Going to see if I can speak to the GP practice pharmacist on Monday.

Rather than phoning the practice pharmacist went straight to the horse's mouth, phoned the endocrine department at the Royal Infirmary. Waiting for a call back.

They put some hair gel doodah on me hair that feels like syrup & I smell like a big girls blouse.
