You know some days everything just goes your way? Today was that day. I've been all woeful and misery-laden since I got home cause my camera got broken the last day I was in Spain. Alex dropped it down some stairs and the pictures were all fuzzy and there appeared to be a hair or crack on all of them. I was SO devasted, there seemed no way I could afford a new one. I'd been saving for a while for a new summer wardrobe for Alex, who has outgrown all last years things, so I went to the bank today to get my money and found a lot more than I was expecting in my account. Delayed pay from some work I did a while ago. Which was lovely surprise #1. Then I got to the clothes shop and found a big, big sale. So I got all the stuff I needed for Alex at about half the cost I'd saved. Awesome surprise #2. So I went to the camera shop and found this luscious camera. It was grossly reduced (marvellous surprise #3) because it was a return, nothing the matter with it and still under guarantee. It's silver and shiny and oh-so-sexy. Yes, you heard me. It's a hot camera. It's entirely the same as the one in the pic, but silver. It's all chunky and solid but really light, and I love it so much. I stroked the box affectionately all the way home.
Yay for awesome Mondays :D

After some time thinking about it, the picture did finally decide to appear :-)) Yayyyyy!!! That's the kind of Monday I like!! How come I never get them :-((
Nice camera. Is it a full DSLR? 15x zoom??? I want!!! I want!! I have what I consider to be one of the best PAS digitals on the market, but I'd kill for more zoom.

wow! looks like an awesome camera that you're going to have a lot of fun with. :)

Mitch, it's not a full DSLR, they were beautiful but just sooo expensive. 15x zoom is just such awesomeness though. I'm letting it charge up and tomorrow morning I'm going to go flower hunting and see how well it works :D My mondays usually suck too, hope a good one comes your way soon ;) It cost less than half what it's retailing at and it doesn't look to have even been used, I'm thrilled to bits. The one problem is that it uses Pro Duo memory sticks, as opposed to the normal ones, they're pretty expensive and there wasn't one included with the camera. I can't afford one yet! But it does have a small amount of internal memory which will have to do for a while :)

tallyknight wrote on Jun 2

It was meant to be! That's totally how I see it. Days like that don't come around too often, I musta had some good karma stored up :D

tallyknight wrote on Jun 2

Ahh, I take it back, about the memory stick, I just found a cheap one of those too.
I'm grinning so big today.

whoo hoo!

I should probably go play the lottery or something. Although maybe that would be pushing the good karma too far...

I loved reading your blog...it so reminded me of me on Friday. It was my birthday and all I wanted was a Sony A200 DSLR camera...I wanted this camera for what seemed like an age and I had to have it lol...I dreamt about it on most nights...imagined the shots I could take and where I could go to get those shots (I do have a life really lol!) Anyway I finally got it on Friday with a whopping £100.00 off the price (good haggling technique!) And I take it everywhere with me....

Pleeeeeeeaaaaase send me some of that good karma...I could do with a Monday like that ((((hugs))))

tallyknight wrote on Jun 2

Nice camera! Glad you got it, sounds like you don't need the karma! :)
