Bad Card! Naughty!

This isn't the actual culprit, but it's exactly like it. 

On the 30th, I was happily snapping down by the harbour.  The shutter button stopped working.  "Card err", the camera said.  So I took out the card, put it back in again, wiped the contacts, put it in.  Still "card err".  I tried to read it in the computer when I got home.  Didn't even recognise it.  I'd bought two cards in mid-September, so was a bit irked that one had failed so quickly.

Luckily, only two days' photos were lost, and I'm not upset because they probably weren't very good anyway. And the card had a lifetime guarantee, so I was able to return it to Tesco and get a replacement straightaway.
