FRAZZLED

Frazzled - completely exhausted

For a couple of days I haven’t really done any exercise and whilst I can’t do that much normally anyway, I do try to walk most days - but yesterday and Sunday were both “non” days as far as exercise was concerned.  Consequently, I have felt more tired than usual - yesterday I got up just before 10 a.m. and today it was even later - so today, I will be walking much more.  In fact, Mr. HCB has to go to the hospital for a follow-up appointment after his minor op in September and we have decided that we will walk there and back. 

My friend’s son has lent me his Sony RX100 Mk 2 camera for a week, so that I can try it before I buy a new smaller camera, so I played around with the settings and rather liked this photograph of the sunflower I blipped on the 7th and 21st October, and which has been sitting in a vase in the conservatory before it is consigned to the compost heap.  This was taken in the Illustration mode and I thought it summed up how I am feeling today.

There are a couple of other cameras I am looking at - the Canon G7X Mark II and the Panasonic Lumix LX100, but chatting with another friend on Facebook, she recommends the Nikon 1 J5 - so now I am completely confused.  

Whilst I want one that is small enough to go into my handbag, the Sony seems almost too small and doesn’t have a handgrip, so I feel it may slip out of my hands. 

So it’s back to the drawing board - there’s no rush, but Christmas is coming and so is my birthday - so I’d better keep looking.  

I may not be there yet
     but I’m closer 
          than I was 
               yesterday!

P.S.  Thank you to everyone who was concerned that I had a cold after they read yesterday’s Blip - I haven’t - it was just to illustrate the word “cold”.
