Things to do

• Phone tap dancing
• Sort car insurance and tax
• Post 120 film
• Phone opticians

Why is it that when you need a jiffy envelope there are none to be found, not in any cupboard, under the bed, or in any drawer. But when you don’t need one they’re everywhere? I WILL SEND OFF THESE FILMS. Hoping to get them back by the end of the month so I can decide whether or not to enter the Holgapalooza contest. Though I’m tempted to enter into the Holgaroid category anyway. I need to get me some more film, get out and take some more photos. I particularly want to take some fun time shots.

In other news, today is the day Donald made his journey south. I saw three minis on the way home from work. that’s just rubbing it in.

Finally decided to get around to developing my 120 films, though perhaps a Sunday before a bank holiday is not the best day. I did however find a reasonably priced mail order place – just need printer ink to print the order form. The hunt begins.

• Local Sainsbury’s (not Sainsbury’s Local) – None, the lady at the desk will be putting in a request.
• Argos – Not the right type, and also a type error in their catalogue
• Wilkos – No, and the rather unhelpful chap who knew nothing about the ‘Ink Section’ repeated the numbers after me with the impression that I was making them up. I then asked about the refills but of course the only person in the store that knew even the slightest about those wasn’t in today. Well, I’m there. I did it, I actually found myself mumbling on my way to the door about how useless staff are.
• Smith’s – Closed
• Tesco – Where I know full well the ones I want are stocked is not within a walkable distance.

Bring on the Fiat 500.
