Training for the Flower Show

Yesterday was Roy's birthday, so we had dinner out. Midway through the second glass of wine I knew that I'd had enough, and I couldn't finish dinner either. I guess my stomach really is shrinking.

Today I have a mild food-and-drink hangover and have given myself permission for a slow start, but I did get up at 5:30 so as not to upset the rhythm I've started. I woke up with an odd "I'm going to clench on you" feeling in a muscle in the center back, higher than I usually have back things, but it subsided without clenching. I don't like this...

It's rainy here today. There is virtually no snow left on the rooftops that I can see from my office window.

I believe my Flower Show volunteer button will allow me to get in for setup, so I think I'll spend my lunch hour (or something like it) on the show floor.

UPS robocalled me today to say they would be delivering a package that requires a signature "some time between 8 am and 7 pm." I am hoping they come at their usual time, which is between 11 and 1, so that I can leave for the show floor with a clear conscience.

Hee.

The lens went on just like a Nikon lens. It feels just like a Nikon. I handed it to Roy and he went ooooh just from the way it feels.

My new D90, fresh out of the box. The batteries are charging downstairs.

And now I'm off to photograph Flower Show setup with my trusty Kodak pocket camera.

Squee!

I pointed. I zoomified. I shot. I am happy.
