This is just a quick post to wish a very happy new year from all of my family to all of yours. May 2012 be better than 2011, no matter how good or bad your 2011 was.

The world's best lens cap
Browsing Amazon today, looking at some camera gear, I came across what was being described as an open-box discount on a Sony lens cap.
Now, I’m a Canon guy, and always have been, so I don’t know all that much about Sony’s cameras, how good they are, whether they’re good value for money et cetera.
However, as far as I can tell this is just a lens cap, a relatively simple piece of plastic with a release mechanism to keep it attached to the lens.
So, to me it seems a little expensive. But hey, like it said, I don’t know about Sony cameras.
We had the Xmas tree delivered yesterday. Yeah, delivered. We don’t own a car, so we figured it would be just as easy to get one brought to our door as it would be to hire a car and go get one, making a mess of a ZipCar in the process.
To be honest, it’s worked out really rather well; whoever picked out our tree did a better job than we would have done.
We subscribe to the ‘throw baubles and tinsel at it until there’s only a bit of green left’ method of decorating Xmas trees. The only problem currently is that some of the chocolate I put on there keeps falling off.
We usually put some of the little Green & Blacks bars onto the tree – a tradition shamelessly stolen from my parents. As this is not really the intended use for this chocolate, I have to add some string to them to hang them on the tree. This, apparently, I did not do that well this year, as the string keeps coming off and the chocolates fall – but they’re not falling out of the bottom, so I guess the tree is eating them.
Anyway, I guess what I’m saying is I hope your Xmas is on track. Two weeks to go!
Today some bright spark decided it would be a good idea to drive a lorry into the Strand Underpass.
“Into” being the operative word.
You can probably guess the end result of this little exercise. It looked a whole lot like this:
