Urghi lurgi

The weekend wasn't all it was supposed to be, what with me coming down with lurgi on Thursday.  I did manage the Batman double header at the IMAX, though I paid for it health-wise the rest of the weekend, and ended up off work on the Monday.

Yesterday, I took a day off, and we headed into town to sort out the visas for India.  We were there for the place opening, and there was no-one else there, so 20 minutes later, we'd had our photos taken, paid the photographer, had our forms checked, paid for the visas, and been told that there was a lot to see where we were going the first two weeks, and it's going to be a busy time cramming it all in.  The last week in Kerela will be needed to relax after the hectic first two weeks.  That's making us look forward to it all the more.

I plan to take the (early) birthday present I got from Karen, a Fuji Finepix S4200, and get an utter shitload of photos.  You have been warned.

This morning it was a bit on the nippy side when I left the house to cycle to work. For the first time, there was frost on the cars. It was nice though. Still managed to use shorts, but I don't think the day's far off when the running leggings will be worn under the shorts. I reckon this is the way to go, as if they get wet, they dry really quickly, so for a commute to/from work, they'll be ideal.

I was going to stick my cheapo camera in the rucksack today in case I saw any photo opertunities, but the batteries were dead and I'd no AAA's in the house. that's the only problem with this camera, it takes two AAA's, so the battery life is pretty poor. Fortunately we have a decent one, and I'll use the camera in my phone instead for any random commute pics. It's actually better than the cheapo camera anyway.
