The paucity of writing traffic of late suggests that defectors are ~~defecating~~ defecting left, right and centre.

Oh well, it would be the final push towards making me take up the blessed Nikons again, rather than having something better to do. I simply have no interest in starting over in another pond; I'm relatively at home with the life in this one.

:-( and :-)

I'm not sure anyone is defecting anywhere, but rather they do have better things to do.

Quite. Keep politics where it belongs.

That's not politics Jeremy, that's flat joke.

Two pages and 26 replies without a single picture, time to break the spell:

But hey, in 52 minutes or thereabouts, it's Inspector Montalbano again, and more Sicily! I always feel I'm watching my son.

Sadly:

I am devastated to hear of Camilleri's death.
I hope his final Montalbano novel comes out soon (in English).

I will miss the Inspector deeply.

A problem with Montalbano is that in Spain it comes on via the BBC at 10p.m., and as the stories run for around two hours, by about two-thirds through I get so sleepy I lose track of which character is which.

The latest one gave me a sense of impending doom: there seemed to be ever less Sicily and more and more interiors, which may indicate a lowering of the budgets which isn't a good sign. I don't think the plots in the shows were all written by the book author but based upon his characters, which indicates that if they continue to sell well, the show could go on.

Much like Bond, then.

OH no. Oh yeah, those later Bond movies....Oh BOY : (

Yeah, Bond was pretty good, but Montalbano!!! Wow!!!

I read a few of the Bond books and didn't think much of them at all. However, I did like some of the girls in the movies, and the cars... especially the little Rootes Alpine. Playboy gave one to the Playmate of the year once, in pink, but it had a big American engine instead of the small UK one.They called it a Tiger, if memory serves. Connery was the best.

Taking a leaf out of Slobodan's book and getting back to the point of this thread: images.

Peace

Poverty and the Sadhu is a matter of choice, relinquishing as they do their wordly goods.

Fair enough, Keith. I'm sure there are compensations.

Rob C · « **Reply #2859 on:** July 22, 2019, 11:51:03 am »

I gave up my yacht in Monaco when I became a photographer.

Photography was the compensation. Believe that, you'll believe Barbie comes for tea.
