There was not much to do medical wise and did in enjoying lie in, my temperature is hovering around the 36 c mark, nearly miss delivery from Nightingale Home Delivery Service which left my the front door, it was month supply of single use drainage night bags its something that most would not pinch. Also later on in the morning much to my surprise the repeat perscription that handed in at Halton branch Ash Trees Surgery was deliver.
Well once had some breakfast, starting playing the various camera bodies and lens that I own, working out which lens works best with each camera body.
Also spend a bit time playing with the Bridge Camera which I bought Autumn, its alot lighter than the Pentax camera bodies that I own and do have more cameras than bikes,
So spent enjoyable few hours going back and forwards between the house and garden trying out various combinations of lens and bodies, seeing what work and what did't work. Also try the ring flash with various lens to see if make a different to photo that I took but in most cases it made photo worst.
The photos in the above photo gallery are about the best I took.
After lunch, I had look at the stock portfolio and decide rebalance abit more away from America by selling my holding in Pershing Square Holdings Ltd for small profit and revesting into Blackrock Frontiers Investment Trust plc which invest in frontier markets, it does offer yield just under 5% and may be worth looking at if want something for the ISA or Pension.
One main mistakes that made so with the investing lark, is putting to much into Renewables and so decide to sell half my holding in Gore Street Energy Storage Fund and did make loss on this but the price on remaining holding may improve but its worth gamble if looking for something with high yield but you need to own research.
The funds from sell of my holding in Gore Street Energy Storage Fund I reinvested into Alliance Witan plc which is Investment Trust which internationaly through eleven different fund manager and as 5.1 billon of assets.
Once finished the investment stuff, I got sidetrack back to the photography, has I needed a quick release cable that would work with Pentax K-70 bodies that I own, I have try cheap ones before and don't usually last that long, after checking Pentax European website which was Pentax cable switch CS-310, I found one listed on Amazon which will deliver on Friday. Then I started looking at tripods and decided I like look of Leofoto Ranger Carbon Tripod which did come with ball head so added a K&F Concept 36mm Tripod Ball Head to the order and both of them are coming on Thursday (as its early Thursday morning)
Yes I got more tripods than bikes and probably using the tripods more than the bikes in the near future, its just fact of life when you going throught chemotherapy you keep your contact with other humans down to bare minimum, I am lucky got back garden with alsort of plants coming into flower which keep my interest in photography going!
The thing about photography once you taken the photo you need to edit them which spent good hour or so before starting writing this post.
