Sloe gin:
Ingredients
· 1lb/454gm of washed sloes
· 4 ozs/112gm of white granulated sugar
· 75cl bottle of medium quality gin
· Sterilised 1 litre (at least) Le Parfait jar or wide necked bottle
· 1-2 drops of almond essence
Method
· Wash sloes well and discard any bruised or rotten fruit. Prick fruit with a fork and place sloes in either a large Kilner/Le Parfait jar or a wide necked 1 litre bottle. Put several sloes in palm to prick them rather than picking them up one by one.
· Using a funnel, add the sugar and top up with gin to the rim.
· Add the almond essence.
· Shake every day until the sugar is dissolved and then store in a cool, dark place until you can resist it no longer (leave for at least three months, we usually let it mature for a year).
· Some people strain the grog (through muslin/jelly bag) after 3 months and bottle it, leaving it mature for six months. Some strain and bottle after a year.

Day 9/365
It's been a very busy day today. I had to go to my father-in-law's to collect my lens hood for my 50mm (it didn't have one - very old lens) and then to the post office to pick up a parcel, pay the VAT and an exorbitant admin charge of £8!
Then it was to the opticians for an eye test/contact lens check. It turns out that the reason I have not been getting on very well with my contact lenses recently is because my eyes were straining because of my need for reading glasses! I feel so old! My husband is now teasing me because he doesn't need them yet.
Then we went car shopping and had "fun" sorting things out with the bank.
Not much time left for photography so here's a rather boring picture of my new reading glasses on my current read. Taken with my trusty 50mm Pentax A lens that I am growing to love :) Shot in natural light from the window but with an ISO of 800 due to the rotten weather. Minimal processing - mainly a little noise reduction, but not much.

I don't have any 15mm(5/8") round bar on hand, and figured 1/2" was better than nothing. Welded 1/2" round bar to the hinge of the kickstand.
The Strain is filmed here in Toronto. And taggers have responded with back alley homages to the vampire show on FX-tv. Now in its second season, the horror TV summer series was created by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan.
This graphical interface adds a new dimension in ease-of-use. Interactive activities, such as geometry zeroing, sample loading, and setting temperature, can be performed at the test station. Important instrument status and test information such as temperature, gap, force and motor position are displayed. The touch-screen also provides easy access to instrument settings and diagnostic reporting. A keypad, at the base of the instrument, allows for easy positioning of the measurement head.
Received my radio trigger today finally. Snapped this quickly before putting him to bed. I think my £30 flash, £15 trigger and £5 mini soft box is going to improve things, as soon as I work out how to use 'em properly.
