my camera fell off a table at work at the beginning of November…

the viewfinder popped off… this camera doesn’t have the old-fashioned type of viewfinder, only the electronic version…

I tried to stick it back on, but the screen remained black… can’t really take photos when you can’t see what is in the viewer… was so upset that I didn’t even get a shot of the before, lol…

called the photo store only to discover I purchased the camera last September… so, no warranty, sigh…

then I called the camera hospital and sent it over by courier so that it could get repaired before the holiday season…

it has been a long time, but this morning it returned to the office… put my memory card back in and took a few photos right away…

so happy to have it back… I enjoy my iPhone camera but have really missed this one…

I am a very happy camper today;-)…

rushed home to be here in time for my appointment with MTS… they were coming to fix the PVR and I didn’t want to be late because it hasn’t been working since last Wednesday…

my new friend Anthony fixed the main PVR in the basement and then sorted out an issue I’ve been having with the main floor tv… he had already done some work online during the afternoon to help the wifi work better… finally, he had a recommendation to make the tv picture better so I need to pick up a different cable…

this little box is the solution to my viewing problems… hurray…

and there was a parcel in the mailbox… it had a few items for other people, plus lots of chocolate for me… and a package that I get to open on the first day of Advent;-)…

pretty fine day…

I’m not sure why but I love bendy buses…

I’ve ridden in them in Ottawa, when visiting my daughter and son-in-law… there are lots of them there…

there haven’t been many here until recently…

for whatever reason they’ve been driving down the street by our office and I got a photo the other day…

not sure why, but when I see them they make me smile…

this morning I spent some time in the garden before heading to work…

we’ve had a fair bit of rain over the last while and it is looking rather lush…

of course the grass needs to be cut, lol…

as I was sitting enjoying the view, the purple finch came by for a snack… such a beautiful bird… also has a lovely song…

I got a few good photos, then left my camera at work…

one of my amazing colleagues picked it up and brought it to me… this is particularly great as I don’t work tomorrow and was going to have to go in and get it;-)…

I am looking forward to spending some quality time in the garden tomorrow;-)…

this morning I walked around the garden to get a few photos of the daisies that had opened overnight…

and I discovered this wasp (I think)… it was sitting on the daisy and not moving… I took a number of photos and then started to wonder if it was alive…

as I took the last two photos I could see it breathing, so was really happy…

I am rather pleased with this photo because it has not been altered at all;-)…

I can’t think of a week that I’ve eaten out more…

Monday was an amazing catered dinner at the office…

Tuesday was lunch out with a good friend…

Wednesday, it was breakfast out, followed by pizza brought in for lunch…

today, had delicious homemade muffins and scones, wth fruit and cheese for breakfast, and went for lunch at Smith…

don’t have any plans for tomorrow, lol… how sad is that…

happy that my grandson has been able to add mowing my grass on Sunday’s to his schedule… he has a busy one now that he is working a full time job, a part time job, volunteering weekly, and participating in rowing events…

as he was mowing the back I went out to take a picture and he stopped so I couldn’t get him in the shot… brat…

I did catch him a couple of minutes later, lol…

nice to have the creeping Charlie and dandelion patch trimmed back…

had some fun in the garden on Saturday… the forecast was for thunderstorms and rain during the day so I got out early to plant the purchases from the day before…

trying to stick to the purple and white theme although the dahlia might be a bit on the pink side;-)…

three pots planted, a few baskets hung, the tomato and mandevilla placed… also brought out the hibiscus…

still need to bring out the Japanese Maple, but going to wait just a bit longer so it doesn’t struggle with the move…

it is looking pretty good… now just waiting to get that back flowerbed cleaned up…

missing my beloved as I work away in the yard…

busy day as I researched and decided on which version of iPhone X I would upgrade to…

walked up and down Polo Park a few times as I checked out the various options…

one of the things I was most interested in was the quality of the camera, as I take many photos…

also, size of the phone was important… I didn’t want something too large for my hand and that would feel uncomfortable…

and then there was the issue of the case… I have the most wonderful case now, but it isn’t available for an iPhone X…

I want something that doesn’t cover the front of the phone as I do take so many photos…

in the end I chose the iPhone X and purchased it from The Source… picked up a Huawei tablet and a Kate Spade cover…

I also found a case that holds a few credit cards… not sure yet which case I will use most, lol…

then I came home and figured out how to move my data from the old to the new…

even got the tablet working with all the apps I use… it will be fun to learn the android system…

looking forward to playing with these new toys;-)…

today we got the waterfall going in the pond…

to do it, we had to go and get a new pump, as apparently the old one died about the time in came out of the pond in the Fall…

the water is still murky and it is full of leaves…

going to have to do some research to find something that might dissolve some of the sludge…

but I am so happy to hear the sound of the running water…
