Last Sunday was very much a day of sunshine and showers.

That's the River Wye at Builth Wells.  Very pretty!

Taken whilst we were faffing a bit waiting to go kayaking   But there were also lots of rainbows spotted on the drive over - which seemed to be so close to the car that you could almost have touched them if you stuck your hand out of the window.  No sign of any pots of gold, unfortunately!

I am ill   Now on day 7 of some horrible tummy bug that may or may not have been caused by taking a little swim in the River Taff... (although feeling much better today, which is good )

Anyway, Friday morning I got a phone call from the bank.  After going through the usual "can you confirm your address?" "yes, but first can you confirm you're actually the bank?" and phoning them back malarkey, it turns out they'd flagged up some fraudulent transactions

On the one hand, I'm very pleased they spotted it and acted so fast (card cancelled immediately, new one has already turned up), but on the other hand I'm slightly worried about how my card details got into the hands of Bad People. hmm

I like fireworks.  I also really like taking photos of fireworks:

From last Saturday night, right outside my apartment (extra bonus: didn't have to pay the fiver to get in, hah)

20 minute display, over the water.  Which was probably very pretty if you could actually see the reflections, but unfortunately the dock is surrounded by a lot of tall buildings, and there were a lot of people there.  Good thing fireworks go upwards really! (side note: why on earth you try and watch from under an umbrella?!)

Photos require a camera with manual shutter speed control - ie the Canon, which is in semi retirement due to its battery level reporting weirdness

Anyway, 3 sets of batteries (2 of which were the same, stupid camera...) and I managed to get 98 shots.  Mostly crap ones, but that's ok!  Just means it takes a bit longer to decide which ones are worth keeping
