UK Christmas tv... wasn't it awful.

 

 Well it's the 27th Dec now and I've spent most of the last two days home, and some of it watching the Christmas telly.  Oh dear God!

 For a start most of it was old shows that we've seen a million times before.  Then I struggled to find ANYTHING to watch a lot of the time and watched Youtube.

 The Christmas Dr Who episode, was one of the worst stories I've seen, the Christmas star and Joy to the world were so obvious a plot, my cat got it (and I dont have a cat) The acting wasnt bad, but it was slow boring and felt cheap.  I get the feeling Russle T Davis has given up writing good scripts.

 Either way Dr Who needs to stop, its a sad ,shadow of the original series.  Time to rest it and take a good hard look at what made it great in the first place. (and sack Davis)

 So what did I watch, well apart from Youtube I found Dads army film 1971 I think, and I also watched the only good thing on TV over the whole of Christmas and boxing days.  Wallace and Gromit!

 Yes Wallace and bloody Gromit!  They out acted, out plotted, and were funnier than the rest of the Christmas telly put together.   Seriously, the only thing worth watching over Christmas were plasticine, what does that say about the state of the TV these days!

Assorted photos.

 A bit of a random mix of images, all shot on a Canon 6d2 and Sigma 50mm macro lens.

Merry Christmas to you all!

 

 From all of us at Waynesworldblog wishing you all, a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy new year.

 I hope your probalems are small and your presents big!

God bless and reagards. Wayne

 

 

Weird stuff again!

 

 I've mentioned the weird stuff that happens in my house before.  Well more stuff has gone missing.  This time it's two video microphones and a veiwfinder.

 I dont do a lot of video, but I do sometimes do Youtube videos, I mostly used the gopro, but thats got limitations.  Some some years ago I started using DSLR cameras for some videos, now like the older gopros these have issues.

 Sound on both isnt the best, so with that in mine I bought a microphone to go on top of a DSLR, had it for years, they I bought a clip on microphone for talking to the camera.  I aldo have a magnetic viewfinder, this go on the DSLR screen and gives you a magnified view.

 Well.... all three are missing.  I've search the house, gone through all my gear.  Buggered if I can find them.  Now luckly, I do have another microphone I bought last year, this is with a vlogging camera I got around the same time.  This is all still in it's own bag.

.

 The weird thing is most of the stuff thats gone missing is video related, the Bracket, my video like a few things with that, yes they turned up, in one case years later. But it's still odd.

 Plus we've had the lights playing up and a few times I though I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye.... No, I'm not totally bonkers, just close.

Anyway whatever it is, poltergiest or ?  It's a PITA.  I'm now fretting about my microphones, yes I could just replace them, but when I've done this before the originals turned up.

 

Cake

 Very tasty they were too!
