High time I gave LitSL a little competition. So hereās Ollie, a couple of weeks ago, photographed by my stepdaughter. Since then heās had a haircut and looks like a different dog.

Aināt gonna be cheap but as Jim Steinman / Meatloaf (canāt remember which) said : āTwo out of three aināt badāā¦you can pick your fave twoā¦Iām just paying for the lot
Always need an extra coat with Farrow and Ball. Shit paint. Go Little Greene

Getting home and finding a parcel. Strange, canāt remember ordering anything. Open it and inside i find a pair of these.
Then remember when i got my new phone there was a freebie offer for the first thousand people that uploaded proof of purchase. I did, but expected to receive nothing. Sometimes itās nice to be wrong

Iāve got a pair of Sony MDR-XB950N1ā¦with noise reduction. Unfortunately it doesnāt work on Tinitus.

I have Tinitus in my left ear, plus about 80% hearing loss. Thought the Tinitus would drive me mad when i first got it, but itās amazing how the brain deals with these things. I donāt notice it now unless i think about it(thanks for thatš).
But the most amazing thing, it counters the hearing loss, so i feel like iām hearing equally from both ears(i thought iād never be able to use headphones again). Simply removing the right side headphone reminds me of reality, whilst making me so so thankful for the wonders and plasticity of the mind.
Headphones have stunning sound, but Sony are such knobs with the names(looks more like a code for a Swiss bank account).

Sony namesā¦I had to look on my headphones to read the model numberā¦havenāt a clue really but these are really nice phones if a little on the large size.
Iām a bit of a Sony nut from my Sony 1010 Amp in 1970 to my current Sony Walkman and the wireless headphones. Even my cameras are Sonys.
Iām with you on Sony, but only Walkman onwards.
I was going to ask you about this. Been thinking about getting a proper camera for a while(itāll be Sony if they compete at the level i need, thatās part of the reason i chose this phone). Mainly for when iām fishing, or with the daughter(we spend 90% of our time in the countryside).
I watch Kingfishers and Barn Owls quite a lot when fishing, plus other small wildlife and would love to get some decent shots(tried to film a Barn Owl capture prey 5m away on my last phone. Itās shit).
So any ideas?
Iād like something that could last if i get into it. Iām happy to upgrade lens if i do, but would like a camera that didnāt need changing if i go up a slight level. Is this possible for under Ā£500?
Have a look at thisā¦a tad under 500 with a good range of quality lenses.

Thanks. Just wondering if i can afford it before we go on holiday. 4mph on the Broads would be a perfect time to learn.
