Just a quick note to prepare everyone for Impending Doom.  No, I’m not talking about the economic crisises, the fact that 5000 Londoners were left unemployed on Monday, global warming or the fact that, thanks to overnight inflation bread and eggs now cost about as much as petrol.  It’s something much more serious.

My camera seems to be dying.

I’ve replaced the battery three times in the last two weeks and the camera works for about two hours and then tells me the batteries are low (which is a bald-faced lie.  Or as bald-faced as a camera can be).  At least I can still get it to take pictures for now but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that after four years and the amount of stress I’ve put it through it’s starting to get a little run down.

Sad, though, because now that I’m buying bread and eggs at atrocious prices and giving my change to former bankers in the streets I won’t be able to get a new one any time soon.  Here’s to hoping it holds out through my next trip.  I’m thinking Ireland at the end of the month….
