I’ve always liked how understated Moores is, just chilling in the general supermarket bins, at a fair price. I have trouble paying twice the price for half as much in the premium section. But good to know the Mot Belgian is worth a try if I ever feel extravagant 😊

I have to try the chocolate now, so much temptation.

I haven't tried, only because I can't go past their Salted Caramel. It really is in a different class to all others.

I had one of those about 50 years ago as I struggled through my compulsory one year of Latin! Long gone but your photo triggered the memory. It’s funny, but to this day I still get some use out of that one year of classes, Latin roots do explain a lot 😊

our 'family' of 2 sub goes from $29.99 to $39.99, +33%. With other recent bumps the total monthly streaming bill needs pruning somewhere.

Waimairi Beach! The tide does go a long way in and out so that does sound like a good possibility.

I’m finding it useful to keep up with headlines, following news outlets. Also lots of good creatives. So far it seems still a pretty civil place. Have been thinking of you at the centre of craziness lately, hope you are surviving ok. Just nuts. I think we’ll keep hiding away down here a bit longer

Thanks, I was about 15 at the time and no pro! But I did find myself working as a photographer 20 years later.

Yeah, I’ve got a heap of negatives I took around the Square as a school kid learning photography. Scanning them now 50 years later is pretty fun, biggest changes are fashions and cars!

That building does evoke memories of when the Square was alive. I even have a photo I took as a kid in the 70’s with that building in its heyday

Thanks, one of those lucky observations while travelling. We had a few weeks in UK, Spain and Portugal and I was surprised how often stairwells featured in my favourite images 😊

It’s brilliant all right. I noticed how little camera movement there is, almost every frame works as a beautifully composed still image.

#2 has a flow that is just right, it stands out to me. All nice work though 😊

The transition to EVs is inevitable, and economically viable already. It is just so hard to understand why this group seem so intent on signalling disdain for what is a win-win movement. Especially when some of them quietly own EVs themselves.

Yes, I remembered that lens as very sharp but maybe expectations have changed! I do want to try it with a roll of film in my old camera, but do appreciate just how good the new mirrorless gear is
