A1: I develop B&W at home, and C41/E6 gets dropped at my local lab, The Darkroom UK (Cheltenham, England).

For B&W I only ever use HC110 but really should branch out 😅

I can’t fathom how folks operate at these temps. Machines must struggle? Utility supplies. General clothing needs. Hearing homes? Everything must have to be so so insulated. 2 years ago we had -10C which is the lowest I’ve known, and stuff around our home (in UK) just broke down. Burst pipes etc.

Feels like a recipe for some kind of explosive 😅

They get dirtier than any other keyboard, but are easier to clean. Not sure if it balances out or not 😅

Wait… is that a single-origin rain-rinsed bean? Cus I’m only influenced if it is…

Woah, so it’s a full story he’s creating? It look great!

Ok thanks for checking and confirming, and I’d not seen that bit in the specs! Good spot. I might or might not tell the retailer, seems a bit picky 😅

Wow… is this like just one site or more or an accepted / official thing? When I say ‘very good’ over on my site, I mean it’s pretty much perfect but it’s 40 years old. Might need to change my grading system 😂

I understand. My best ever gig experience was A Hundred Days Off tour at Brixton Academy, Nov 2002. Perfect gig, perfect day, perfect friends, and now with a heavy dose of rose tinted nostalgia ☺️

Haven’t lived or even been there, but when I ready Chris Broad’s ‘Abroad in Japan’ book, loneliness was a constant theme. Seems to be loneliness at a societal level and not just certain individuals in certain circumstances. Perhaps it’s ’keeping one’s self to one’s self’ taken a bit too far?

Previously I’ve asked a seller to pack something and that I’ll arrange pick up with RM who bring a label on collection. Sometimes it’s the postage calculation, payment, printing and delivery to a postal point they dislike. Worth asking maybe 🤷🏻‍♂️

Done!
