Sorry I kind of ghosted.

I've had a fun couple of years with family passing away, substantial hits to my income, laptops dying, and all the joy that the last couple of years of lockdowns in melbourne brought.

On the plus side, my old canon is still going (just) my eldest daughter is taking an interest, my income is improving so I can start nerding out on a new kit and we are heading back towards weather that makes aimless wanders more enjoyable!
