Friday night was my second metal night of the year. It’s getting weird. Most of the metal I ever listen to at home is proto-metal, borderline rock, like Black Sabbath and Motörhead. But the bands are so damn committed and the fans so wholesome that it’s about the best live rock music experience you can have in CT. @bulletscript and @boargazmofficial absolutely rocked. The sound was truly deafening . And it was a fantastic evening out thanks to the invite from @sad_ivan.
I now have a contact for reasonable slide film processing in Cape Town (thanks to @goodweatherforducks). I have a plan for this beasty. I brought a couple of lenses from the Pentax 67 as well, with an adapter. Once a droolworthy piece of pro kit, the Pentax 645N is now seen as a “beginner’s” medium format camera (probably mostly because of its ’80s styling more than anything). It’s a brilliant camera and great fun to use.
A rare moment of sibling harmony from the gremmies.
On the way back from the shop, I stopped to talk to this handsome cat who was watching the world go by.
I’m not a big car person. But I do like a twilight Porsche 911.
And I shouldn’t keep Crumb from his fans. This is taken during his midday hard-burn sleep. Being this sleepy exhausts him and often requires him to take a post-sleep nap.
Trinket is also a big fan of the balcony in spring.
Skitten loves its new house. The upstairs carpeting is a neverending joy to it. And the balcony, especially now that it’s spring, is its pure delight.
Bun in repose
Spring is dropping hints all over the place and these guys are especially enjoying having balcony access.
