Bummer! I hope you’ll shake the virus off sooner rather than later!

Thanks Fred.

So do I. The stupid thing about it is I feel totally fine until I start moving around.....and even then, its just motion and rubbing that hurts like heck!

Thanks Kevin.

Now, time for a confession. I think I might be the laggard. Last weekend I was supposed to print, but I felt a bit off. My plan then was tonight tomorrow. Unfortunately, there was a reason why I was a bit off. I've gotten the damn shingles! Down my back and side, so flapping my arms around at the moment is a bit painful!

So, this weekend is out for printing. Next weekend is out as well, so that pushes me into the last weekend of March. I should be good to go then.

If there is a delay, I will keep you well informed.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

My prints are made and will be in the post this Friday.

Kevin Caulfield · Mar 25, 2019

My prints are now in the hands of Australia Post so hopefully they will arrive by the deadline. Postage was much cheaper than usual with our smaller group.

hoffy · Mar 28, 2019

OK, good to hear guys.

I will try and get into the darkroom this weekend.

Michael W · Mar 29, 2019

Confirming that mine were posted today.

hoffy · Mar 30, 2019

OK, thanks for the heads up guys.

Well, the darkroom is now setup for some printing after dinner tonight and tomorrow morning if needed.

I have to admit, I am not feeling the level of enthusiasm that I have had in the past. I have just looked at my notes, which has reminded me that the last time I printed was for the print exchange in November last year.

If you're like me, once you enter your darkroom you'll be in your happy place and you will pump out those prints in no time.

2 hours in. Test strips are done. About to do the first print.

hoffy · Mar 30, 2019

and..... we're done. Finished up about 2 hours ago. Cleaned up, notes written, showered and ready for bed!

For once, I don't feel like a sack of spuds! Usually I'm pretty spent after time in the darkroom.

OK, I am now waiting on 1 more package. I can only assume that it won't be far away

I hope it's not mine you're waiting on? If it is then our mates at Australia Post have lost it.

hoffy · Apr 3, 2019

Kevin, yes I have yours.

Michael, I can only assume yours will be here soon

hoffy · Apr 8, 2019

Good news everybody!

Michael's prints arrived today.

I will package them up in the next few days (once I remember to print off my sheets) and ship them away.

CHeers

Michael W · Apr 8, 2019

Good news. I was going to ask if they had turned up. That's 7 working days from Sydney to Adelaide, including the post and delivery days. 11 days including weekends. I wonder if we are in the 19th century rather than the 21st.

hoffy · Apr 15, 2019

Hey Folks,

Forgot to mention. The photos are in the post. Hopefully you will see them before the week is out, but knowing Aust Post, maybe not....

Cheers
