an LFGSS member will soon be opening a cafe near the middle of that map.

i have been in a lot of location houses, what always amazed me was that the owners could be bothered with the hassle of having a crew taking over the house for a day all for £600-£1200 when the house is 1-4million.
the houses were nearly always ‘posh’ and expensively furnished/fitted out.

i assumed it was so they can drop “we had Idris Elba in the other day” at their next dinner party.

No. as that’s not going to allow you to tweak the contrast by working in the colour or white’s/black’s/mids. a colour fill is likely to be flat and then if you curve it you have to remember to use luminosity mode as normal shifts the saturation and colour. selective colour allows finer control and HSB allows global colour shifts and brightness/saturation if needed. (could have got there without this layer)

there are plenty of ways to crack a nut though, i’m sure there are other ways than what i did that have the same or similar control.

just take the settings and apply to your master file, may be slightly off due to dragging it from a web page and sometimes that will shift colours but open the adjustment layers and see what i have done and do some tweaks.

2 adjustment layers i can send you the psd

it wouldd take me longer to write out how to do than actually do it.
send it to me and i’ll have a look and leave the adjustment layers on it so you cans how it’s done

Moser.

i don’t care how innovative those Horage watches are because they look like they are £300 at Argos.
for that money and something non mainstream that actually looks like a decent watch then Habring would get my money.

the walls are either brick/blockwork or stud/plasterboard.
they might reveal the ceiling board if they remodel the bathroom but knocking down walls isn’t really going to reveal anything and a tradesman would know if anything untoward gets revealed.
theres no asbestos reported in the communal area report apart from an encapsulated door of a store room and a ceiling panel in a bin store. it’s the not so dangerous type with the recommendation of ‘do not disturb’ and ‘monitor for deterioration’. Its better to just leave it in place than remove it.

theres an asbestos chrysotile sheet lining the ceiling in a void between kitchen and bathroom on the flat we still haven’t completed on and i know we will be exposing this and a bit of studwork will need to be fixed to it.
i just expect the builder to mask up and clean up when fixing the studwork then it will never be seen again until somebody else decides to redo the bathroom.
not worth making it an issue, especially as it’s not visible or testable as it’s not yet exposed. i only know it’s there because there was a hole in the wall of the bathroom in another flat i viewed and i poked my phone in to take a pic.

theres also a 50’s metal door to a drying cupboard which likely has it inside, i’ll unscrew the door from the hinges and leave it at the back of the garage, problem solved and nobody gets lung disease.

i wouldn’t automatically expect money off for things like a boiler or consumer unit. rotten purlins? bay window coming away from the wall? underpinning? well thats a different storey.

personally as a seller i wouldn’t entertain somebody asking for money off on something that is obvious to a buyer and not ££££’s to fix, and would tell them to jog on especially if there was lots of interest in the property.

"what, really?
that’s disappointing for sure.”

I don’t think so. the speakers in a mac mini/mac pro/mac studio are not really expected to be like a laptop. iMac or apple studio display (with it’s six speaker spatial audio)
it’s just there for a bing/bong/chime.

Well it’s a contender then on size and price.

Zoom isn’t a dealbreaker, i can use the laptop for that as i don’t have to do them that often.
there is a Beoplay A2 for about £100 which looks o.k. so will investigate that. the A1 is £220 which is a bit strong. especially as i’m not after battery or portability.

I want a small speaker/speakers for my mac studio but mainly just to listen to podcasts/streamed radio and the audio from youtube ‘how to’ videos.
i don’t want critical music listening (have a hi-fi and headphones/dac for that) it would be great if it had a mic so you could do zoom calls but not essential.
at the moment i have an old sonos which doesn’t do airplay so i used to update the podcasts feed on the mac and then use the sonos phone app to listen but as thats fiddly i just used the app on the laptop and listened on that but the MacBook audio was very good considering it’s size but the mac studio is not as good as it’s only meant for notification sounds/bongs/chimes/pings.

i don’t want a black and shiny monitor speaker that looks like it featured in the Tandy catalog but some unobtrusive whit/grey/black fabric covered thing.

i have a 15% off sonos upgrade so could get a new OneSLbut no idea how this will integrate/work as a computer speaker or a refurbed older Bose soundlink revolve?

there is the apple HomePod mini but evidently there is lag which is crap for watching video.

that’s insane, especially as now (with omicron) it’s vaccination that’s key especially in older age groups and the focus should be on that.
If there is no base of previous infections then it’s either stay locked down forever or vaccinate/boost and nearly everyone will get it but with relatively low death rates*
NZ kept it out and vaccinated nearly everyone, they have some of the highest case rates ever as no background immunity from infection but low deaths but they opened up knowing it was pointless trying to contain it forever.
HK had similar infection levels but too many deaths due to old people not getting vaccinated.

if they can force people to stay at home then they can compulsory vaccinate old people.

i hope for your sake they sort this out soon.

*in a highly vaccinated population with therapeutic treatment available the fatality rate for covid has now reached parity or is just below that of influenza having been 22x higher at the beginning of the pandemic.

collective noun is ‘a charm’ for obvious reasons

Access to Dogging spots probably.

As a one time resident on the edge of Romney Marsh FYI technically it is not “salt marsh” as it is not flooded by seawater, it does get flooded in winter with ‘splashes’ in the fields from rain but they drop the level of the canal and drains to take the excess and let it out at low tide via the river Rother.
It is mostly below sea level though.

“Seems weird to me... If I wear an ordinary watch I'm often annoyed by it interacting with my sleeve; I'd've thought that would be a common experience that would have a lot of folks looking for stuff on the thinner side, but apparently not...”

just get your shirtmaker to make the cuff 1 cm bigger

I do some work for some skincare brands, the big one that has real people in it’s ads but they are very strict on what’s allowed so i’m not a ‘Beauty/hair retoucher’ and it’s not my specialism, i do use frequency separation and i’m not a ‘destructive splodger’ though!

I’m also very busy this week so let me know if you get stuck rather than put me at the front of the queue.

Ektar 100. that was a very odd film, everyone i know tried it once then went back to VHC/NPS etc

yes i remember.
box is now back under a pile of other boxes but will be revealed once we move. there was 2 boxes unopened 10x8 velvia, i wonder if people will cut it to 5x4? i remember people doing this with a guillotine in the darkroom

i found my film stash the other day, a right mixed bag of mostly black and white and transparency 120, 5x4 and 10x8 plus some quickload fuji velvia and a 5x4 holder.
didn’t look at the dates but must be 10 years plus out of date minimum, does this stuff have any value?

No. i can tell you what they are in islington though.
14 days if you pay extra to have the fast service.
didn’t realise you could do this. maybe you can in Lewisham (assuming you are buying not selling.)
