Deckchair update

A few words today, instead of the daily photo. I've been having a hard time with the daily photo this weekend because my nice, new digital SLR camera is on the fritz... again. You may remember that it died a few days after I got it, while I was in Namibia. Well, it seems to be having the same problem again. I'll phone customer service tomorrow and see what's up with the bloody thing. In the meantime, I thought I would just use the old Nikon point-and-shoot, but of course all of the rechargeable batteries I've got for that one are flat, and no longer seem to hold a charge. I'm very close to giving up on rechargeables for that camera. Anyway, I think I've got a couple in there, but have to get some new batteries to see what I've got, so it will be a couple of days.

Tonight was my first trip to the Deckchair cinema for the year. They were playing Psycho. Great flick. And it had a truly Deckchair cinema moment, right about the time that Norman's mother was killing the PI (I hope I'm not giving too much away by saying that). Anyway, I was watching the movie, minding my own business, when a possum came by and bit me on the toe. (For the North Americans, I'm not talking about an opossum, but one of the Australian possums, which are quite different, and usually a bit cute. Usually). It had been hanging around looking for leftover Indian food (they serve Indian food at this outdoor theater, and booze, or you can can bring in your own food), and apparently decided to go for some fresh meat. A bit surprising, particularly because of the movie we were watching, but no lasting damage. Only in Darwin...
