A morning trip into the countryside with Kevin reveals that the undergrowth is slowly wilting due to the lack of rain and the insect population is likely to be less evident over the coming weeks. Even so, we discovered a few of the usual suspects. As we both have the same make of tripod, we swapped our cameras across between tripods; which meant many of our photos looked very similar, except some of his look better which is a little upsetting. Must try harder.

Much excitement in the land of smiles as we await tomorrow’s shutdown of Bangkok by Suthep’s PDRC.

PDRC? Let’s start at the back.

C- Committee. The original plan was that the committee would comprise 27 of Suthep’s mates; but has now been expanded to around 400 “good” people that Suthep will choose. They will not obtain consensus by voting, so will presumably be placed in a large room and will shout at each other for months on end.

Regular readers will recall the very popular post titled: What’s better than an Olympus E-M1 camera?

Indeed it was so popular that I felt obliged to follow it up with: What’s better than two Olympus E-M1s?

And now, I am pleased to announce the latest in the series which, after much deliberation, I will call “What’s better than three Olympus E-M1s?”

And the answer is of course, four E-M1s:

Kevin is back in town and his first port of call was Big Camera to collect an E-M1 with the 12-40mm lens. He wants the lens, his wife wants a new camera (well, even if she doesn’t she is getting one, because Kevin wants the lens) and so another sale for my local camera shop.
