OK, it's been a while. Idleness has prevailed. But I have been lent a Nokia N73 and it has inspired me to get going again. Other inspirations include the need to pay a whacking great tax bill (thank you, Adam Hart-Davis! May your earth closet explode!).
I picked up the N73 last week and was overcome by how cool I was again. Until I ostentatiously pulled it out on the train and started installing my email settings, and this other guy hauled his out and he had obviously had it for weeks.
Anyway first impressions are that it is brilliant.
This morning, the dawn rose and there was not a cloud in the sky. What there was quite a lot of, however, was the vapour trails of the thousand and one economy jets that take off from Gatwick and Heathrow early on Sunday morning, gather over my house and fly off in a great relay race to the south. There was more vapour trail than sky. And the N73 caught it brilliantly.

By midday, however, grey had set in with a vengeance and and the weather was as cold and dull as Basingstoke on a bank holiday Monday. The 3.2 megapixel camera still caught every nuance of greyness when I went rowing at Bosham.
