Not so, you have enlightened me no end and now when you leave the flat for a wedding photo shoot you leave me behind full of anxious intrepidation for you... God what if it rains, what if everyone ignores your request to stand where you want them to because you are not bossy enough....what if the backdrops are littered with bins and lamposts...what if.....from now on I will be the fretting photographers wife! As if you would believe that eh!!

I have a suggestion, Why dont we just bugger off to India on our bikes and leave this techno-babble for the kids to waste their time on.See I've not gone too Germaine Greer on you yet,but I bet you will be glad to have a bit of a feminist around when it comes to lugging camping gear around in our panniers cycling up to some hill station in the Himalayas in 40 degree heat. So where did toastphotography disappear too I wonder? in fact where do all the websites go when they are not on the thier silver screen? is there some super highway pull in for time off, where they wait and catch a silent movie and a bag of [micro]chips until they are called back to duty again? I think its time for me to go back to my study books again as I'm talking nonsense, talking of nonsense.. its all about the Avant-Garde in Art at the moment....or better still go watch a movie and get a bag of chips and wait until I'm beckoned by toast to respond to his wailings in emailings. Farewell!! Poor Mr Toast,
