I usually have my cam with me always, you never know when you get a good "picture", be it beautiful, as this shy cat, funny, crazy or sometimes sad.
And hence they sometimes have a shorter life than the ones Ingo has, the ones that usually just sit on the sideboard.
My white cam´s zoom lens doesn´t open properly anymore, so I went to Saturn (beam me up! ;-)...) to get it repaired as I have an insurance on it.
Easy, right. Put up that darn mask, hand everything over, sign, couple of days later receive an e-mail, go back ét voilà, the thing is good as new.
That was the plan.
Little did I know I first had to bypass Mars and Jupiter, what a journey!
Markings on the floor. I follow that. Without knowing they are invalid, they changed the system. After waiting patiently the "friendly" lady informed me about "my mistake" and told me where to go.
Whilst waiting this happened to two other customers, too. Her idea of fun :-(
In the end three of these ladies stood at the PC - the first one typed with one finger, really competent staff they have.
They called colleagues etc,etc. Other customers stared hateful at me. One of the ladies gave me back the battery and strap in a plastic bag.
Finally they got it done at the PC and panic broke loose. They were desperatly searching for something. More hateful looks at me.
Until one of these friendly gals (irony here) remembered she´d already given me battery and strap.
BOY!
It will take 2-3 weeks, thanks to Corinna.
Corinna feds me up!
Luckily I have the backup:
My pink one is long gone, but Ingo´s is nearly still "new".
Handcream and other stuff: Not available, that´s how GDR must´ve been!
Unlike those unmotivated ladies at Saturn I´m back in training.
To motivate myself: Best this week was 320%, 28325 steps, 17.5 km and 2596 calories burnt.
Henry?
He turns his back to Corinna!

17,5 km = 2596 calories???? Haha, lucky you. I'm just back from 12,32 km = 532 calories
Trying my best! :-)
...I always buy the insurance on my camera and it always pays off.
A cute cat.
Hope you get your camera back soon. Have a wonderful Sunday, Valerie
William, yes, shy, though.

It´ll take a while, Valerie, but thanks to Ingo it´s no problem :-)
A wonderful Sunday to you, too, Iris
Corrina sure makes it all frustrating, doesn't it? Hope the 2-3 is an over estimate of the time. Hugs-Erika
I had one of those Nikon Cool Pix cameras and when the battery died, it also killed the camera. It wouldn't even turn on. I'd only had it two weeks, so the place where I purchased it covered their own warranty for 90 days. I got a SECOND one, this time red. Did the same thing in about 4 weeks. Took it back and they had no more. The said they had ONE Nikon left, but it cost a lot more and it required FOUR AA batteries. They believed I wouldn't like it, but once I heard REAL batteries, not camera batteries, I was over the moon. I paid the difference between the one I had and my incredible Nikon I love, and now everyone is happy, including my rechargeable AA batteries!! Good luck getting yours fixed. I found this design of Nikon cameras to be defective.
Erika, Ido have Hubby´s, so no worries (I like mine better, though!)

Elizabeth, cams can be a pain in the neck! But remember what we had back then, it´s a bliss we have these days :-)
LOL, Henry's caption made me laugh out loud. :)
:-) that´s how you see him when you come from my home!
You made me laugh, too!
Lovely cat !! Have a great new week,
Big hugs, Caty
I used to carry a little camera like that with me everywhere, and one after another, they wore out somehow and were replaced with a better one -- better lenses, better images, more resolution, more zoom, etc. Now I just use the iPhone camera. Less to carry! Good luck with the repairs.
be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
What wonderful shop staff - NOT!! I hope your camera gets repaired okay. That ginger cat is cute :)
Caty, yes, a shy beauty!

Mae, I only have an old HUAWEI, so the camera it is...

Margaret, yes, that staff, I look forward meeting them again. NOT! But the cat, YES :-)
You burned a LOT of calories! I don't think I've burned any this week at all and not last week either. I'm getting lazy :(
I´ve been lazy way too long, too! It shows...
I agree re the virus, absolutely a pain in the....neck😀 Hope you get your camera back soon Iris, good thing you have backup, I wouldn't if mine started playing up 😱
Huh, Grace, no! No I cannot "live" without a cam anymore... If all goes bad I still´d have the "old" HUAWEI from 2017...
Waaaa I miss my digital camera days! I still think that there are instances that that camera is still better than my phone! Love the Henry photo so much hahaha
