camera troubles

what a disappointment. my new camera arrived like 2 hours ago and immediately i was like "eh...". i then tried it out but was turned off even more. the size, the feel, the grip, the quality of the LCD screen...   it was a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ70.  my old one broke a couple weeks ago, seemed like a mechanical issue jamming the lens, but we were unable to fix it. and its not for lack of trying.

so in about 30 seconds i knew i would not be able to live with the Panasonic, thought about my options, packed it up and returned it to Amazon's drop off point. at least i know what im getting instead, so thats positive? Sony RX-100III.

weather has been amazing.
Clapham park last saturday, had a sushi lunch with Can (doctor was unfortunately working, but we picnicced with him on monday)



Guardian:  Theresa May 'blocking requests' to allow in more overseas doctors for NHS
this immigration BS makes me FURIOUS. especially when the idiocy is crippling the NHS. all the things i hear and read... i PERSONALLY know people who found a job and all but then the work visa application was hit by the quota. "sorry, no." the hospital that hired him tried 2 consecutive months and then got tired. he has had to find a new job and just try again with better luck. its MADDENING.

dinner last night with Allan & other friends @ Kintan. they have a cool concept where you grill your own meat. not super original but not common either, nice activity.
