On a cold and foggy morning,
Wipe my eyes and stop me yawning.
And my feet are nearly frozen,
Boil the tea and put some toast on.

Lyric by R. D. Davies, modified by me because it wasn't frosty this morning.

It has been so dull for so long. I haven't averaged a roll of film a month this year so I went out this once again dull morning.
Loaded that roll of Delta 400 that expired a year ago set at 800 to be processed in Microphen.
After the first few shots the sun came out. It didn't take long to cloud over again though.

Two photographers capture some wading birds (I guess) down by the Hard.
After a recent processing failure I remembered to add the developer to the water this time.

Summicron 50mm, Ilford HP5 at 400. Bellini EuroHC 1+31. October 2021.
Bellini film developers - I have tried the Duo Step (Diafine), Eco (Xtol) and now Euro HC (HC110).
I still have some Duo Step left, used all the Eco then saw the HC110 substitute on NTPhotoworks when re-ordering.
I think the HC is very nice, (not sure about shelf life for it though), it has only a 5 mins processing time for HP5 at 400.

This is frame 10 from the 36 exp roll of film shot on a walk earlier this month.
This couple walked a short distance, then stopped and looked at a phone, or some handheld device,
before walking a little further and stopping again to look at the device. They did this several times.
I wonder what it was.

Monkey Beach, the garden building and the tree fallen onto the sand as shown in previous posts.
That is 6 of the first 7 frames from a 36 exp roll of film now posted, none of which would normally have been selected to post, but
I thought it might be interesting to show a frame a day from the roll of film. No, don't worry, I won't be posting all 36 frames.
