'poto'!  Is that an exotic form of 'herbal tobacco'? :-)

A 3-km run?  Mate!  I'm all for fitness but that exhausted me just thinking
about it!  (I hope it doen't rain next week!) :-)

I've only had my camera for less than three-months - and while I like the
idea of upgrading, I'd rather do so after I've had a fair degree of use
from
the thing!  :-)

BTW!  I get in to Singapore at about 19.00 hrs on Monday, (Tricky arrives
at
the same time, but on Wednesday!)  If it's OK with you, how about catching
up on the Tuesday pm during the cocktail hour?  And J-M?  And Angelo?  :-)
