No cameras or lenses

Very quiet week - after Monday took the cameras and lenses to be cleaned and checked up. Not wanting to leave smears or other stuff to the sensors, and I wouldn't even know where to start with cleaning the lenses..

Took them in on Tuesday, not trusting the Royal Mail took the train to Stoke-On-Trent about 40 minutes away from home and delivered them to the shop myself.

For the first time having some advantage of the CPS membership, as that provides a quicker turn-around time for the gear to be returned to me. Their aim is to do it three days, although today being Friday and not hearing anything from them yet - and them being closed over the weekend, can't see myself getting them before Monday/Tuesday next week.

Has felt very strange not to have the gear ready to 'go' in the back - so used to the bag being ready and full of camera gear.

This has been the first time in about two years when I am totally without a camera - and it has been refreshing.

Now that the weekend is getting closer - would be nice to have them 'just incase' something would turn-up. Luckily the teams I mostly photograph are playing away this week so I am not missing them.

Few things next week - so hope that there is nothing major wrong with the gear, otherwise I might without it for quite some time to come (not to even mention the cost of things.. :-( )
