    think I've worked out the problem with the camera cable - the casing is too thick! Off to find a knife :cool:

    Yikes sounds a bit drastic, wouldn't it be easier to take it back to the shop, with the camera, to see if you can get a replacement one that fits. :confused:

    Camera is ancient, and I had to try three places to get the cable (USB A to mini-B 5 pin). It took two seconds to get it to fit, whereas taking it back would have been another half hour at least - and I wouldn't have had a cable.

    Anyway, pics now being uploaded for first job. Hopefully I'll get the other stuff done today too!

    Aaaah I see now. A little bit ingenuity works well :D

    Flying wise I have decluttered the bin of rubbish in the living room into the big bin outside. Washed up two mugs, and taken the wet washing out of the machine.
