Supposed to be moving today (rented flat)***
Got a call last night. They:-
Don't have the keys*
Don't have the alarm code
Don't have an up to date Gas safety certificate
Haven't cleared the garden**
Haven't cleared the shed***
Haven't replaced the security lighting
Haven't done the 'tenant's leaving check'
Haven't had the place professionally cleaned - as promised.

Other than those 'minor hiccups' (their words) I'm all set!

*The previous tenant moved out on the 3rd of May - and took the keys with her - which begs the question of when were they going to clean/leaving check/gas check if they KNEW they hadn't got the keys?
**Full of slatwall

I dunno - subcontracted or whatever?
Basically I've got a venue and they're tied into Carlsberg for their ale, so if I want anything off their menu it'll cost extra, so it's worth me doing something from it instead.

But I'm starting to think that I'll take the extra hit, as they all look awful. Hobgoblin, Adnams ... ugh. Lumpy, muddy, old man's beer.

I have a good lens that I could use for macro shooting with extension tubes.

( Kroney, Wed 28 May 2014, 10:41, Reply)

Tricky one
Ideally would see if you can try before buying, the "proper" macro lens is likely to be better, but would like to see how much better before parting with the dosh.
Same applies (or used to) with teleconverters, if you don't have a need for a long lens so often it's a cheap way of getting one, but not quite as good quality.
