The Bad News...

...is that (unbelievably) I've lost my digital camera. It was a lovely Canon Ixy 400 (or Ixus outside Japan), a present from Megumi a couple of years ago. Somehow it disappeared after a barbecue we had in our garden last week. I have no idea how it happened; the only logical thing is that it dropped out of a coat pocket while we were at the local supermarket. The immediate result is that there'll be no more photos here until I can afford another one...
