It’s Thursday, so I’m studying.

As we were off backpacking last week I missed a class, so I had to read two week’s lesson notes today to bring myself up to date. It’s good to see the auto focus on the Nikon still doesn’t consistently focus when using the remote (that was sarcasm by the way).

Much better is the fact I managed to get a 40% off deal on a down backpacking quilt, so now I should be set for camping and backpacking in the warmer weather; I found my 0°F bag a little on the toasty side even when the outside temperature got below 32°F. I’m hoping it will be alright, but in principle it is a similar design to the Big Agnes bags we originally bought, and I found them very cold. I’ll have to think of some way of trying it out next week.

Note to self: when you are writing a ‘self portrait a day’ blog, it helps to remember to include the self portrait. D’oh!
