Louise's university friend got married

This weekend Louise took me to one of her friend's wedding. We had a really good time, lunch with Dan and Amanda, then the ceremony, drinks, a very nice dinner, good speaches and then the dance. I only took pictures in the evening.

Here are Dan and Amanda looking good:



The same enjoying the music:

They treated us to a night time balloon launch:



Congratulations Alison and Simon!

I've fixed my JVC GR-D70E camcorder

The poor thing died the first time i powered it up after recharging the battery on my return from Val d'Annivier. I googled, found a forum, identified the fault, fixed it. It's now working again!

The main fuse blew up. It's a 2A, 32V fuse soldered on the main board. Here's a picture:



If you can't see much, it's because it's a surface mounted component measuring around 2x1x1 millimeters. I simply soldered it on top of the original one. A broken fuse is an open circuit, and i thought this would be safer than to try to remove the original fuse and possibly damage the board.

I would like to thank John from the pechorin forum, and Colin who let me use his RS account to purchase the replacement fuse.

Louise in Paris

We had a lovely crepe bretonne and Louise befriended a "piaf":



Then we went to the Eiffel tower, and queued:



We didn't have time to go to the top,



Louise really liked the domed roof:



Then in the evening, we just relaxed while i tried the new flash

2 weeks ago I was in an unguarded mountain hut near Zermatt:



It's taking me a long time to process the pictures, not to mention the film. I should also write a commentary...
