Lazy Purchases

Ice-in-a-bag Cheese-in-a-bag

What is it with people who buy lazy products? I’m talking ready frozen ice cubes! Do people not know how to freeze water themselves anymore? I accept a one of purchase for a party is a good idea for bulk purposes, but the scale which this is produced in must mean people buy it on a weekly basis. Similarly I have a problem with ready grated cheese! I’m sure home grated cheese must taste better than processed muck, yet supermarkets move tonnes of the stuff! Its bad enough people don’t make their own cheese anymore from fresh milk squeezed by hand from the cow’s udder, now some people can’t grate it either! I suppose it comes down to the companies who manufacture cheese graters being scared of personal injury lawyers… watch your fingers!

My first attempt at outdoor photography with a Canon EOS400D. Practice is needed but I’m happy with the initial results. Expect more soon :-)

Today I installed the new Windows Live Weblogger and this is my first attempt at using it. Kinda dubious as to how its going to look. I have no problems with using the normal method but figured this (if it works) could make things easier!

We’ll soon find out…
