My camera started smoking on my last vacation so I decided it was time for a new one. Funny enough though in my new manual I read a section regarding "if your camera starts smoking when using the flash"! How odd......

Anyway I seem to be one of those people that's loyal to a brand. I asked around for advice regarding various point and shoot cameras and low and behold I bought another Canon. The last one held up famously and even fell into a raging fire without so much as a scratch or a burn mark! How durable :)

I love my new one though, it's super cute (pink...almost fuchsia really) and it's very tiny which I love! I wasn't in need of a big fancy camera so this one is perfect for me!

PP and I went to a fancy restaurant for Summerlicious which was delightful. I didn't get to use my new camera as whipping it out felt a bit gauche but we did snag photos of our food with my blackberry! Our waiter was hilarious and very friendly which was the opposite of what I was expecting. All of the reviews of this place said the waitstaff were snobby and the clientele even more so ........ pffff bullocks I say! Everyone was lovely, we even had a table right beside the piano and just our luck the musician was a chatty cathy! It did work to our advantage though as he played a bunch of PP's requests but he wouldn't stop talking to us. I didn't mind as he reminded me of Val Kilmer a la his Iceman days, PP however was like"WHY does this always happen to us???" Ha!
