A loaf of white bread I made at home, with a couple of slices already taken by my wife. She left the heel for me. Sony A7II with Zeiss Sonnar 55/1.8 http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/CoVid-19/CV19_Homemade+white+bread.jpg.html ?-------------------------------------- A non-working 1976 Hamilton Masterpiece watch that I'm trying to repair. It was a presentation watch from Pacific Gas and Electric to a member of my wife's extended family that year.? When he died, his wife got my wife's uncle to arrange his burial over here in Ireland and gave him the watch as a memento. I've had it for many years on a to-do list, but with CoVid decided it was one of the jobs to-actually-do. When I glued the nut on, I thought - misled by the internet - that it was a stuck screw back, but it transpired to be a monocoque one with movement access through the watch front once the glass is removed. Am I going to buy the specialist crystal remover claw? Probably not...

Fuji X100S http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/CoVid-19/CV19_house+070420.jpg.html ?--------------------------------------- The cat thinks I made this just for her. It's actually a raised bed for my wife's vegetable gardening.

Monkstown is full of names that echo London's Belgravia as the same families owned land on both sides of the Irish Sea.

Fuji X100S http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/CoVid-19/CV19_Monkstown+Road.jpg.html ? -------------------------------------- Empty Monkstown Road with just myself. I shivered just as the shutter clicked. It increased my admiration of the sitters for the early photographers with their lengthy exposure times.
