You make me feel really old.  I have great-granddaughters that age and older.

Thanks, Jim. That granddaughter (8) is a real poser.

That's unfortunate, Chris.? I've always figured those mechanisms to be
rather delicate.

I looked a little deeper at your images.? The one of your granddaughter
in the Japanese garden is very nicely done.

We?ve just visited one son and his family near Blandford Forum, staying at a 
cracking campsite nearby.  We had our two granddaughters for a BBQ lunch one 
day and I decided to take a group shot using my Lumix TZ200 on a mini tripod.

I had set it up when one granddaughter decided to sit down and knocked the 
table, tipping the camera and tripod into the dirt nearby, about 3ft lower.

I picked it up with a little grumpiness but saw that the lens wasn?t dirty and 
all would be well . . . then I noticed that the tiny flash, which I had 
extended, was bent.  It would not stow.  I kept my good-humoured demeanour, 
outwardly at least, so as to avoid spoiling the party, but I felt very sad.

Although the girl had knocked the table, I should have foreseen that a 
precipitous fall would be possible . . .

I?ll get it repaired, I?m sure.
