For our other LUG friends, it is Philippe's birthday on the 17th. Join me in wishing him well. Speaking of birthdays, a member of the Reid family is one year older on the 16th. Elizabeth, happy birthday and tell dad, forget the camera, you want a BMW! Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/e http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/ Pick up your camera and make the best photo you can. -----Original Message----- Subject: [Leica] OT: Your tube - M8 - Friendship on the LUG A day in the life of ... TUBE I had found a notice in my mailbox. Went to the post office to collect the un-ordered parcel. Picked up a tube that looked like a bazooka. Opened it carefully when back home. Discovered a roll of real thick photographic paper, Consisting of beautiful, marvellous XXL prints From the remotest and kangarooest part of the world, Where typically swans are 18% grey, Where clouds shine, .And beer is served cool. M8 All made with an M8 ! Each sharp, luminous, vivid, gorgeous, stunning, breathtaking, and so marvellous, WOWssss ! So no way to doubt the capabilities of the M8 now, if ever I had. FRIENDSHIP All hand-printed by a wonderful so distant and yet and so close LUGger friend, without my knowledge of his intents. Isn't this one bloke cheeky? Perfect timing too, Old Chap :-) . This was a wonderful surprise, and will make my day, weekend, and months to come when framed and on the wall. Alice is also the addressee of a fabonderfuous colourful bouquet, but doesn't know yet. Thank you Geoff, thank you, thank you. We'll have a series of toast to you tonight, along with a couple of these oysters ;-) Avec toute mon amiti? reconnaissante and my congratulations on your art. Philippe
