Saying Goodbye
This post is to say a goodbye to two old friends. Two family pets that unfortunately had to be put down last week.
Sheeba
Sheeba was my mother-in-law’s Belgian Shepherd dog. She was about 12 years old and was from the RSPCA. An absolutely love dog (although big) with some quirky ways. She loved her own space, but also loved being around people.
Sheeba, you’ll be missed.
Copper
The day after Sheeba passed, my mum phoned to say she was taking Copper to the vet as he was unwell too. Copper was a ginger cat who was about 17 yrs old. He did have a twin but he was killed 12 years ago by a car. Copper was the most docile cat you’d ever meet. He’d love being groomed and would sit on your lap & pur for hours. Unfortunately, in the end he had trouble with his kidneys & lungs so it was best to have him put down.
Goodbye Copper.
Also…
I’m also saying good bye to 2 other faithful friends; however these aren’t living, breathing people or animals.
The first is my Canon 50mm prime lens. I pulled my camera out of the bag (a proper padded camera bag) a week or so ago and found the 50mm lens had caved in somehow. The focus part had been pushed inside the actual lens and it didn’t look too good. I only had to touch it and the thing fell into two pieces.
I loved my 50mm lens. It took such pin sharp photos and was incredible in low light situations. So much so, the moment I got home; I jumped onto Amazon & ordered a new one.
The second goodbye is to my faithful XBox 360. Originally a birthday present back in 2006, it’s lasted me well. I’ve spent many hours playing many games & having a hell of a lot of fun.
In 2007, it RROD‘d on me. As it was in warranty, it went back to Microsoft who replaced the motherboard. A week after receiving my XBox back, it RROD’d again. This time, sent back to Microsoft for a new DVD drive & a new motherboard.
It worked fine for 3 years and 3 days until I switched it on on Tuesday and it again produced the RROD. It was out of warranty & Microsoft wanted £100 to repair. So instead, I’ve ordered a new New XBox 360. Fingers crossed I’ll have it on launch.
Goodbye old friend’s. You’ll be missed!
