Still having some problems with my local Post Office accepting SmartStamp Special Delivery items. I took along a copy of the email from Royal Mail that states they have to accept them so they did but they weren’t terribly happy.
Lots of ‘trick or treaters’ this evening!
A fairly relaxing day – Sunday lunch at home for the first time in a number of weeks.
A customer contacted me this evening about issues with PayPal payments, I’m hoping to make the move soon to SecPay for payments from my on-line order pages. SecPay should provide a smoother interface for my customers, most of whom do not have issues with PayPal but I know from my own experiences when becoming a verified merchant that some of their process can take a little time.
One advantage of the ‘wedding season’ coming to an end is that I now have a number of work free Saturdays.
Took Paul to the garage to collect his 4×4 now that it’s been serviced.
Made up a few orders for customers.
Started work on the next batch of albums.

Met my son Paul at Chris Babbage’s garage in Cardiff this morning. Paul is having his 4×4 serviced, went to MacDonalds for breakfast with Paul on the way back home. 🙂
Had another delivery from Jorgensen today, which means I have more albums to make up tomorrow.
Paul’s truck will be ready tomorrow morning so I’ll be dropping him down to the garage.

Decided that as I worked through the weekend and Monday that I would have a relaxing day today.
Visited the retail complex at Talbot Green, did some mainly window shopping.
Royal Mail have replied that my local Post Office have to accept Special Delivery items where the postage has been created with SmartStamp – hope my local Post Office now know this as well!
No Welsh class this evening as it’s half term.

I completed processing the images from Saturday’s wedding.
Met with a lovely couple this evening who are getting married next year at Margam Park – a lovely location.

Well it’s certainly one of the wetest days of the year!
Monday is usually my quiet day but today I’ve been continuing to process the images from Saturday’s wedding. I’ve now uploaded the web gallery, produced the DVD slideshow and created the thumbnail prints ready to send to the lab for printing.

Spent most of the day processing the images from Stuart and Karen’s wedding which was at Bryngarw House.
Here are a couple of images from Stuart and Karen’s wedding.
Perishability in a photograph is important in a picture. If a photograph looks perishable we say, “Gee, I’m glad I have that moment”. – John Loengard, “Pictures Under Discussion”
Fortunately the weather was fine and mild today.
I photographed Stuart and Karen’s wedding at Bryngarw House today and went back there this evening for some photographs of the evening party.
I’ve downloaded all the files from the camera and converted the raw files to jpegs.
