Every once in a while a little strike o'luck does not hurt.....
A good day to everybody!
I mentioned earlier I had lost the memory card of my digital camera in a restaurant in Brescia, quite away from where I live, at the end of August, while celebrating me sweetie birthday with a whole bunch of good friends.
On that 4Gb wee card were stored all pictures I took since she presented me with a Nikon Coolpix for my birthday back in March. Since small digital cameras feature limited internal RAM, an additional SDHC storage card is a must and their price here really dropped in the last few months. I just bought an extra backup one for 9.90 Euros.
On that first card there were some nice pics I took on Aug. 19th at the Air & Space Museum at the historical Le Bourget airport in Paris, where the International Aeronautcs Expo is also held every spring. Le Bourget is the airport where Charles Lindberg landed after his first Atlantic crossing solo flight. It still features 1920's-1930's style airport buildings and it's very, very nice to visit.
I had meant to upload all the pictures I took in the Museum engine and Warbird section here at SOH, but the storage card was gone.
Not so.
I was slowly resignign to such loss, but a few days ago one of the friends who attended that dinner showed up with the little cloth pouch I used to keep both camera and storage card together. Foolishly, and I admit a wee happy on good wine for the several happy-birthday toasts we all did, I had put the camera in my shirt pocket and laid the pouch down somewhere without paying attention to it.
He lives in Brescia, he went back to that restaurant a few times until he could talk to the waiters who were on duty that Saturday night. They had found it laying on the chair I was sitting on and took it to the cashier, who, in turn, locked it up in the restaurant safe. Until those specific waiters could be talked to, no one among the rest of the restaurant staff could remember the episode and the cashier had completely forgotten about it.
As soon as I load the pictures in my pc and reduce them to the correct size, I'll happily upload them here for your enjoyment, as I had originally intended.
Boy, how happy I am!
Cheers!
