... and about bloody time too!
Especially since I've been sat at the window in the living room since 9 am this morning. I've been awake since 7.30. At no point did the bell ring, this despite me having carefully sellotaped my name above the appropriate bell to ensure no comedy "didn't know what bell to ring so didn't bother" type shenanigans.
So it gets to 11.20 ish and I think hrm... maybe they sneaked up and stuck a postcard through when I went to pee (couldn't hold on any longer - had to)... so I go downstairs and open the door, and there, in the entryway, behind the front door and in front of our door, is a box from Amazon.
It's been here for god knows how long and I didn't know!!!
AAAARGH!
The battery could have been charged up by now!
*takes deep breath*
Whatever, it's here now, and that makes me very, very happy.
Update: First set of photos available at flickr.
Quit yer bloggin' and get snappin'. I want to see what you think of the Nikon. I'm considering upgrading my Canon EOS 3000V to a 350D.
Yay!
Am anxious to see what The Mighty Pix manages with her new toy. I hope this sees a resurgence in your photography postings...
And relax ...
I should tell you all that she has been displaying some camera snobbery towards me following my recent purchase of a Canon 350D :-)
Let the camera wars begin!
Hooray! Like AlanG, I can't wait to see what you create with your awesome new camera! I've actually just taken a break from digital and am playing with a film, Nikon F5, woot!

At last. A real camera with solid state film. No more of that silly rolled stuff.
Have fun with it. Like you won't..
You couldn't have gone for a better body at that money. And it's a Nikon - you've got taste, none of that Canon rubbish. I'm lucky enough to make a living from my Nikon; daresay you could to with a little tenacity and a small amount of luck. God knows, you've got the talent.
I'm envious. Makes my Fuji A204 look like a box Brownie.
Enjoy your weekend
Beautiful photos - including the obligatory cat (though I have a friend who campaigns for cat photos, as a really good way to get to learn your camera). The colours you get are wonderfully rich.
That's a lot of photos for a first set! I'm not surprised too as you must be super duper excited to have a DSLR. I know I would be *sigh*
Hi Pixy,
Do you rember me from 'Tube Relief' we ran between stations together.
I liked your circle line hike pics very much.
corrr! nice (:
