Another gadget bites the dust....... just call me the Gadgenator

So, after a great weekend away (staying in a tent no less), I finally made it safely home from the Cornbury Music Festival. I was dishevelled, had bits of grass in most orifices, and had had to wear a hat for two and a half days to hide my unwashed hair and stop things nesting in it; but hey, it was nothing that a long shower couldn't fix.

If only all problems were so easy to overcome. Whilst at the Cornbury Music Festival, I suffered from a dose of muppetry and managed to lose my pink 10MB Casio Exilim camera, containing all my blog photographs.

One minute I had it in my hand ready to take a photograph of the festival car-park (yep, that's what you're missing out on folks), the next I got slightly distracted by a child walking past randomly dressed as a gingerbread man, and then when I looked, my camera had disappeared.

Evidently, safely holding onto an object whilst looking at a giant gingerbread man was a multi-task too far. To be frank I was quite gutted about it because I now no longer possessed any gadget with the ability to take pictures, particularly after I dropped my iPhone down the toilet a few weeks ago. Even worse than that, I had lost all the pictures I had taken at the festival especially for this blog.

It's not all doom and gloom though. On a positive note, if I was a normal human being, I would have been bereft by my loss. But, because I suffer mishaps on a relatively frequent basis, it is almost like I have immunised myself against the distress. My superhero power is Gadgenating.

So, what's a girl to do? Well, I have already approached friends who were at the festival and asked if they could send me the pictures that they took so at least I can cobble together a blog posting, but that might take a while and doesn't solve the problem of not having a camera.

I am a bit hesitant to put in another insurance claim because I am already on first name terms with all the people at the insurance company. In fact if I were to get married, I would probably invite some of them, despite the fact my premiums are starting to edge in the direction of the National Debt.

Hell, I think I am going to have to resort to fashioning a pinhole camera from a shoebox, which means that all my blog pictures will be upside down. Bummer.

Any suggestions to this recent crisis will be gratefully accepted.
