PhotoPoint has got the Pentax K20D in stock. Damn them! It's soooooo very tempting... a good thing, probably, that the 15,000 kr / 1000 € for the body is a little bit less tempting. *hopes either for a price reduction in the not too far future or for the temptation to pass*
Still, 'tis a thing of beauty... *sighs and tries to remember she still "needs" a macro lens and possibly the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens and possibly an external flash before even thinking about a new body*
Back at work since yesterday. Still coughing, but it seems to be mostly limited to the evening - had just one bad coughing fit at work, right before leaving. Feeling remarkably fine otherwise, I think the rest did me good. Besides, we finally have some snow again - snow and daylight! It was still light when I got home yesterday, around 6 pm. Wonderful. And at -1°C (and with practically no wind) it was really pleasant.

Sounds like lovely weather. It's very windy here today. I don't like very windy weather.

Er. Yes, Matron. :-D
It's windier here too today than it looked (and considerably windier than yesterday) but still not too bad. And very pretty! All this lovely new fresh snow.

Glad you're feeling better. Hopefully the cough is getting the message that it needs to scram. Are you taking any icky coughing syrup or leaving it to its own devices?
Also, ~points up~ what Dicky said (minus the Matron bit; I'll let her have that :P).
Whee, snow!

The weather-proofing is really what tempts me the most. True, the new K200D is also weather-proof (the only entry-level DSLR to have that) but if I was already to consider a new body, the K100D -> K200D jump would be a bit too insignificant. I'd prefer to go a step higher in that case. *sighs*

I took some ACC granules (the sort you mix into water or juice) the other day but have mostly been leaving it alone now. It doesn't seem to be too dry. I expect it will pass eventually.
Snow is very pretty. And we're getting more of it, yay!

Hope the coughing doesn't keep you up at night, and goes away soon.
*wants own snow*

I wish I remembered what the predecessor to the K20D cost when it first came out. Around the same, I think, and it's some 30% cheaper now.
There is always the temptation of newer ones! I think it'll largely depend on just how much mum is going to want a DSLR of her own.
The coughing has been kind to me at night. No problems with that at all.
I could send you a small box of snow but I fear it might melt on the way.

I hate coughs. When I get one it sticks for like a month. Hope you feel better soon dear =)

Coughs can be annoying like that, yes. I have more problems with dry ones - at least this one hasn't been very bad.

I'm relatively fine now though - seems to get a bit worse in the evenings, but I'm quite hopeful it'll pass on its own in a few days.

I'm glad you're feeling better! Isn't the extended daylight wonderful? It makes me happy and hopeful, even if there are still huge piles of snow out the windows... Makes me think that spring will actually arrive at some point. Whee!
