Here I've met my limit of my English:

"And keep a bottle of baby as prone in close proximity..."

A bottle of baby champange?! "a bottle of baby as prone in"?!

Just knowing one language is a full-time occupation!

So translation, please!

Deeds today: 

Re-rebulit my kayak cart, again into a camera and tripod cart, but version III.

I'll go into detail if you want ...

More: 

Talked to a very old friend - we get in contact every ten years, or so.

I like to use LED lighting when I shoot macro, so, after looking through my 
hoard of odd bits (scrounging?), a lot of creative thinking, and some soldering, 
two arrays can now use one battery pack - a set of six AA batteries - great! 
And it doesn't matter which array carries the batteries inside, another bonus.

So I seem to be on the mend, but tire easily!
