Haha! What a fun image Jojonas :D

I didn't realise there was a 127 day, so thanks for highlighting this event.

By chance I started shooting a roll of 126 on 12th July (should have shot it on 12th June obviously), using a Kodak Instamatic 155X, and some flash cubes that I'd gathered together at great cost (expired film £1, Instamatic camera £2, 6 unused flash cubes £1, all from a local car boot sale over Spring) for my Sister's birthday. 

I thought this was the set up my Sister had in the 1970s when we were all teenagers. When I showed it to her, she said she only ever had the "small-thin cartridge film" so I think it was the 110 she used.  I have a couple of half used 110 cartridges, and a 110 camera somewhere, so will hunt those down.
