Who's a silly boy then?

Yesterday I had a walk down to Rock Walk where work is going on to make the cliff face safe. No nasty 20 tonne boulders falling down onto the passing traffic, bad for business. There is a team down there cutting back the vegetation before installing nets to hold everything in place, not as dramatic as earlier in the year when 50 foot trees were coming down but who knows. Then at the far end I noticed two workers hanging half way down the cliff drilling a hole in a precarious looking boulder. If that came down it would make a big dint in the side of a passing bus. The drill bit was 8 feet long and they had finished drilling and were trying to remove the drill and were having a little difficulty. The had to hold the drill and push away from the cliff with their feet. There they were swinging around all over the place 50 feet up in the air. Dramatic enough. So out came the camera, lens cap off, switch on, raise to eye, look through viewfinder. Instead of a clear picture of two struggling workers swinging high above the road all I got was a note in the viewfinder saying, "Who's a silly boy then?"

Actually what it said was slightly more blunt and to the point and no less annoying for that, "No Card." I had downloaded some earlier photos and left the memory card in the card reader. "What a mistake to make?"
