First film for 30 years with a Nikon FM2 and Ilford HP5

I haven’t used film for my photography since the 1990’s. When digital photography started, I left film behind. Now 30 years later, with AI ruining photography, it is time to get back into film. I wanted a camera that was manual, that gave me full control without the need for even a battery to operate it. After a Drunken search one night on YouTube and Ebay I found a Nikon FM2, it came with a 28mm F2.8 Zeiss Jena II manual focus lens. I had no real idea if it still worked, it was made from  1982 to 2001 making it at least 23 years old and possible as old as 42 years, so it may well not work anymore. I bought some 400 ISO film from Analogue Wonderland, loaded it up and out I went on my first film photography day for 30 years.
