New Camera

Posted on January 4, 2008 by steve

My new camera arrived yesterday.  Had a play around with it and it takes ok pictures.  Took it in the shower and took some pics of the water coming from the shower head.  They were interesting.  Next step will be to read the manual.

Happy New Year

Posted on December 31, 2007 by steve

Happy New Year to all readers. I was just watching BBC World News where they showed the fireworks in Sidney Harbour. Always spectacular. It is our intention to be there one year on Dignity watching the New Year fireworks from the harbour. But that’s a few years away.

Being a mathematician, and probably a little autistic (according to some), I like to count things. And a New Year allows one to Count Down. In counting down, words and concepts change their meaning. What was once “next” becomes “this”. What was once off in the distant future becomes “next”. “This year” which one day describes all that has happened, the following day, represents all that’s to come.

To make each year interesting and new requires the will to make it so. I hope 2008 brings you what you’re looking for. For us, we have some ideas for 2008 which will be revealed in time.

Have a good one.  In the meantime, here is a YouTube clip from last year showing the fireworks in Sidney.

New Toy for February

Posted on December 30, 2007 by steve

I ordered a new camera yesterday with our trip in February in mind – the Olympus Stylus 770 SW.  Perhaps not the best picture taker but it does work underwater (to a depth of 32 feet / 10 meters), can be dropped and sat on.  When you’re bumming about beaches, this is the sort of camera you need.  Hopefully this will mean plenty of interesting (including underwater) shots from our Feb trip which is now (let me check) just 48 days away.

Flights Changed

Posted on December 25, 2007 by steve

If you are paying very close attention you’ll notice my home page countdown to our vacation has lost 15 minutes.  That is because we have been informed of changes to our flight itinerary – the upshot being we’ll arrive 15 minutes earlier than originally expected.  Time for an extra Painkiller.
