A fresh look for 2008

2008 is here, I found it strange to receive new year messages and see photos of the fireworks in Sydney and Auckland before New Years Eve day had even really started for us! We saw in the New Year with a group of friends in suburban Dublin as the city itself doesn’t do anything at all for New Years Eve which I think is a bit disappointing. Apparently they save their fireworks budget for St Patricks Day in a couple of months.

I’m dreaming of a kiwi Christmas…

I’m dreaming of a kiwi Christmas – a warm and sunny Christmas followed by long lazy days at the beach, bbq dinners and sunlight till late. It has been quite cold here this last week. Friday was the first day I’ve seen the canals icing over. It was -4C in the morning on Friday – brrrr! All this cold and the short hours of daylight have got me nostalgic for a good Kiwi summer.

New Photo Gallery

Sorry to keep you all waiting for the photos of our trip to Paris last weekend. I’ve been busy putting the final touches on a new bit of software that I’ve written to nicely display all our photos on this website. You can find the result via the “Our Photos” link above. The new gallery organises our photos via ‘tags’ rather than into discrete albums. Every time we take a photo, we download it from the camera into an application called F-Spot which organises the photos and lets us tag them with tags to describe the content.
