Dinner tomorrow night with the lads will be fun

and a good way to start the weekend. Start early, play hard and get home at a reasonable hour is the plan........



Tune of the Day:  Broken Train    by Beck

Baselworld was fun and as expected

the most fun part was catching up with good people. It was pretty crowded and I guess that that is a good sign. Our dinner last night in Zürich was most enjoyable!



Tune of the Day:   Dachau Blues    by Captain Beefheart

And I have collected my new camera :-)

it is truly a "great leap forward for mankind" and I hope to be able to keep pace with it in the years to come. Sure, my last digital SLR was a fairly basic one but this is a huge difference.
With summer time starting on the weekend, there should be plenty of opportunities to do  some shooting..........


Tune of the Day:   Lucky Day Overture   by Tom Waits

I bought a new shirt

and yes, lumberjack is in!  :-) It was a cool, miserable day in Zürich yesterday and I'm sure that there would have been plenty of snow falling in the hills- it felt appropriate to be buying a checked shirt.
The weekend has been enjoyable-a nice dinner last night and watched part of TheBBC's excellent "Life On Earth" on DVD. Today the sun is shining again. Can you ask for more?


Tune of the Day:   Rock Lobster     by the B-52s

Week one in Geneva seems to have gone smoothly enough

and there will be a flurry of activity before Catherine departs for her next week at the coalface. I am hoping to get a few things done in town tomorrow and then looking forward to lamb for dinner- a little salad, some Turkish bread, hummus and a bottle of shiraz. Any questions?


Tune of the Day:  Agitation   by Erykah Badu

I was in the gym today, then at a watch show and

then spent some time processing a few photos. It will be an early start in the morning with Catherine having to be up and out the door with the sparrows........


Tune of the Day:   Mood Indigo    by Charles Mingus

Well, someone has a new job

and will be busy commuting back and forth between here and Geneva for 7 weeks. It will be an interesting time.......

My 50/1.4 is back home after a little maintenance

and I'm looking forward to testing it out tomorrow when I'm out with Barge to take a few photos. I managed to get a few things done in town this morning and we're having a nice steak from the bbq for dinner- sort of a little celebration   :-)
