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........

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!

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..........

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?

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?

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........

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   :-)
