I developed a roll of film last evening

for the first time since we moved house. It was a great feeling and I hope that I am able to get on and do it more often now. Previously I was shooting and developing at least one roll per week- it would be nice to get back into that sort of rhythm.

We have been busy printing photos for tomorrow nights Africa Night at the Viewfinder Center- beautiful big pictures of all sorts of wild animals. Promises to be a lot of fun and it has definitely started me thinking about going along on a safari next year.

Not a hugely productive

Sunday, but we at least managed to get a couple of things done, went for a walk, had a nice dinner and watched a movie. I'm hearing that it is even going to be warmer this coming week. Look out!

I finished another roll of 120 film this evening

and hope to get it developed tomorrow. Having a quiet evening and we have been watching the storms roll in. Things haven't cooled down too much just yet, but there has been lightning and a little rain. More of that to come tomorrow.
It was good to have a chat on the phone with Bushpig Nolan yesterday. We decided that the last time we spoke was 18 years ago- he should be on the list for a catch-up beer next time I make it back to Sydney.

Put your hand up if you are not having a birthday this month

as it certainly looks as if everyone is! We are having a guest for dinner tomorrow evening and we may even sit out on the balcony- now that is something special in the summer that never was.

Lots of the small lakes around here are frozen

but sadly the Zürisee remains very liquid. I was in the city today taking a few photos (yup it was cold) and was hoping to spot some ice....... but alas

Don't let anyone ever tell you

that beer doesn't taste good! I had my first beer of the year this evening and together with a plate of sushi, it was a most enjoyable dinner. Thanks to The Chief and Patty!

Not only did the Moose family come to visit last summer....

they're now threatening to make Sweden unsafe this year as well. I don't know how much of this I can put up with.
Cold and windy outside- perfect evening to be in here and not doing very much at all.

It has been a relaxed Sunday

and I have signed up for another 1 week Photo Challenge with the crew from Nikon Cafe. With the short days, that will certainly keep me busy until next Sunday!
I'm still not sure if we are going to have a proper winter here...... there is a rumour that it will be somewhat cooler this coming week- but I will believe that when I feel it.

Bumped into a buddy in town today

took some photos, did a bit of shopping and managed to get home dry. Can't complain about that on a day which was meant to be miserable.
Didn't make it to the PhotoMarathon..... but I have moved one step closer to developing my own black and white films.
