It's been another busy week

and with not enough sleep, it was easy to grab a quick nap this afternoon after a few beers with lunch  :-) I took some photos in town, dropped the colour film off for developing and then shopped before coming back home. The great weather continues and I will be out and about again tomorrow.

Went to another great Viewfinder event on Friday night. Pedro was not only impressive for his photography but also turned out to be quite the musician as well. Bravo!

Catherine is away and won't be back until tomorrow afternoon. I can play the Dead Kennedys as loud as I like.


Tune of the Day: California über Alles   by Dead Kennedys

On holiday, at home for the past week but very slack on the blog front

at least I have been out taking a few photos!

We had some friends over for a bbq on Tuesday evening- lots of laughs, good food and wine and an enjoyable evening and we will be lighting the bbq again tomorrow night. It appears that, for this week at least, we may be having a little summer after all  :-)

I am planning on shooting some more colour film tomorrow and then continuing with my b/w work in the hope of getting something worthwhile to add to the selection for my upcoming show.


Tune of the Day:  Rock Lobster   by   The B52s

It is Saturday and surprise, surprise.....

I woke this morning to grey skies and rain :-( We are having guests for dinner this evening and then I have an early start tomorrow morning to meet up with a friend and head off to watch the Tour de France whizz by. Fingers crossed that the weather is a little kinder in the morning- I will have my camera with me and hope to take plenty of photos.
In any case, it is a change of scenery from the office.
The British Open is looking good after 36 holes- some of the stars have drifted to the top of the Leaderboard and some of the stars are packing bags and heading home. At least they were blessed with wind and rain on day 2. Long may it continue!
How are all of the Mooses doing out there?

Dinner was lots of fun- thanks gentlemen!

I certainly enjoyed the company and the wines and I hope that the others found the food to be acceptable...... all in all, a great evening. Relatively early to bed and up this morning to get started on the Sunday chores before heading off to the gym. The snow lying around this morning was a surprise but luckily it wasn't a problem at all and around here most of it seems to have disappeared during the day.
It is going to be another tough week- the banking sector of the economy is still struggling under the weight of the problems that have emerged in the last 18 months and it is really starting to take a toll in other areas. The city of Zürich looked like a ghost town when I was in there yesterday- sure it is holiday time and some people are away, but there were very few shoppers around. Hopefully things will begin to improve sooner rather than later and we can get on with our lives before too much more damage is done to morale and bank balances.
Hopefully the Moose Man is all tuned up and ready to rock in Singapore.......

The good citizens of Sydney shouldn't complain about rain>>

but the wet weather was a disappointment when Campbell's Rugby Grand Final was postponed today :-( We haven't yet been informed of the next date, but hope that the guys will stay fit and that the Tigers will prevail in the end.
It is end of month and Catherine has loads to do in the office- another visit for a few hours today should get things up-to-date and then we can relax properly this afternoon/ evening. I plan on going to the gym to do some more training so that I can hopefully march up and down a few hills during our holidays.
Excitement is building in Sydney with a couple of young lads having birthdays next month- I have spoken with the powers that be and I know that there will be some fun unwrapping on September 10th.
I haven't heard yet if the Moose managed to get his connecting flight to Las Vegas after a couple of delays on Friday- one way or another it will be a Buck's Party to remember (or forget!?!?). Good luck Moose.
