David's visit
David was home for the weekend,
travelling light thanks to Qantas.
Rob was there with Stacey,
very tired after the half-marathon
but cheered up immensely
after a couple of Lion Reds.
Kristina and her kids
came
and
all-in-all it was an enjoyable afternoon.

Venus & Wellington
Tuesday night I tried out the Toshiba laptop and managed to get a picture of Venus,
without tripping over the cat. I could get up at 3am and photograph Mars & Saturn.... one day.
Wednesday it was off to Wellington on this plane,
unfortunately had centre seats both ways.

Babysitting


The kids came for a couple of hours as K & W were out on occasion of W's birthday. Raisins kept them quiet for a very short while, especially searching under the sofa for the ones they dropped.

Walkies

We went for a walk in the local gardens today .....
and found ducks in that pond - well, it is spring.

First Pics

Like tree-tomatoes?

Once you get a digital camera, you need a way of showing them (after deleting the first 100 or so). Closeups seem reasonably successful.
