I've just added a new static page "My Twitter" link:

I've still not made my mind up on twitter - but the 160 character blog posts are just right!

Had a walk along the Water of Leith at lunchtime where I took this photo:



If you look at this map - the picture was taken where the road crosses the river.

Roasting out side - the summer is here.

We visited Krakow (Poland) at the beginning of December, the city was lovely. The castle and churches were some of the best I've ever seen , of course nothing beats Milan cathedral.

This picture cracked me up:


It's Katie with Stefan Denis (AKA Paul Robinson) from Neighbours - yes Neighbours is crap, but we all watched it when we got back from school.

I wish I spent Christmas on Bondi beach :-)

House update:
I plumbed in the kitchen sink last night, so the kitchen will be finished tonight after a few coats of oil on the solid wood work top. Finally! Going to spend this weekend unpacking our stuff and getting ready to move in.

Hopefully going to get the phone and network sockets wired over the next few weeks, might get a cheap patch panel on ebay.

We also bought a second hand Apple Powerbook G4 for Christmas, this is my first Mac - it's tiny with 12in screen. Of course perfectly constructed and very light. Just right for surfing and skype. I'll blog a bit more about it once I get wireless going. I wonder if my spare PCMCIA wireless card will work with a Mac?

Here's a picture I just took of Edinburgh Castle:


It was take from my office window - there aren't many places you get a view like that. It has been used as a fortification for over 2000 (yes 2000) years - www.rampantscotland.com/visit/blvisitedincastle.htm

It sounds like Derek's having a good time cycling around Oz:

That's if he can get his tyres to stay up for more than 1/2 a day!
