Hiya guys...if anyone even still reads these!

Well a quarter of the year has passed already, and I'm busy as ever.  Work takes up a huge portion of my time these days, with family stuff taking up the rest.  Which leaves little time for going out and taking pictures just for fun.

I've been on a couple of trips recently, to Singapore just before Christmas, and a brief visit to Hawaii.  I don't know about Waikiki, but I definitely could visit Maui again!  If you can do it, I definitely recommend doing a helicopter flight on Maui; it is just amazing to see stuff from the air.  You get a totally different perspective of the geography, and an appreciation of the volcanic history of the islands.  My next few trips over the year are going to include Kangaroo Island and Perth in the near future, and London and Paris later in year, which I'm a bit excited about.  Haven't been to London for about 6 yrs, and the last time I was in Paris I hadn't even reached puberty!!!!  Will be travelling with some girlfriends, so we're planning to do some serious sightseeing and shopping as well as bringing a trusty camera.  Hmmm maybe I need some new luggage....

The other major addition to the household has been a furry one.  Hobbes the cat is still not happy about it, but hopefully there will be some detente in the future.  Digby is a 16wk old miniature Schnauzer...you know the dogs that have beards and eyebrows   He's a very active little guy, and definitely gives you a workout when you go for a walk.  He's friendly to everyone, loves kids patting him, and is such a super-chick magnet it is not funny.  Not a day goes by that someone comes up to us when we're out and comments on how cute he is.  Single men out there, get a puppy!

Anyway, that's my dull life in a nutshell.  How are you lot doing and what are you up to??
