Spent the weekend in Durbs / PMB. Good to see the family. Probably will be awhile until we see them again. The family will be significantly bigger when we are next all together. Not spending Christmas in KZN is going to be weird and depressing. Looks like we will be having Christmas with Rose and Ted which will more than make up for not going down south.

Laurie and I are gearing up to paint the nursery and the passage this weekend. We spent last night putting masking tape around all the edges and marking out a middle line for the nursery. We are painting the room a pale yellow and blue. We bought a moon and stars stencil from Universal paints. It should look cool! Talking of painting - check out Dulux's colour picking tool. Very clever.

I sooo desperately want to upgrade our home PC, but it is just going to cost too much. Money has to go elsewhere right now. Real bummer.

Talking of money, Mark should be fitting our new study in a couple of weeks. A little later than we wanted but it will be great to have it in. I will post some pictures once it is in. We will be able to move the computer out of the nursery once it is done.

Morgan is acquited in Harare. So I should think. When will Zimababweans take back Zimbabwe?

I saw Fabio yesterday. He gave me an invite to his wedding. He is busy with many different things. Making a success of his life seems to be the foremost. That uy is soo focused.

I haven't finished reading this yet but it is a really good article. It details a 10 step approach for CxO's to rid themselves of MS lock-in.

Here is a novel idea from Opera. Use their browser in full screen mode to display presentations. You can create the presentations online or offline. It uses HTML, CSS and some Javascript to create the presentations. I am looking at a CSS editor to develop a Business Objects CSS. Worth a try.

This is where I stayed in the north of France when I was was there with Graham and Jenny

uShaka Marine World. 

Emma-Leigh's 4th birthday party at school. 

Delville Wood SA War Memorial. 

At the manoir. Wendy and Karen watching Graham open his birthday present. 

Laurie's dress for the BO exec dinner at the Hyatt. Smashing!! 

According to CNN poll Bush lost the first presidential debate hands down. What an idiot.

Still need to do some catching up on other matters. UK and Paris trip. need to post some pictures from Delville Wood SA war memorial. Pretty awesome stuff.

Getting myself up to speed on the BO products. Going slower than I would like.

The twins are on steriods. They are growing like crazy. Laurie is looking great but will not admit to that.

So many things that still need to be done around the house. Hopefully Mark is coming around on Saturday to measure up the study and the new compactum in the nursery.

We are going strawberry picking on Saturday with Gary and Judy. Should be fun.
