Holiday traffic into New York City.

Things haven’t been going so well lately, but it’s never easy to write about it. How do you describe your life when you barely recognise it yourself?
David’s been having major gastro-intestinal problems, and today we found out why: low blood counts. Last Wednesday the radiologist ordered some blood tests, and his platelets were reported to [...]

Todd Klassy has superb angled photographs, and his Architecture and Design set beckons me back to a city [...]

We flew over our neighbourhood today, and I took some photos of our house with David’s camera, which has a 10x zoom and image stabiliser. If you click on the left photo, you’ll see [...]
