Seeing as you have had lots of photos

I decided today I will give a proper blog post.
Update my life as such. Online anyway.
Obviously the most exciting thing that has happened to me recently is the new camera, love love LOVE it.
Even if I have no idea how to use it.  That nicely seagues into the next exciting topic, I have entered into an educational agreement, a Diploma in Digital Photography (for beginners) no less. 6 months and I'll be flash as with my camera apparently.... not holding out high hopes but anything is better than nothing!
Things are ticking along nicely, gearing up for a chilly winter in our new cosy house, so much better than the yukky cold draughty s.box of this time last year! And in talking about the wee s.box, I feel for the new owners, They have already had to start lighting the fire to keep warm. 
Am on the hunt for some new recipes, hated my round crockpot, was way too small and the shape of it wouldnt allow for lamb shanks to sit nicely, so lo and behold, Mitre 10 had a special on their 3.5 lt oval crockpots, so that is going to be the most used kitchen appliance this winter, perhaps along with the pizza stone!
Am looking forward to heading off up to Auckland for my holiday next week, no doubt will have exciting adventures to report on my return.
Meanwhile, enjoy your weekend everyone and keep warm and if you are one of those people (ie Jenny) that have come to damage this week, take it easy!!!!!
