I am anxiously awaiting the delivery of my shiny new Olympus E-620 camera! Even though I am sure we can't afford such luxury in the aftermath of house extensions, my husband said it can be my Xmas and birthday gift. I am delirious! I have been lusting after a DSLR camera for years and never been able to justify the cost. We have a perfectly adequate 4MP Kodak camera for family photos and a rather nice Sony DVR for movie taking. But the DSLR is purely a toy for me; birds and landscapes and eventually macro. I can hardly believe it! Did I mention it has a twin lens kit too?

Bounce with me everyone!

FINALLY!!

My camera arrived yesterday, more than two weeks after I ordered it. I am so happy, and completely overwhelmed. This thing is seriously smart. I think it may actually be able to make a souffle, I just have to find the right button for that.

Anyway, once I get the hang of everything, I will sit on my deck and take photos of birds

Roz snagged my 4k pageview, so she gets a pretty.

In other news, I finished my 9km fun run, took me 70 minutes, an improvement of 5 minutes over last year. I raised $70 for the Cancer Council, though it is not too late to add to my sponsorship money if you have afew dollars spare. You can do it at my fundraising page by clicking this [link] Thanks very much to the people who generously added their money already.

Looking forward to the TAC exchange, working on some plans for the scene I want to use.

Trying to finalise the last details of our major home renovation/extension and then hopefully life will return to regular scheduling.
