my kids with their presents -

a couple from christmas dinner -

christmas day has come and gone again for another year.
the usual stuff - too much to eat and drink and i ended up with
pains in my stomach from overeating way too much. the problem
is the food is so nice (especially the desert) that you just can't stop!
i will post a few pics a bit later of christmas day at our place.

well it's christmas eve and my last day of work for a few days.
at my place our tradition is for the kids to open at least some
of their presents tonight. there seems to be so many presents
for them, probably too many really. i guess that's the way it
goes these days and with three kids you have to be careful
that they all get about the same amount so they don't get
upset !!
+++++++++ to everyone who comes by and reads this flog
MERRY CHRISTMAS and all the best for the holidays! i hope that
2004 is a great time for all. i have a few things that i would like
to do/achieve next year so i'm going to set the wheels in motion
on a couple of them straight away - watch this space!

also in the next few days when time permits i will start on that
page for my IOS photos from '92.

i have quite a lot of snapshots from my time on IOS all those years
ago so i might put together a page somewhere on my site and
post a selection of them - stay tuned!

i haven't shot anything this weekend but i came across a fantastic
website http://www.iospartyisland.com/ios.asp?href=/aa_docs/home/default.asp
which is all about IOS the greek island where i spent two summers working and
partying in 91 and 92. there is loads of stuff on the site and i have spent quite
a while navigating around in it. it certainly brings back wonderful memories of
the fun i had in the early 90's meeting some great people from all over the world.
some of the people who frequent the site have been going back to IOS year after
year for quite a long time so i'm going to see if i can track down some people
from back then. isn't the internet an amazing thing !!
