Espresso, meet capuccino. Tony, meet RuthTony trying in vain to blow out the blasted self-relighting candles on his birthday cake, to the endless amusement of Anne Charlotte, June, Karen and Mark, with Lali behind the camera lens
Yummy mince-stuffed cabbage rolls, part of my birthday supper, which was mostly delicious and sorely missed Georgian food

New job: part-time chef (among other things) at a nursing home in Sherborne). First time I've had the proper uniform!A couple of shots from the UK's Big Freeze of earlier in January. Not much snow if you're used to it, but if you're not, a whole new world in both good and bad ways

Sherborne, Dorset, UK, late December 2009
William McDermid doing his stuff - he's an amazing magician, baffling, self-confident, great at parties. Once again, I'm playing with slow shutter and flash to freeze at the same time.

That festive period between Christmas and New Year's Day... a Sunday pub lunch (hooked on blur/shutter), and late Christmas cake, which I hated as a child but have since grown to love

Pond Ice, Sherborne, UK
A fascinating discovery: pond ice 1/2-1" thick, cracked with the heel of my shoe, reveals nice (polarised?) light patterns in the fault lines

Christmas Preparations 2009, Sherborne, Dorset, UK
Merry Christmas everyone!Getting crazy with the combination of slow shutter speed and flash, to both blur and freeze motion in the same frame. Top: rotating the lens. Middle: moving it sideways. Bottom: zooming in!
Interestingly, some of the tree lights we put up are revealed to be flickering at a very fast speed, which is why they are not smooth lines but dotted ones. By the way, we DID also have fun putting up the tree...

Counter reset...?!
I noticed with great displeasure the resetting of my 16000+ viewers from 199 countries to... 12 viewers from 7 countries, this morning. Contacted NeoWorx to request that the old totals - still existing for my blog on their site - be returned. Frustrating!
