The Mercury in dock at Juneau, Alaska

Apologies!  Our pc has still not recovered from major surgery!  A new hard drive failed to work and the old drive has crashed.  I now have a loan pc for a few months.  Service will now re-commence! 

Moving

We've moved! - we're now in sunny Sunnyvale, the heart of Silicon Valley  but only 10 minutes from Mountain View. We have a 2 bedroom duplex (like a double lower villa) with garage, air con and a lovely patio with grass where I can at last hang my hammock!  And it's $400 pm cheaper.  We still have a pool.  See our new contact details.

Yosemite Trip

We went camping to Yosemite with our friends Sharon and Rich in July.  It wasn't very rough - tented cabins with a wood burning stove and proper beds! We also went to Bodie Ghost Town and Mono Lake. See more about it here.

Alaska Trip

Too good to miss - I found a terrific deal - 7 nights cruise from Anchorage to Vancouver with Celebrity Cruises.   Read all about it here.  See photos of Bill in a tuxedo!

Director's Cut

We splashed out on a mini DV camcorder in time for our Alaskan trip.  Now just need to reduce 4 hours of tape into 1 hour or no one will want to watch!
