1462 days of underachievement
A friend has started the 1462 Project on Flickr for those who are interested. It starts today. In his words;
I'm sure you know about the 365 and 366 day projects, where participants take a photo of themselves each day for a year.
Here's a slightly more ambitious challenge. Take a picture of yourself every day starting from the leap day in 2008 (2008-02-29) and ending on the leap day in 2012 (2012-02-29). This is an inclusive range, so that a photo must be taken on both leap days.
This means that 1462 photos have to be taken
There was a time in my life when taking a photo a day would have seemed a simple enough task. But that was BJ; before Jacob. I don't know why but even when he is not at home the idea of finding the time and mental organisation required to both press a button AND take the camera lens off (not necessarily in that order) just seems beyond me these days. I know I'd just be a terrible embarassment to everyone.
But hey! theres no reason why YOU shouldn't join up.

The sound of wild pigs running................
We've recently found a very good piano teacher, highly recommended by a five year old, who we're hoping will soon be able to start lessons with Jacob. Just to get him started, I dug out the old Casio I had in the garage and we spent some time playing with it this morning.
Jacob plays sounds that he describes variously as; darkness, very small mice, or fast horses. But it was when he embarked on "wild pigs running through the forest, no, a purple forest" that I knew his future in avant-garde jazz was assured.

Underbelly
Most of the neighbours it seems have spent today downloading Underbelly from here and there. And as Crikey mentions, the DVD burners are smokin' from the workout.
Mind you, for some of our neighbours, the series depicts close relatives and not a few acquaintances so I suppose it almost constitutes a home movie. aaaaaaaahh.....brunswick!

We're back.
One of the ironies of blogging is that the more there is to blog about the less likely you are to get around to doing it. It's been a volatile and dramatic time the last two months, not only for us, but also it seems for several of our friends. But, we're back;....... at least for now.
