Sorry - ran out of time!

Well, I promised you one post a week so here it is.

Unfortunately, I ran out of time to do a proper post so this is really just a placeholder so that you know I haven't forgotten about all 2 of my readers.

Hopefully, I will be able to post some pics and a proper post next week.

Playing with a new camera

I finally got a new camera last week.  Specifically, the Sony Alpha 6000.

Its one of the recent breed of ILC cameras and is targeted at the mid-range market.  So not as powerful and complex as the full frame cameras - and as such, not as expensive either - but at the same time, with a lot more power and quality than the old point and shoots that I've been using.

No comment on the quality yet - really haven't been using it long enough to deliver any kind of meaningful comment.  However, I thought I would share one of the photos that I took with the camera.

So, based just on the pictures, what are your thoughts?

Gordon's birthday

Gordon is now six years old!

Wow - at times, I can't believe its six years since he was born.  At other times, I wonder when he will finally grow up!

As it was his birthday, we naturally got him a birthday cake.  Gerry even packaged up some of his stuff to give to Gordon as a present!

We also got him a pirate book which had pop-up scenes for him to play with.  He loved it and even loved to pretend he was an actual pirate!

Arg me maties!

Xmas at Ocean Park

Haven't been to Ocean Park in a long time.  Thanks to my sister-in-law, we managed to get some free tickets to Ocean Park so took the entire family there for a day out!

By way of thank you - some pictures!

Naturally, the first thing we did was take the cable car to the other side of the mountain which is a little bit more kid friendly in terms of the rides.

Gordon was actually quite scared in the cable car - held onto mummy's hand very tightly

After playing on some of the kid friendly roller coasters, we headed back down to the main park area for some picture opportunities.
