Name that fish…

and no its no Fred or Harry 🙂

I tried this Fish, for the first time ,for my dinner tonight.
It was just baked in the oven, I very rarely add anything to my fish as I like to taste the flavour of the fish.

I wonder if you Know what fish it is……..  it was very nice 🙂

still playing with scribeFire and love the way you can just drag photos into your post

Struggling..

Since getting my beloved blog for Christmas 2006, I have always used Live writer to publish my posts and i have also always used Flickr for storing my photos.
The only problem i have ever had is that live writer will not let me add a slide show or you tube to my blog posts.
Recently it was suggested by Geoff that i should move on and try other more improved applications like scribefire and Picasa.
He even did a blog post for me all about inserting slide shows using scribefire.
Not to be put off by a challenge I decided to try both out.
Usually it takes me about 15 mins to do a post, its stress free and an enjoyable experience.
My last blog post has taken me 2 days to do and even then Geoff had to actually post it for me 🙁
As for Picasa well its going to take some getting used too I still want my photos on Flickr so now seem to have my photos all over the place, but i recognise the fact that picasa is good for backing up your photos.
I am determined to persevere with using both these applications so please bear with me, I will get there in the end. 🙂

La Paz and The Road of Death

< >

La Paz is the capital of Bolivia and also the highest city in the world.
The reason for going to La Paz was to do the Road of Death bike ride.
Although I found the street markets totally amazing I did not really like La Paz, I found it very dry and dusty.
We would have loved to have stayed longer though just to visit the salt flats but I am sure the cold would have killed us.>

The Bike ride down the Road of death was totally amazing.
We did it with vertigo biking , an excellent company who looked after us well and provided excellent equipment.
The ride is not as dangerous these days as there is no traffic on the road.
One false move though and could easily end up over the edge 🙂
