After passing his theory test first time in November 2007 

My son Andrew has struggled to pass his driving test but today he received this in the

post…..

On his fourth attempt he finally passed his test on July 8th 2009

This was the day I returned from South America so was fantastic welcome home news.

Today he started his full time job, which means he has to get up at 4am to cycle to work, but hopefully his biking days are now  numbered 🙂

( This post was done using live writer as scribfire would not upload my photo and to be honest this is just far far quicker as it just works )

For all those that have asked  about ScribeFire
ScribeFire is an extension for the Mozilla Firefox Web Browser that integrates with your browser to let you easily post to your blog: you can drag and drop formatted text from pages you are browsing, take notes, and post to your blog.

Now that I am getting used to it I find it very quick and easy no logging into anything and no opening up an application just right click on any open page and away you go.

I am sure I have lots more to learn though 🙂

Yesterday I had a surprise day in London. We visited 2 places that I had never been before, Camden Market and the Tate modern art museum.
I loved the atmosphere at the market and really enjoyed having a look round.
Shame all the clothes are definitely for much younger people but as you can imagine Emily fell in love with most of the nice girlie dresses.
I did not leave the market empty handed though, as I found some candle sconce’s something I had been after for a long time.

After walking along Regents canal and up Bond street we made our way along the Thames river to the Tate Modern art galley.
The Tate was an extraordinary experience, its hard to imagine what goes on in someones mind when they create this so called art.
I’m  afraid to say that I like my paintings to look like paintings so did not appreciate the modern art as much as some would.

Next time we shall go and visit the Victoria and Albert Museum and make sure we arrange to meet up with Lady Banana too

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

.

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. 🙂
