It was a busy day trying to install Coldfusion on 3 servers and apply patches. Didn’t finish the patching yet. It was a slow process. If it were years ago, I would have stayed all night working on it to get it done. But now, I just want to come home.

Went out to the pool and started vacuuming it. It’s a mindless task but somehow it calms the chattering mind and relaxes you. I skimmed off the debris and shocked it too. Then watered the plants and backwashed the filter and cleaned up benny’s contribution. Seems to be a lot but time passes so easily.

Leo’s friend delivered some firewood before he went out of town. I have enough to last for serveral weeks at least. I’m very excited and we had a small one before the season finale of the housewives. It’s cold but it’s great. For a person who doesn’t like to be cold, this statement doesn’t come out of me very often.

Picture taken with my new camera. What a difference!

Took benny for a haircut and stopped by Border’s to read up on the camera’s. Then on a whim went to Best Buy and got my self a Nikon DSLR. It can function like a point and shoot digital camera but you have all the controls of a manual one. I can’t wait to test it out.

With an SD card in the camera, I can take it out and put it in my PPC phone and send the picture to this blog right away. This means I can post pictures from anywhere and write in it another time. One of the major reasons for a new camera. I think I’m set for a while. Now I just need to take some lessons on how to take nice pictures.

Really enjoyed the fireplace. Sat out by the pool again till the stars came out. The air was chilly but the fireplace kept us warm. We stared into the fire, talked while sipping a cup of tea. Benny was on my lap, and tido on leo’s. I could do this for the rest of my life everyday as Leo said even though I’m fighting a cold.
