Back in April we bought our first digital camera, a Pentax Optio E10. If you're in the market, don't bother, it's only average (but if you'd like to buy ours let us know!!). But we used it to snap away as it's more convenient than our 25 year old Canon A1 SLR and various lenses. So, in June, I took the Pentax to Minty training. Stupidly, I left it at the bach, but David (the owner) found it and returning it to me, for which we're very greatful. Consequently, I tried uploading some of the shots to www.timliz.phanfare.com, our online photo album. Failed miserably. I was blaming Telecom, as usual. But we tried this morning and it worked a treat. Do look at www.timliz.phanfare.com and let us know what you think.
Lizzy rang her sister in London last night. She tells me they spoke for 104 minutes. Wow. They talked alot about last week's Cambridge Folk Festival (www.cambridgefolkfestival.co.uk). I don't care for EmmyLou Harris, but I would have loved to hear Rodrigo y Gabriela, who are busy re-writing acoustic guitar rules. Have a listen to www.rodgab.com. Good stuff. Shame they're busy touring Europe (mostly Ireland and UK) and Australia but not NZ.
For the first time in days, so it seems, the sun is shining so it's time to get out and enjoy it.

Gore Bay
We went to Gore Bay at the weekend and did not much. It was beautiful, the bach we stayed in had a stunning view of the ocean, and we drove home on Sunday via a wine tasting winery and beer tasting at Brew Moon.
I've (Liz) been feeling pretty bleugh after that though - that's the trouble if you have a nice holiday - going back to work is pretty pants.
Just been reading a book by Amy Orr-Ewing It's great. She says, and I 100% agree, that Christianity is 'intellectually robust and existentially satisfying'. Yeah!!!
So why, I ask myself, do we as Christians sing such rambling rubbish in church? That's my latest rant. Actually my second to latest rant. The very latest rant is linked to it though. People keep saying, (when I embark on afore-mentioned rant - that we keep singing songs all about me me me) that Jesus loves me so much that even if I were the only person who needed him to, he would have still died for me. Maybe that's true, but it's a kinda pointless thing to say cos I'm not, nor will ever be, the only person in need of God's grace and Christ's death. We all are in dire need, together. Surely.
Grrr.
