Missed adding my blog yesterday.I shall blame the little planes driving menuts all day long.It is the last leg of the Red Bull Air race this weekend and we live right on the course so there is no escaping it.

I actually went to the cricket,which is right on the flight path so it was no better there.

Oh I got my new camera yesterday!

Pic is an antique steam engine taken at the Perth Royal Show vintage exhibition!

What kind of camera did you get?  Looks like Arthur is still in working order--can 'see' the big wheel moving.  Looking forward to more photos.  Great steps there too!

I can imagine the air race getting very old very fast if you live so close to it!  I hope it's only one day?

Sorry I bought the Canon EOS 450D here and the Rebel XSi in the US.
One of the problems was the unseasonaly wet weather that has beset us for most of the month. We got our complete months rainfall average by the end of the second day of November. It was also cold and windy too. Nochance to getout and walk much at all.

Susie did you have to pay import duty on the camera you bought in the US

I bought it locally Vista. Our dollar plunged and lost nearly 40C against the us dollar, so I had to buy it here. Right now the Aussie dollar has recovered somwhat and is now worth around 65C USD. It was around 98C USD last month. The credit squeeze has put enormous pressure on our major resource,mining. This is reflected in the downward trend in our markets.
