Merry Christmas!


Christmas Day. Matthew stayed last night and got to open presents with us. Clothes, chocs, DVDs and books were the order of the day. Catherine bought Matthew an acoustic guitar. Took him a while to figure out how to attach the strap.
Spoke to mum. Grant, Scott and Alex were over and playing the traditional games :-). Paul's mum & dad rang too. They were at John and Jacqui's for a few days. Seemed to like their "luxury" hamper present.
Had a pretty lazy day. Bucks fizz before Xmas dinner and just finished the rest of the wine off with the food. Ate around one and then just lounged around.
Yesterday, a softbox I'd got from eBay arrived. I figured out how to set it up after a bit of trial and error. I was hoping to take pictures of Catherine & Matthew but they didn't seem too keen. Matthew skipped off to see his girlfriend and just arrived home late enough for Catherine to be in bed. She has to get up to be in work for 5am, working at the Future Shop Boxing day sales. Anyway, managed to get Ivan to sit for a couple of shots. Still need some work on lighting techniques but I got one nice shot.
Watched an old film on the History channel but didn't break open the DVDs yet.
