For Matthew...

Well, these are technically trams rather than trains... but I thought Matthew might be interested in them still... it's a cross between a train and a bus.

There's a green one... they share the road with cars and bicycles. So there are tram lines in the middle of the road, and more complicated traffic rules at junctions.

And here is a brown tram waiting at the traffic light for its turn. The brown trams are free for everyone apparently, sponsored jointly by the tourism board and the city council and maybe someone else.

Hello from Downunder!

I am currently holidaying in Melbourne, Australia, for a week, visiting my aunt and uncle who have migrated here. And this is my prize photo from today's visit to the city centre.

Mobile phones are taking over the world!

Well, at least they seem to be doing so in Singapore.

On the MRT (mass rapid transit) train, almost everyone entertains themselves by looking at their mobile phone...

My husband is no exception, here he is playing with his phone.

Even little kids play with them! If ever there was a plan to take over the world, I think the plan will have to include mobile phones.

Sorry for the long radio silence...

... have been struggling with nausea and fatigue as there is a little baby cooking in my tummy!

Here is a picture of it at 6 weeks... just a blob. :P

And here is a picture of it at 12 weeks... more of a shape to it... this was taken on Thursday 31 March.
