2nd 40+ day in a row for Melbourne. This is a favourite way to cool off.

5 / 365: Hot

Taken at 7pm on Wednesday night but not uploaded until Thursday morning due to mobile broadband meltdown.

Some of the Polaroids currently adorning our fridge.

You can’t beat a fresh Lamington.

He looks like he’s about to try to get away with something…

Looks like a nice day. Let’s go surfing.

Even though we asked the question before Christmas and decided to keep this blog going, we’ve decided it needs a bit of a change. I’ve lost the motivation to write stuff. For now.

So from this weekend expect to see only photo posts here. But not the way we’ve done it in the past, with albums of our trips posted to Picasa. Instead, we’ll be posting one photo per day for the next 365 days. A visual diary instead of a written one, I guess.

There’ll be some variety, as we have six seven cameras (a Polaroid SX-70, a Polaroid 645CL, a Nikon D40 DSLR, a waterproof Pentax W20, a Lomo ActionSampler, my Sony Ericsson T650i mobile and Jayne’s Nokia E65 mobile).

I’ll post each photo to the martinjy Flickr account, which automagically tells my Facebook newsfeed that there’s something new and also creates a new post here. If you want to comment you can on Flickr, Facebook or here.

Starts tomorrow – Saturday 24th.

Morning walk at Point Addis

We had a good night last night down at Ocean Grove caravan park with John and Bec and their extended family, who stay down there for 2-3 weeks every year. Fish and chips for dinner, a few beers, some ridiculous conversation and some cards a bit later. Then up early for a surf this morning, and back to the caravan park for lunch and a walk on the beach in the afternoon. We love camping and are looking forward to doing a whole lot more this year.

Didn’t take many photos (too busy having fun) but here’s one of Bec all rugged up last night (it cooled off when the sun went down), and a couple of John, Bec and our godson Isaac on Ocean Grove beach this afternoon.

I’ve been slack with the blog posts but that doesn’t mean we’ve been sitting around doing nothing. Far from it. It’s just that we were on holiday and I wanted to stay away from the laptop as much as I could.

Besides, I can’t remember what we did on which day.

So for now just enjoy the photos of tenpin bowling with the kids and the Great Ocean Road with Jon and Bethany. I’ll have a think and try to write some stuff down.
