Boring looking photo I know, but significant to me. This is the Safety Bay Scout Hall, where in grade 4 in 1984 I was part of the first ever class of students at Maranatha Christian School - we had a combined class of grade 4 - 7 students and around 40 kids total in the school.
Now I’m parked outside the current, much huger, Maranatha College waiting to collect my grade 2 son. I noticed the other day in the office here that they still have a few plaques with my name on up on the wall. Scary how fast time flies. Life is too short…

Just got some depressing news - one of my good friends from university (who was my age) passed away last month. I hadn’t heard anything about it until another friend who just arrived back in town after a couple of years dropped me an email. Even now, the only information I know is what I can glean from comments on his facebook page, which is very sketchy. We hadn’t seen much of each other in the last couple of years living busy doctors’ lives at opposite ends of the city, but even so I will miss him very much - he was a good mate. Wish I had’ve known sooner so I could have attended the funeral but my prayers and thoughts are with his family. We’ll miss you, Dean…

I need to get a batch of photos printed over the next few days. Usually if it’s just a few photos that need printing I’ll use our printer at home, which puts out pretty nice looking prints, but if it’s a bigger size batch I prefer taking them to a shop to get them done. I’ve used Harvey Norman printing a bit in the past because it’s nice and close to us, but the last time I went there the prints were awful quality.
SO, I’ll ask for advice… anyone have any tips on where is the best place to get digital photos printed, preferably in the Rockingham area (though other tips are welcome too)?? And if so, how do you get them done - glossy or matte? Do you use their “image correction” features or just print them as is? What’s your experiences on pricing and waiting times? … thanks

You could call it a beach, or you could call it a sea weed depository … either way Safety Bay is a nice spot.
Now let’s see if this works - the flickr blog posting is a bit inconsistent - the photos I send from my phone always make it to flickr, but don’t seem to then make it to blog every time. It’s a bit hit and miss - so here goes…
[yep - the photo made it to flickr but not to the blog. Although it’s then easy to send it on using one click from the flickr website but it’s a shame the mobile posting is not so reliable…]
