Damn You Auto Correct


My gorgeous sister-in-law Frances turned 50 yesterday. To celebrate, some of her nearest and dearest (like me :D) shared in the creation and devouring of an Italian themed Degustation.
Now addicted as I am to social media, especially FB, and addicted as I also am to my iPhone, I had to post about what was going on...
The iPhone is great in enabling status updates, but is over zealous in it's auto correct capability. There are some doozies here, if you'd like a laugh. So when I typed in that we were having a Degustation, it auto corrected to Dehydration. Could have been a premonition for either of my brothers, I imagine...
What I have not figured to do, if it is indeed possible, is to delete a comment from the iPhone...
While each of the seven course were delicious, the one pictured on the left had to be my favourite. Kingfish Arancini Balls and Kingfish mousse, created by my brother Rik and other sister-in-law Kim. Why 2 pics? One taken with my camera, the other with the iPhone. Can you tell which is which?

Was the Bride Beautiful?



I was lucky enough to be invited to look in on the wedding ceremony of Kate and Damien today, at Footbridge Lodge in the Bombays. Many of our work colleagues (Kate's and mine) are anxiously awaiting an album upload to FB - I am so predictable? efficient?  I think they  have come to expect this of me... However my first posting allegiance tonight is to my blog.

I am quite impressed to have had well over 500 page views on my first ever blog after its first 2 weeks. I think I am safe in saying that all those who have dropped by have done so because of the persistent Facebook links I am providing. I am not fooling myself that anyone from the world outside my own 'social network' has looked in. But do let me know if you have...

So, in answer to my own question, indeed she was. My photo today is testament to that. And a little teaser for those who are waiting for the rest. They are not far away, I promise.

PS Congratulations, Kate and Damien, my genuine best wishes for the wonderful life ahead that you both deserve.
