DAY 365. 31/12/11
Last one for the year. And that's the end of year 2. Still not sure if I'll go on with a year 3, but it's been too much fun not to keep going.
Like to thank everyone who've come to the Flickr page, Blog and Facebook page. There's been close to 80,000 of you. Thanks. And once again, thanks to Sony for making kick-arse cameras, everyone who's appeared as willing and unwilling subjects and Dustin Dias for the spark.
Today's shot was taken at dawn today. Just something from Dad's beautiful hanging baskets. That's it for today. Happy New Year All.

2nd last post till the end. Have been asked if I'll keep it going to Year 3, and really, I haven't decided. Anyway here's something I've kept for a while now, and still in it's original packaging. It's Princess Leia in Jabba's slave costume... you know the one we all dreamed about the second we saw her in Return of the Jedi. 1 more tomorrow.

During my online shopping for xmas presents, I came across this little gem. A Piano keyboard mat. It has 100 sounds, 100 rhythms and midi capability... Really quite outstanding. Of course it being still in my possession so many days after xmas also means someone has probably missed out on a present. Shame. More tomorrow.
