Dead photos
Hi Nick,
It appears the last two pictures are dead? (Kurnell and Botany Bay) They just come up as white for me?
Michael
- Hey Mike, That's weird. They show OK in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer some of the image links were broken. I refreshed a few times, and then they all showed ok. Most strange - try it now and see if it's OK, and if not try refreshing a few times to see if that helps. If not, the direct links to the images are here for Kurnell and here for Botany Bay. -- Cheers, Nickj 15:31, 17 March 2006 (EST)
Worked it out!
Silly me... it was my built in "Ad blocker". For one of the pictures the path just happened to include ".../ad/...", which explains it, but for the others it's not so obvious why it's a false positive. Ah well.

Hi from the French ski slopes...
Great write-up, kiddo, you should be a journalist! Seems like you found foreign ski slopes very different from from the warmer, Aussie ones. Next you'll need to try the slopes around here, but you won't find any Japanese food I'm afraid. Pity about that, the food I mean, because I adore Japanese food and it certainly is healthy. Anyway, the slopes are just half an hour away.
Loved the bit when Paul fell after "misreading" the slope! Sounds mean, but I used to do that regularly when I skied in Canada and everybody used to fall about laughing, after making sure that I would live, of course. I never really got the hang of it all, and I don't enjoy the cold. However, living in Canada meant that I didn't have much choice really, we had to ski for a stroll, we couldn't walk in 1 meter of snow, and didn't want to stay housebound during the weekends or be forced to drive. I don't think Alex has ever tried skiing, and I know they don't do it in Martinique!
Hope Becky is fine and that you are planning a trip over here some time. We have nearly finished renovating one half of the house, including reversible A/C and solar panels. When we have digested this half we'll do the other. We have a splendid terrace, facing the mountains, that is to be enjoyed by all. Now March is here we are spending more and more time out there, taking in the view and the sun - heavenly.
Looking forward to reading more of your "work".
Love from us both, Diane and Alex
P.S. Can't help noticing how much Paul looks like his mother in those photos...
