I decided to create a new blog for my holidays this year to keep things separate from my main blog. I'm going to try an post regularly while on holiday but it will depend on when I can get a wifi connection on my iPad. I'm going to be using my Kodak Playsport to take the pics and then do some basic processing on the Camera+ app. I've found that I'm not able to edit the blog using the normal editor for Blogger within Safari (it crashes when I try to publish) to I'm going to use BlogPress instead. One thing I need to edit after the initial posting is the photo size as it creates them at the small size by default and I prefer them a bit bigger.

After a bit more testing I've abandoned Camera+ because it keeps crashing when I try to save my edited photos so now I'm using PhotoForge2 which seems a lot better and has a lot more editing options. I've also found that when I add photos to the post in BlogPress that I can resize them within the editor so that makes things a lot simpler.

Posting the photos separately as the slow connection is causing BlogPress to time out I think.

A Happy Unbirthday to Me

So because we're in France when it's my birthday my family decided to take me out for an early birthday meal. We went to a local Indian restaurant called Laxmi at Berry Brow near Huddersfield. The meal was very good and we talked mainly about the girls trip today looking for a wedding dress. They seem to have had fun and may well have found the right dress for Emma.


Ginny is going to be the head bridesmaid and is also doing a lot of the organising.


The rest of my party were Danny, the future husband for Emma, and my wife Lynne.


Getting excited about the holiday now, just a few more days before we set off. Saturday we have 270 miles to the ferry at Dover then 270 kilometres from Calais to Honfleur.
