Colourful Guest

First seen 3 weeks ago for a short time, this colourful guest and a companion showed up again today. I understand it's a 'red list' bird in England though in New Zealand, where my nephew and his fiancee live, it is very plentiful
Stefan (http://www.birds.se ) again kindly provided identification for me as this is not always easy for me...I am not an expert 'Bird watcher' and also am a little colour blind. Stefan was also able to tell me that it is a 1 year old bird :)  Many thanks - again - Stefan

Website visits/hits

There seems to be a lot of interest in my wife's art
judging by the activity at her website these past 2
weeks - which coincides with her exhibition in Galleri
Infra, Stockholm.
 
Visits and hits are 200% more than the average for
the previous year - and we are about to have a record
for a month and for a year, with hits about to top
200,000 for the year possibly today but certainly
within the next 24 hours!

Snow Go

After 24 hours of temperatures above freezing all
the snow is starting to melt and to go - as one would
expect.
The frozen lake has a covering of water from the rain
we have had and is 'groaning' at night I presume as
the molecules expand through thawing.
Winters in Sweden  - or the area of our home -
are so interesting.

Stockholm Exhibition

Oh, I think I like this Qumana :)
 
The reason I was not blogging last week
was because my wife (http://www.ragnhild-monsen.com )
was holding a major exhibition of her art work
 - she has been a professional artist for over
 30 years - at Galleri Infra, Infra City,Stockholm
 
So we had a marvellous stay at the Scandic Infra
City hotel and a hard working week erecting a
very large amount of very large tapestries and
textile art.

Qumana and backups BLOGS

Hmmmm.. I must be getting nerdish :):)
 
This is a trial of an offline Blog editor which has many
very nice features to help us write our blogs...especially
I also solved another little problem today with my blogging.
Over the 5 years I've been blogging I've had 2 harddisk
crashes...one caused by an (at the time) undetected virus
which finally managed to physically destroy a new 80 gig
HDD.
This gave me something of a headache or two, as a lot
of my blog backups also disappeared. Today I grabbed
a free opensource website copier that also copies BLOGS.
Beautifully :):)
