So starting off with some good news!!! I'm booked in for a wedding for March 10th, 2007.. Woo hoo!!
I met with the lovely couple a few weekends ago - and they are a great pair! Well I'd met the bride to be many, many years ago... Katie's my cousin :) However I'd not met her fiance Rob before. So my girlfriend and I drove up the coast to meet them, and we had a great meeting and a spot of lunch... I'd heard a few months ago that Katie had gotten engaged, she'd heard I was a wedding photographer and wanted to meet up.... It took us that long to match our schedules! So we had a great meeting and Katie and Rob like what I do, and I've booked them in....
We'll be meeting up soon to do a relaxed engagment shoot and talk more about what they want to do with the wedding.

More good news... My new replacement MacBook Pro was delivered yesterday! I cracked the box the other night and it seems that it is not a victim of the dreaded squeal! It is running like a dream and is all good - need more RAM - so that's coming soon too!!


Now the bad news... I was typing away on my Dell laptop last week, got a call from my lovely girl, and put the laptop aside... We finished talking, and I got up to put the phone on the hook - pulling the laptop by its cord to the edge of the couch!! I turned and it was all in slow motion... The laptop slipped slowly off the edge of the couch and creeped ever so slowly toward the floor... a concrete tiled floor... It hit the tiles with a massive clatter and I was like "OMG OMG OMG!!!" (all my current work and mail is on there after transferring it across from my first MBP). I put the phone on the hook, and then tended to the laptop - it was still running (woo hoo. So I shut it down and went to bed - got hone from work today, cooked dinner and booted up my Dell... Well kinda booted... it was just loading and loading and loading on the XP screen.... Nothing... Safe mode... loaded... kinda.... ALL GONE.. :(

I stuck the drive in a USB2 caddy and - it really is the worst kind of news... It's literally all gone... Well you can see it - but copying it off? Nope - CRC error heave.. Sooooo sad...

Anyway so not a massive amount of crucial information on there - which is lucky as...

Cheers!
