Hard News: Tooled Up for Food, in reply to AdamPope,
Snap on the Spong. As may have been apparent for some of you, I have a thing for coffee machines. The Presso the most manual in my collection actually works pretty well, and often comes with us on holidays
And was pleasantly surprised to find the little oven dish, perfect for solo apple crumble, is a Le Creuset you're all talking about. Belonged to M's grandmother, who brought it back from France.

Capture: Mama Don't Take My Lytro Camera…, in reply to David Hood,
That's kind of what I was waiting for too David. Thanks for the link.
The recent update on the Lytro improved things by allowing you to 'shift focus', bringing everything withing the depth of field into focus. But then you couldn't export the image to file, only screen grab it.
It's like all the way through they have been almost, but not quite. The concept is brilliant. The first consumer application of it from Lytro would have been more at home with Instagram.

Your story is beyond comprehension David. Glad you survived, and best of luck for the return journey.
We seem to be blessed with good travellers now, although I recall vowing never to travel again after a flight with 3 under three, but somehow the actual reason has slipped from my memory. Selective amnesia?
In regards to American Airport security, and how it has changed, we had a few experiences in 1993 which just wouldn’t happen these days.
The most unlikely was at Washington Airport, a stopover between New York and New Orleans. We arrived at the check-in to be told our flight had unfortunately been cancelled. We prepared ourselves for an unexpected stay in Washington.
But our helpful check-in person had other ideas. ‘Wait, there’s a flight leaving. I’ll just ask them to wait’. She made some quick calls, and then said ‘come with me’. She grabbed my MacPac, it being the largest piece of luggage, summing up my athletic abilities, and told us to jump over the luggage check-in. Then used her security card to walk us through the controlled areas, mapping the fastest route to the gate.
At the gate she encountered a less capable human, pushed her out of the way (literally), and made the necessary entries to the flight record, then pointed to the plane waiting on the tarmac. ‘That’s your plane. Off you go.’
A few of the passengers smiled as we lugged our over-sized bags down the narrow isles and found a seat. But not all of them.
I suspect that all three of us would be arrested these days, or worse.
ETA: I think I've told this here before. More amnesia. Oops.

Capture: Upside Down, Inside Out, in reply to "chris",
Yes, this is my favorite Capture thread, of all time. Magnificence on every page.
Cheers Chris. I’m kind of blown away by it all. The world has looked different since we started. Nature’s surrealism.
And Nora is in the zone. Along with the rest of you of course.
Loving it.

Pretty sure I remember Julia playing that song with Lisa Crawley at Tabac around the release of Modern Fables. Lovely song. Would also really like to hear a remix.
Here it is live in Wellington, from 2011.
Street Chant were indeed ace with David Saunders. Do you think Don McGlashan would front them next?

Hard News: A Capital Great Blend (update), in reply to Lilith __,
Well, good, because we’re being so damn resilient down here! ;-)
Count me in. Again. ;-)
ETA: I mean for the next #OGB #ChCh. Won't make it in the next few weeks, unfortunately.
