Celebrations

Here's our holiday sweets table for this year (click to enlarge):



The castle-like picture frame in the background was taken down from our hallway wall so we could put up the cardholder wreath, which I'll photograph when it's filled out a bit more. Not so many British sweets this year, thanks in part to the lousy exchange rate.

However, it turns out we have a bit more to celebrate now than I'd anticipated. Robin just received confirmation of more work, which should take us through 2008. I can't tell you how much of a relief this is to me during this period of temporary unemployment! All indications are that next year will be one to look forward to.

Meanwhile, Rob's got the computer setup in his studio pretty much the way he wants it, with the addition of a Mac mini to handle his email and store our iTunes stuff. It's the silvery thing at the right, next to the black box standing up (external hard drive). I love the way he's rotated the monitor! Pretty cool scan on the screen, too. :)



Here's a close-up of the Mac mini (which Rob calls his "MiniMe"). Tiny, isn't it?



Still not sure what's to become of the setup with the routers and, um, whatever that thing is underneath them next to the now-relocated hard drive...



As if I keep track of what all these things are called. Back to Firesign chat now!
