time for a change ?

it’s getting too tricky to update the blog at the moment due to technical issues at both my end and the server end, so i’m wondering whether i should retire the funkypancake blog.

it’s all becoming too labour intensive to get the photos on to the blog, schedule then manually trigger the daily postings.  the blogging platform i self host is falling apart due to my neglect and lack of expertise.

i’m happy to spend time updating the blog (as i have every day since april 2004) and i’ll still continue to take mundane pictures. it’s purely a technical work flow thing.

if you’ve got any thoughts on how i can do a photo blog in a more simple way (perhaps doing something with flickr where i already post duplicate photos ?) then let me know !

goodnight for now …

two tuis in the garden

these two tuis were in our garden which was quite nice as they are lovely and kiwi-y.

a cold and frosty morning

whilst you guys in blighty enjoy your heat wave, it’s all a bit chilly down here.

i’m not asking for sympathy.  i’m just saying

and it’s quite lovely seeing the local bush all covered in frostiness
