Christmassing

Got a photo for my grandmother.  She wanted one of the two of us.
Also, the first photo of me with my brother since he told me he is transitioning.
He has not yet told me what pronouns he is working toward, so for now I am sticking with the ones that have 30 years experience.

Getting sunburnt at a wedding

Cousin's wedding at the Lignite Pit, near Invercargill.
I got destroyed by the sun.
The peeling lasted for weeks (as of 3/1/2019 my elbows are still peeling from it)

Laziness wins

As soon as I got from the old geocities entries to those written to be on ihug I gave up on posting the entries as separate blogspot posts.
I am posting them a month at a time, with some quick find and replace removing the main bits of no longer relevant HTML code.
The end result is a mess, but I am far too lazy to do a better or tidier job at this stage.

So, blogging again. ish. Except old.

Vodafone is shutting down the ihug homepages.
So I am moving all the old blog entries to this thing.
As my homebrew format was quite weird, this is requiring a lot of slow and awkward cut-and-paste.  So the transfer of entries will be pretty slow.  Stupid google sites don't seem to allow FTP, so just moving my ihug site to google seems too awkward to be the approach to use.

Jeepers.  Blog posts from 20 years ago are depressing. Young me was so very stupid.
