Just took delivery of this handsome beastie! It scans, it copies, it prints.. and it’s wireless too! Best news of all? It was cheaper than the printer it replaces (that one suffered a coronary just before Christmas). It’s still less than £150 those very …

Why would a holiday across half the world get in the way of watching a good TV show? Well, under normal circumstances it probably would, but with a bit of tech jiggery-pokery, here I am in the Emirates Lounge watching this year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special on my NetBook!

Honeymoon Day 17: 1st January (Sunday) – New Year’s Day in Sydney
We checked-out around 11am and then took the short walk to Darling Harbour, where spent most of the day. The weather was glorious – not a cloud in the sky.
