Goodbyes

I don't know if anyone really likes them, but I hate goodbyes. Chu is gone now, and for once our timetable was spot on. In the morning after everyone had woken up we went to one of the beach restaurants to have brunch - I went for a variation of Eggs Benedict (I so love them), Dragon went for eggs and ham and Chu got a feta and spinach omelette. And because they gave the drinks list to Chu we all chose different Mimosas to start with - booze at 10 am isn't normally my thing but as Mimosas are champagne coctails we decided the moment was right for them.

Rest of the day was spent packing (Chu), working (Dragon) and cleaning (me) - we took a break in the middle to watch the latest episodes of Stargates and Galactica, and by the time Chu had put last of her things into her hand luggage, we still had time for a quick cup of tea. I got her a cab and took her downstairs and waved goodbye...

Home alone. Feels empty, I got used to always having her there by my side.

To cheer myself up I put best of my Pride Parade photos up on Flickr. I've used Flickr several months now, and the more I use it the more I like it - and today I finally gave in a bought the pro membership so I can organize my photos better. Check it out if you haven't already and if you have, don't forget to add me to your contact list.

A pity you didn't mention thinking about paying for flickr. Not that theres much wrong with flickr, but...

I was looking around for a place to host my stuff, and after reading, asking etc, I settled on smugmug.com (My gallery is at http://garethlewin.smugmug.com). I guess if I had blogged about using it, that would have helped you earlier :)

Unlimited storage is just too good a thing to live without for me.

Flickr Pro offers unlimited space too, with the limitation of uploading 2 GB a month which is quite enough for me. I chose Flickr because it does what I need, including moblogging, it's very nice to use, and my friends use it which is nice for some features (like sharing some photos with them only).
