Some fabby pictures

I haven't been posting as often as I'd hoped. But today I went to my grandparents' house in Ambleside during an elaborate cover up of my sister, Liz, who is coming back today (Tuesday) but my mother doesn't know yet.
In a complicated plan, Lizzie was due back a week today but decided a couple of weeks ago to come home a week early (which is today) before Beccy and I are due to leave on what we thought would be next Monday (19th). Thus formulating a plan to surprise / scare my mother. Then she decided to continue travelling in Brazil with someone she had met out there and come back on the original date planned (19th). Mel, my other sister, told my mum the what the surprise was going to be. Now Liz has decided to come back today so the surprise is back on with mum thinking the surprise is off. I think in the industry they call it a triple bluff i.e. to bluff three times thus confusing the hell out of everyone and leaving the family to run around after her. But it'll be nice to see her. Meanwhile I leave you with some photos as the published album is a bit non existant at the moment. Now I'm not sure if this is going to work but here goes.
This is Beccy and I on the day of my graduation in a very nice Cafe in Durham called Saddlers. Thankfully the weather was fantastic and bright and Mr Bill Bryson, in his capacity as the chancellor, said that it was the most perfect place to be graduated.

This is the man himself, Mr X and my mum and Stuart's daughter; Alexis during the recent holiday to St Kitts. The bar is the Shiggidy shack and Mr X is the owner. Find it down at south Frigate bay! The entrance to the Shiggidy Shack Bar. Beccy and I pose on the last night of our holiday. A holiday I'll never forget!

David, Stuart and I went scuba diving with Mr X and a couple of his mates. Here we learn the very basics in the shallows before heading off to the reef!

Hi Si,

Are the pictures meant to be, er, clickable (if that's the word)? The cursor changes to one which would suggest they are when you move over them, but nothing seems to happen when you click. Is that right? THANKS!

Hey Jonath,

Yes and no. I think it's a bug in the software. I've tried to edit the HTML of the post to make it work but it got very confusing and it started to annoy me so I left it for another day.

I'll try and sort it out...
