2005 and a new blog. After a month off to avoid some of the Mongolian winter I'm now back in UB (Ulaanbaatar for the un-initiated). It was minus 39 Celsius at the airport when I came in a couple of weeks ago, it's now slowly starting to warm up (minus 15 to minus 25 these days) and get much lighter - I no longer go to and from work in the dark - nice!
After work I'm slowly trying to rebuild my main web-site after deleting it from the host server and then loosing the whole working folder from my laptop (thanks a lot Dreamweaver). Fitting that in while working 8 till 6, seven days each week, isn't proving to be too fruitful, give me another week and there may actually be some photos up at last.
Late December and most of January was spent in Europe relaxing and playing, so no new photos. A Welsh Christmas, a Scottish New Year, a English road trip with an good friend visiting babies, and then a couple of weeks in Chamonix, France, on the snowboard. As usual, poor off-piste condition for most of the time until just before I left when it started to dump down with snow.
A couple of set-backs during this last week. Firstly my D100, a previously trusty camera, has started having problems with the first shot after power-on. Could be the 25,000 photos in the last 2 years combined with the dust, temperature and vibration of travelling in Mongolia I suppose. Second problem is that last night I think I broke a toe on my fantastically socialist-style 'sofa'. It's made of 3 wooded box-like chair sections joined together with nailed on nylon carpet (yeah, as comfortable as it sounds...) and I now know the central section sticks out half an inch from the other two.
TPS, Ulaanbaatar.
