Blogging/Picasa/My Heritage

I have set up a Picasa account, which I will be using to link too from here for my photos - seems like a decent site, its google owned (I think it is, it certainly integrates well with my google account) and has some good features. So as a first link, here are some pictures I took when i first arrived 2 weeks ago of the house where I am staying. It really is a fantastic home, in an excellent location.

I also continued with something I started end of 2008 - documenting my own Geneaology. I am using a cool piece of software called My Heritage Family tree builder. The oldest family member I have is the birth of my great great grandmother in 1868. Hopefully when my Italian is a bit better I can perhaps research a bit more!

I had a potato omelette for lunch. Strange for me as I have not eaten anything like that before, but it was awesome!

Tomorrow a friend of the family arrives from Paris, as well as the family returning from their ski trip, so it will be cool to have everyone back, although I imagine its going to be chaotic!
