So i’m not quite sure how but I managed to pull a muscle in my lower back last weekend. Now I hurt my back years ago, but its never really done much more than ache, and then only when I had over done it. This time however I have been in total agony, and laid up most of the week. Coughing or sneezing brought tears to my eyes, and going up and down the stairs was a major excursion.

Thankfully by Thursday it was starting to ease up and by Friday morning it was back to just aching. So today I arranged to meet Katrina and take William and Eleanor to the park to feed the ducks. It was a beautiful day and the walk around the ponds really loosened up my back, and allowed me to get some fresh air for the first time in a week.

Near the end of our walk I remembered that I hadn’t tried recording any video on the iPhone 4, so I grabbed a few seconds of Eleanor singing a unique version of “Old MacDonald had a farm”. Far too cute not to post!

Another beautiful day and another day out, this time with Katrina, William, & Eleanor. A preplanned event, to try out Katrina’s new Picnic hamper, we headed for Tri lakes. We couldn’t have asked for better weather and the kids loved every minute of it. The picnic hamper was also a great success!

As usual you can find all the photo’s in the Photo Gallery or on Flickr.

A few weeks ago I joined Katrina, William, & Eleanor on a trip to the Living Rain Forest. I took a long my Zi8 and shot a little footage to test the camera out. I haven’t done anything to the video other than import it into iMovie 09 and apply a theme. I’m however pretty impressed with the quality!

So Sunday was a lovely Roast beef dinner with Mum, Dad, William, & Eleanor, followed by a trip to the park. More pictures available in the gallery, and on flickr.
