Well, we probably SEEM slack...

Only just because we haven't posted in a while. (I think I hear Julia going "who're you calling 'we'? I've been posting!!")
But anyway, time to post a bit. We're all sitting here, Julia's at the bench with her netbook, Nanny was on the couch watching videos on her Samsung tablet, but she's stopped to have some of Julia's glorious barbecued chicken on toast. Me,
I'm on my second Guinness longneck (US$2.39 a bottle, Australia!!) and blissfully happy I've got Lightworks Linux beta working again on my laptop (not without a struggle). I have done a quick little video about Keokua Beach Park at Kapa`au and Holualoa, where we're staying, but it isn't all that crash-hot because of the shaky video. Fortunately, we Linux folk usually have some awesome solution for that sort of thing, so as soon as I get back to Oz I'll be de-shaking a lot of that video I've been taking!

We didn't do much today. As in: we didn't GO anywhere... Julia did some crafting stuff -- as did Nanny -- and cooked a splendid lunch for us in about the closest thing you're going to find to Nirvana: this place:

Doesn't this look like a completely perfect way to spend a balmy afternoon? And then, such a sunset!

Oh, real quick - here's a still frame from that video I mentioned above:

Can video from a DSLR be that good? Yes, it's just that good.

So, Nanny's sitting on the couch with her tablet, Julia's online with Auntie and I'm polishing off that second tah-lie... life's GOOD!

Speaking of food: I was determined to have some of the foods of my childhood this time around. One of the things I definitely had to have was "cone sushi"... they're these egg-wrapped, rice-filled brown thingies that we used to have after a morning surfing out at Drainpipes.

The other thing I miss is "Haupia".
