_Kill Alex Cross_ by James Patterson
_Kill Alex Cross_ by James Patterson When on holiday, there’s nothing better to read than a James Patterson novel. It’s quick, mindless and entertaining. I have been disappointed with some of his novels, but I do like the Alex Cross series. This one centered around two stories that ran parallel and periodically seemed to have…

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – Quiet days
Nothing new to report. Just having some quiet days – reading, swimming, sleeping and relaxing. That’s what my two-week relaxing hiatus is for, right?

iPhone camera not all that…
In my “June Bride” post a few days ago I posted some pictures. Although it was a mixed wedding, I wasn’t sure about the freedom to take pictures since it was still a ‘local’ wedding. Therefore, I figured that my new iPhone 4S would take photos as well as my beloved Nikon Coolpix. Boy was…
