I particularly liked your 'slow water' photos, and your friends look like a fun and funny bunch. I hope you kept warm and snug on your recent trip away though, as it looked fairly chilly. Take care.

I on the other hand was surrounded by technology this weekend - I was walking in the Dublin parade and f it's true that a photo takes a piece of your soul, then I'm damned for eternity. The sheer amount of mobiles and digital cameras was quite overwhelming! Glad you switched off though! I’m liking your thinking.

Spent my time snowboarding, reading, eating, drinking and catching up with friends who don't hang out online. I really enjoyed it and I didn't miss being connected at all. In fact it was liberating. I think it's good to go completely offline for a few days every couple of months just to maintain perspective and recharge. I’m just back from 9 days of being completely offline.

Best two weeks ever. We had to drive for an hour and buy a callcard (our mobiles totally didn't work) to tell our parents I had proposed (she said yes).
