Challenge day
Where I live
Our Balcony is top left,with the Xmas lights on !!
Hectic life just carries on.Swine flu is running rife in Germany at the moment (have you got it where you are ?) and over a third of everybody at work are sick at the moment so the few left fit,well and fighting are having to push out the over time to make up for the sick and missing !!

Hey Anthony! I guess people can find you if they follow the star of Bethlehem. I'm so glad you gave the challenge. Now I see the balcony from the outside. This is where you got the great views that we saw earlier, right?
I put my home (livingroom, view into the family room and through the window into the backyard) on Christmas morning last year. You can see it here: http://sjginsberg.aminus3.com/
