Have I ever mentioned how much I love Microsoft Image Composite Editor?
(went for a drive and a walk at lunch time today)
Last night (I think because it was Friday and I didn't feel like doing anything else) I went on a mission to find a good panorama creator. I've used PanaVue (from 2000) in the past but it's slow and clunky and a manual process to line up pixels. So thought there must be a better way. A quick LifeHacker search later led me to Microsoft Image Composite Editor.
And it just works!
You drag images you want to merge into it, and it automagically creates panoramas with no fuss and does a pretty decent job of it too (except with water - where it sort of draws a straight line down where it can't match. This could maybe be done better by trying to smoosh the water a bit, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not too bad).
In a few hours I created 33 panoramas from pictures taken mostly this year, and 53 from our Europe trip.
This morning I did 17 from our Japan trip. The best ones of these are on the Japan blog. Check them out!
More will end up on conspiracy eventually, but here's one from our Melbourne trip.
The parents headed off this morning, their plan being to go to Mogo Zoo. Looks like they had a much better day for it than we did last time we went. Here's some of Stu's photos of our day at Mogo Zoo, as promised six months ago...

I've posted pics of red rumped parrots before, but got some super cool pics of some yesterday. Aren't they little sweeties?
So after the drenching we got two weekends ago, last weekend the mushrooms were out in full force..
Actually this was week before last .. been seeing a lot of balloons lately
Last Sunday morning I made pancakes for breakfast
Thursday morning took photos of fish
And saw a big Dong
Friday there were four gak gak birds lined up in a row
Saturday we had a pastry and coffee at Knead
and then did our food shopping afterwards.
I did a jigsaw
And did a bunch of UK planning.
Didn't end up going out for dinner, which was a bit sad-making. Watched Toy Story 1 and 2 instead.
Today it was miserable again, so stayed inside all day. Did a whole lot of nothing, played a game of Ticket to Ride Europe, and cooked dinner. Which is still cooking :)

Two years ago today we explored some of Vienna, wasted half the afternoon doing our washing, and walked a looong way along Donauinsel
