Richard's World
Australia's black swan shocked the early European explorers. They were unable to comprehend such a dramatic reversal of their own white swan. First seen in the west, the swam gave its name to the Swan River on which Perth, capital of Western Australia sits.

Breaking NewsWeebly
Richard has returned home from Adelaide armed with many exciting ideas. It can be difficult to log in. Must go through Weebly's main page. Some images slow to load. Some elements require paid membership e.g.. video! It is essential to be aware of copyright. All photos etc on this page are the property of the site's owner. There is some instability in uploading images. Keeping them small does not seem to make a great difference but would help, as in this further example of the Spirit one Tasmania, loading at dusk. Video I made the movie using clips imported from iPhoto. My camera defaults all downloads to iPhoto. When I launched iMovie the application automatically searched iPhoto for videos and moved them into iMovie. To work on the clips you have to get a yellow box around clip in bottom box and drag to the space above. Then you can add titles etc by again click and drag. I exported it to quicktime for viewing. Note that the time line box and the clip collection box can be changed back and forth, on top or below. Arrow button does it. I was used to time line on the bottom. Youtube Some suggestions: keep video light on in memory, use iPhoto export to youtube, it seems more stable, own copyright, choose small for iPad and iPhone etc. By putting it on YouTube you have video content but do not need to pay for the privilege. It also spreads the data size. Cook's Endeavour Spent a great afternoon exploring Cook's Endeavour at Victoria Dock, Melbourne with our great friends, Ron and Lesley. Here.

Government schools are inclusive and they are educating a nation not merely a exclusive section. The bathroom At last our new bathroom is complete. The work was well done and came in below budget.

We had a great August in the UK and we fell in love with castles - some ruinous like Corfe Caste and Dinefwr Castle which is deep in the middle of South Wales. Other castles were used until the end of the last world war such as the Tower of London and Castle Cornet where German pill boxes appear as new as when the were built in 1940.
