Taking Yourself Not Very Seriously

Category: Anna's Photos,PersonalChrisM @ 3:47 pm

This was to be a post showing Dana and Asen with their Alan and our Anna, but then I remembered they asked for their photos to not be made public after the wedding a few years back, so instead have a look at these shots instead…

These were shot on the 9th July.

Dana, Asen And Alan Pop Round

Category: Anna's Photos,Friends,PersonalChrisM @ 2:19 pm

The same day (26th June) Anna experimented with non-conformist sleeping, Dana, Asen and their son Alan popped over, as they were visiting Kazakhstan before returning to Israel. By the time I remembered to grab the camera, Alan was already having a nap, so you’ll “just” have to make do with Dana and Anna in this shot.

Almost There

Category: Friends,Kazakhstan,PersonalChrisM @ 8:17 pm

This is just a quick post to wish this site’s readers a very Happy New Year.

We currently have Marilyn & Peter over (Chris & Tim’s parents), as well as John’s son and daughter-in-law and their kids, with midnight fast approaching. To our American visitors, I hope you are warming up to the evening well, to my UK amigos, just under four hours to go. To my Kazakh readers, Snovum Goddum, hope you are already having a great 2009. (Over there, Western Xmas is barely noticed, Orthodox Xmas is observed, but New Year is the big deal.) Big HELLO to Walton, Assel, DavidG, ChrisK, The Dans & their respective familys, DrKen, lovely friendly Northern bloke I’ve temporarily forgotten the name of, Mel, the in-laws, Dana & Assen, Mira, Bayen & son and everyone else – thanks to all for your support over the last year/months (delete as applicable πŸ™‚ ).
With Arriving to Britain, settling in, Christmas, New Year, and the baby due in February, it is possible that site will see a few less posts in the future, however the blog will remain here (assuming I remember to renew the hosting πŸ™‚ ), and I’ll try to get back to regular posting ASAP.

You Can Now Subscribe To Comments!

Category: Friends,Personal,WordPressChrisM @ 1:03 am

Just a quick note to let you know that courtesy of the Subscribe To Comments v2.1 Plug In, you can now be e-mailed whenever someone replies to a post that interests you.

Of course, you could always subscribe to this blog’s RSS feeds (Yep that big orange button on the right is for the feed of posts, and you can also subscribe to the comments feed). However, some people are not yet comfortable with feeds, and others may simply only want to be notified when comments are made on the posts that interest them.

Anyway, give it a try the next time you leave me a comment (oh yeah, Dad, Nick, Alex Clarke, Seb & Con, Balzhan, Chris Barry, Christina, Dana & Asen, Emma F, Gavin, Jo Swale (neΓ© Yates), Kate (she who must be obeyed), Keith, Natalya K., Ramon, Tom, Tanya & Steve you are all VERY naughty… I know most of you have occasionally checked the blog out, but haven’t yet left a comment! It really is very simple, and it reminds me that you still check in here) ChrisD gets a special mention for commenting once in a blue moon, and still having not posted his comments on his last trip to Kazakhstan, some 6 months later. He is hopefully coming over again this year, some time after Alex C.
So you miscreants are being e-mailed a link to this post, to remind you I’m still here πŸ™‚ I’m hoping some of your e-mail accounts don’t have over-active spam filters.

PS This post isn’t sponsored, I’d been looking for a plug in with this sort of functionality, without any need to modify the theme’s files.

Had An Early Xmas Meet Up

Category: Friends,PersonalChrisM @ 3:39 pm

With our friends here in Astana…
Tom has already blogged about it, so if you’ve not yet checked out the post, you can read it here.

We all met up early, as this is the last full weekend in 2006 that some of us will be here…
(oh and btw it is now just over 168 hours to go Tom πŸ˜‰ )
Really enjoyed the night, just wish Dana’s other 0.5 could have been there, but he had a previous family commitment.
