Almost exactly eight years ago (in January 2006) I spotted Azar sitting on the sofa in front of my flatmate Peter’s laptop and reached for my camera. Later that year the pic became my first internet avatar when I started this blog. Anyhow, on Instagram they have a thing called Throwback Thursday (TBT) and people post old photos of themselves, or past travels, etc. And I remembered this photo as it recently came up on my friend Sledpress’s blog. Turns out it’s not only special because it features the love of my life, but also because it brought Sled over to casa az to check out this woman who had a black cat as an avatar, and thus our friendship began. Thanks Azar, you magical darling boy.

Okay, I finally gave in and opened an Instagram account. A kinda “if you can’t beat em…” thing but I’m also kinda enjoying it. So I owe apologies to both Lizzie and alejna for previously giving them grief about using such an awful platform with its over-saturating filters, blah blah. Turns out you don’t have to use any filters and latest updates include being able to straighten the image and probably some other stuff I haven’t noticed yet. I still prefer spiffing up my photos using Picasa, which is very basic but enough for what I need – cropping, straightening, lightening. But Instagram is something that I can also link to Twitter and the dread Facebook (which now owns Instagram – surprise!). Anyhoodle, here is my newish Instagram account. You’ll notice I don’t use any filters on the food pics, and neither should anyone else…
