Mountains nearby

Experimenting with the aspect ratio of my Canon G12, getting more widescreen shots for the landscape outside,

Cheese spread for quick supper - I in charge of the toaster for the smoked salmon - M&J had maybe 6 slices a piece? The live action aspect stimulated appetite, I figure.

And Carolyn celebrated her birthday with a fruit-layered cake by our Portuguese baker. We had a lovely day highlighted by the boys & their gifts, ending with a mushroom fondue near the cathedral.
