So where did February go?

And January, come to that?
Driving back from Mayfair and our first gay wedding on Saturday, we were suddenly hit with the realisation that we're just three weeks away from Easter. And we're just so not ready for this!
All we seem to have done so far this year is revise the website. Several times. And improve the admin systems. And the computer system (which currently stands at a RAID 5 server on a network with two RAID 1 workstations, one standby workstation and a laptop).
We've found our way round quite a bit of new software, spent ages deciding on another album manufacturer, and put together this year's show albums. We've got ourselves a monster hi-tech printer so we can do in-house fine art prints up to A3+, we've learned how to get the best out of it, and we've almost got used to the idea that a set of pigment ink cartridges for it costs the best part of £500.
We did actually take a whole day off to go to a seminar by Joe Buissink, a Californian celeb wedding photographer of high repute, which was well worthwhile but was held in seriously naff hotel which served very bad coffee. And we've met with and got booked by some great couples whose weddings we're really looking forward to shooting!
Apart from that, Ann's got the garden just about ready for everything in it to die in the drought that we're threatened with this spring and summer, but that seems to be pretty much it.
I still don't understand how it got to be now ...
