in my thanks to you the blog reader, i didn't thank jane my wife for allowing me the endless hours i've put in to funkypancake over the last [insert number here] of months.

jane's patience with me isn't limitless of course and i went too far on new year's eve by taking photos as we rolled over in to the new year.

for a while it looked like this would be the only photo i'd have of the period around midnight

(i was the only willing subject i had left)
