2015!

2015 didn't start quite as I hoped. I fell ill on the New Year's Day with pneumonia and am still not quite well. And 2014 didn't end as I expected either. During my trip to Lisbon my lens (Nikon, 18-200 mm) broke. Literally, broke. When looking through the lens, I could see some loose wires. However, as this happened just before Christmas, MrMojcek didn't have much thinking to do about my present :-)

RIP, 18-200

And the plans for 2015?
- publish 3 papers (must do)
- travel 3 times (hope to)
- finish renovating and decorating 3 rooms (want to).

Will let you know in a year's time.

Tigggerrrr party

Maybe it's time we start behaving like responsible adults. 

Maybe not.

So that we can still have tiger-themed birthday parties.

And cakes like this:

 And birthday presents like this (thank you, He, M&P!)

I was most impressed by what MiniMojcek Nr.1 prepared for me, illustrating my wishes:

That's me in my Peugeot, leaving the house and driving to the airport, where the whole world waits for me.

Moons of Jupiter

I've been playing a bit with my new camera and wanted to see if I could get a decent photo of the Lovejoy comet. Well, I could get photos of the comet but no really decent ones ...

So Mr. Mojcek and I turned the camera to Jupiter. And it turns out, not only could I get a photo of Jupiter but also of its moons!

And I should add: hand-held camera :-)

I sort of understand how Galileo must have felt when he saw the moons for the first time...
