I’ve been mas-uploading photos to Facebook recently – not really my cup of tea but its a great way of sharing the holiday snaps with the Indonesian contingent of the family who are mostly young and into facebooking etc. Considering the trials and tribulations I’ve been through I might save some of you the heart/headaches [...]
