Facbook facial recognition

Facbook is expanding its facial recognition features...hmm.

Sounds good, like to help combat fake accounts (someone stole a photo of me [unlikely]) and to alert me whenever a photo or video is posted that includes yours truly [again unlikely].

Boronia Veterinary Clinic

TO: Dr. Tony Hayes
FROM: Alan & Eva Mackenzie
ANIMAL: Holly Mackenzie
SUBJECT: Recovery from leg operation

Hi there,

Holly is one week into recovery from cruciate ligament surgery performed by Dr Tony last Monday 12^th. Everything is going well and all the recovery signs are good.

However this morning she was sun baking after her toilet outing we noticed she still has a swollen lump on the inside of her knee.

Mum & dad now worried so Dad is sending attached pictures for Tony to review and please call us on 9561-5259.

Holly update - one week since her SCL op

Holly update - one week since her leg op and when we arrived home this afternoon from shopping she was at the front door looking through the foyer window with her new toy that we bought last week that has been lying next to her bed untouched since last Tuesday - another good recovery sign :-)

DIY Twin floor lamp 2

DIY Twin Floor Lamp - Part 1

Some time ago bought a couple of LED downlights with 240V plug leads. Finally decided to do something with them – a twin floor lamp. This will stand between the two mitre saws that are parked at the front of the workshop against the roller door.

Found a piece of plywood the right size.
