The world’s latest wide-body aircraft, Airbus A350 landed in Liszt Ferenc International Airport in Budapest for the first time today.
Lufthansa’s ultra-modern aircraft arrived in the Hungarian capital to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the German airline launching its first regular flight to four CEE cities including Belgrade, Budapest, Bucharest and Zagreb.
Following a tradition of nearly 40 years set by Boeing 737, 747 Jumbo and the world’s largest passenger aircraft Airbus A380, Lufthansa is now the first airline to present the most state-of-the-art passenger plane in the world in Hungary.

My first attempt on Brenizer Method. Wife was happy to be the model :) Very challeging method and needs a lot more practice!

Visiting a friend in Cape Cod, The Professor got his first taste of the ocean. It was salty, of course, but he loved every minute of it.
I did a lino cut course with Amanda Hillier earlier this year and this is the framed result. I love linocuts! Started on a reduction print for my next effort and am working on some cat themed prints for my craft stall.
fantastic Eurodisco producer, brilliant remixer, he is the "new kid on the block." More comment when I have time...
Day 233.
I often drive past this row of terraces which is about 5 miles from where I currently live.
This was our first house which we bought when I was 19 and my boyfriend (then and now husband) was 20. We're talking 32 years ago naturally, but back then this mid-terrace property cost us £7,500 - the cost of a small car nowadays.
I know all prices are relative and back then I was probably earning less than £1000 a year, but I really don't know how anyone of that age can afford to buy a house these days. Prices are ridiculous. There are two houses for sale in this terrace. The one next to 'ours' is up for £89,950 and the one on the end for £10,000 more.
Ours had two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, steep stairs up the centre of the house and a lounge at the front, a dining room at the back with a tiny kitchen off that.
There was also an outside toilet and coal shed (not that we still had a coal fire or needed the outside loo).
The front door led onto the main street (with a front 'yard' which was literally that - about 3' enclosed within a wall) and a back yard completely paved over. You could get to the back of the house down a passage that ran along the back of this block of 5 houses.
You know what though? I still have fond memories of that house, despite all its faults - the stairs were really steep and I fell down them often, the old sash-windows (now replaced looking at this) were a rotten nightmare, and the fact that the front door opened directly into the lounge was not good since it was on a busy road.
But - it was OURS. We didn't rent it, the mortgage was managable and once we moved (after about 2 years) we sold it for nearly twice what we paid and so it goes.
We could never have earned or saved as much as we made on the sale and it meant we could move on up the property ladder.
I look at this now though, and the prices and really feel sorry for any young kids starting out.
Heres my first Panorama shot that I did with CS4 for the first time.... I can't believe how easy this was to do....
Here is one of the shots I did this morning at the photoshoot in Blydenburge park in Smithtown.....
This is a first - on many levels.
My first attempt to make a patchwork 'image'.
My first wonky house.
My first hoopframed thingy.
And the first thing made in years and years that is purely for decoration - nothing else.
It was great fun to make, and framing it in the hoop was a lot more difficult than I thought - but I ended up kind of satisfied, since the snowman now lives in a house :-)
It was sent to chocolate_isthe_best_medicine in the MMM-swap. I could not post the picture of it before, since she specifically had said that she loved snowmen and also wonky houses - I thought that would be too much of a giveaway to a secet partner... but now he arrived in his new home far away, and I can strut my wonky picture!
