Hi all.

My name is Francine, living in Melbourne now.

Born in Luxembourg (Europe), married to a South African, lived 10 years in South Africa; 2 years in Ireland, 18 month in the UK and recently , about 8 month ago moved to Melbourne.

The avatar is a picture of my "baby", my youngest daughter. The picture is from the UK, and Rebecca is 8 years old now.

Originally I am a Frecnh speaker, and out home language is English.

Hello,

Thanks for the warm welcome.

The photo of my daughter was to big to upload as an avatar. Too bad.

Un bojour de Melbourne.

Welcome to the site.

Have you tried making your avatar smaller and saving it as a gif to get the file size down?

Thanks,

I have tried, and ended up on your blog.

Brilliant.聽 Like your blog. Really.

To size down the photo is a bit of en exploit for an "computer whiz" NOT

Will take me time to figure this one out.... Will keep me out of mischief.

Yippe
