Friday Catch Up

Wednesday was spent reasonably quietly. A bike ride to start the day off then an hour or two bottling the brew. It all went per plan.

There has been heaps of cricket on TV so I have found myself in front of the box a fair bit. I watched Queensland Vs NSW on Wednesday and I have watched a fair bit of the ICC Cup matches in India too. Especially enjoyed the games from Jaipur with The Pink Palace in the background. We visited Jaipur when in India in the 90's.

Thursday saw us venture down to Brisbane's outer northern suburbs and Chermside. Chermside is to Brisbane as Chadstone is to Melbourne. There has been a big expansion at Chermside so we went for a look around. We saw petrol at 93c per litre at a Coles Service Station in Brisbane which means with your 4c off voucher it would have been 89c.

Pool was at about 22 this morning and the days have been in the mid 20's with low humidity. Today we have a blustery north wind and a much warmer day. A quiet day after a visit to the Chiropractor with a tender back then a little shopping and looking at possibly a new BBQ.

We are after a 3 burner BBQ, a bit smaller than what we now have. They usually come as a 'pedestal' BBQ but without a door at the front where the gas bottle goes. Therefore to turn it off you need to swing the BBQ around and turn the gas bottle off from the back. They all seem to be like that. Not practical!

I notice several people have downloaded RipIt4Me from the "Some Links" on the right hand side of the page. Did it download the 4 programs OK and install them? Looking for some feedback on it all so drop me an email on it. I hear later downloads like this have some adware in them. This one should have been clean. Most times when copying a DVD movie you would only have to use the 'Shrink' program from the download. It does a great copying job 19 times out of 20 I find.
