A Cold Cold Saturday!

The south westerly winds have blown in over SE Queensland. Last night it was down to 7.5 degrees and today's top will be lucky to get to 19. It doesn't get much cooler than this here! Sounds like a great day to watch footy on the TV! We have some sun from time to time but there is a fair bit of cloud too.

This photo was taken at a park called Little Mountain Common near to us. This is a creek which runs beside the park and it is showing some signs of wear from accommodating the recent heavy rainfall. You may be just able to make out NZ Bob and his dog BJ who are regular walkers around the estate. My bike is in this shot too.

You will see NZ Bob better in this one. (But you will have to click on the photo for the larger view). This is Little Mountain Common and the bike path goes all around this pretty area. Today I took one step off the pathway onto the grass and finished in in 4" of water! This is a pretty spot for bike riding.

At last we got our VoIP up and running on the new router. VoIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol and uses an internet connection to make the phone call rather than the regular Telstra phone network. The Caller ID on your phone will show "Private". The line quality is not as good as the regular Telstra line quality but is pretty good anyway. At 10c nationally for an untimed call it is a very good value. We can use our 'ordinary' cordless phone system to make the calls and when on the line, it is strange to pick up the wall phone and hear regular dial tone on it! Our regular cordless phone system will then pick up regular incoming calls over the phone network.
