Friday's News

The dryer (very cheap and a bit tinny) became available yesterday so we picked it up. We think for the dozen or so times each year we need a dryer in this part of the world it will serve our purposes very nicely. It sits well on top of the front loading washing machine we have as this picture shows.

Friends Russell and Irene have arrived safely in Townsville. They are catching up with another friend June Daymond today and then having a quick look around the town over the next few days. On Tuesday they are heading 60 or so K's further north to a spot called Rollingstone. Most likely this will be their furthest spot north.

After sending the salt chlorinator to Brisbane for repairs under warranty I removed the top from the pool filter cover and built this wider cover. This will protect the repaired salt chlorinator from the sun a lot better. I don't know when the repaired unit will be sent back to us.

Time for another home brew to go on. Now the weather is cooling off a bit, especially overnight, I have to use the "Heating Pad" to keep the brew at a reasonable temperature so the brewing process can occur. I will be bottle washing over the weekend (between footy matches on TV I guess!)

At last a sunny day but a chilly south westerly wind is blowing. It is a cool 17 or so in the backyard right now! We have had 126 mls of rain for the first 8 days of June!

I have given up on waiting for Netspace to provide us with a VoIP phone service. They have been unable to put new users on for about three weeks now I have read on the internet. We have done some research and have gone with a group called "MyNetFone". Put the name into Google and you will find their website. It may be all 'Go' later on today (if we are lucky).
