What Has Been Happening.

The family across the road have a smallish house and four girls. They are a great family. Bill (the Dad) drives heavy machinery and with all the development going on here on the Sunshine Coast he works long hours and is well paid. They are extending their home. The former garage will become the new lounge while upstairs will be an en-suite, the master bedroom and storage. Without the roof fully on, Bill and family have really noticed the cold nights recently!

They have just returned from a 4 wheel drive trek up to "The Cape". The Cape is the northern most tip of Australia and some of the countryside you pass through is real Crocodile Country. The roads are pretty rough and there is plenty of Australian wildlife to get up close and comfy to. Actually they got a bit too close to a kangaroo which they hit in their 4WD. The car is in the panel beaters having the bonnet repaired and the kangaroo has gone 'to heaven'.

After a trip to the doctor's today for my chest cold and bad cough, I am on a staple of anti-cough syrup and anti-biotics. Hopefully I will be a lot better when our guests arrive about midday on Saturday to stay with us for a week. A slab of "Coldies" has been chilled and awaiting consumption. Red wine stocks have been replenished too! All we want now is for the weather to pick up. Today is about 20 or 21 with about 10 overnight last night.

I purchased a new Logitech webcam today and I am pleased to announce it works beautifully and the printer now works at the same time!

The house next door has been sold and the 'new' family will move in next week. In about 6 weeks time only the elderly father will be there as the rest are returning to Switzerland for a time.
