Wedsnesday's Update

We are slowly getting back to normal following our Whitsundays Trip. It seems one of the other couples on our trip was welcomed home by a flooded kitchen when a dishwasher hose burst. Access to the damaged hose was limited so they needed to cut their way in! Not much fun.

This Whitsundays Trip photo shows the view when we moored off Croc Resort Long Island. Below is a visitor we had as it enjoyed the bread scraps we had thrown. Remember you can click on either of these photos for a larger view. Just click on "Back" to return to this page.


My windscreen chip has been repaired and yesterday I had to get a new mobile phone. The shop assistant said it was no problem to copy my 'phonebook' across on the PC. The phone software package however is not Vista compatible and the instructions on how to use the import feature from the PC would not work. I spent much of last night entering phone numbers into the new phone.

I will look at replacing the watch later this week.

I used Skype yesterday to catch up with "Texas Lou". We were able to speak and see each other across 8000 miles. Quite a staggering little program is Skype and it is all free too. Just as she and her husband are starting to enjoy cooler weather there, the weather here on the Sunshine Coast is warming up.

Back on the bikes this morning. This 'fountain' has been installed in a pond to restrict the growth of lilies, looks good don't you think?

Not to be outdone with my new PC, Trish bought herself an overlocker sewing machine. Right now she is working out how to use it. Now is not a good time for a quick photo to add to this page!

Our daughter Kim flies up on Saturday and returns to Melbourne on Tuesday. For those overseas, Tuesday is Melbourne Cup day, the day when Australia stands still to listen to or watch the horse race "The Melbourne Cup". The state of Victoria even has a public holiday for the event! Much of the rest of the nation comes to a standstill about 3 pm to tune in!
