Anzac Day and Perfect Weather

The possible storm I spoke about in a recent post did not eventuate. We had a clear glorious moonlight night. However there was flickering on the walls throughout the night from the electrical storms going on out to sea. The flashes were bright enough to be seen inside the house via the windows.

I have taken about 140 photographs using the $20 Hong Kong camera battery and fast charger and still no sign of a "low battery" icon on the camera's LCD screen.

No sign of new renters next door at this stage.

The guy over the road has just upped his broadband speed and allocation. He has now gone to 1500kbps over my 512kbps. However my download speed is about 430kbps while he is getting 150kbps. I have been spending some time over there trying to see what the problem is, without any luck. He is with Optus and they tell him his 150kbps is 'within Optus' limits for a 1500 speed connection!

Temp is about 26 or 27 at the moment and hardly a cloud in the sky. It would be a great day for a BBQ at the free BBQ's in the local park ... except we have the footy on TV this afternoon.

It has been a huge Anzac day here with record crowds all over the Sunshine Coast attending Dawn Services and marches!
