A Catching Up Day

This morning, (Saturday) is a brisk bright sunny morning as you can see from this photo with an expected temp of about 24 degrees. Yesterday, Friday started out a cold miserable day but as sometimes can happen here in Melbourne, the day did improve to a pleasant sunny afternoon. Trish's had a series of photos to pass on to her sister in law Lois from her last trip down to Melbourne in November. We dropped in there for a couple of hours to make the delivery. Lois had been disappointed that a movie her daughter had brought back from the USA on a recent trip would not play in their DVD player. USA is Region 1 while Australia is Region 4. In many cases, DVD players are restricted to only play DVD's from 'their' country.

However there is a website (click here to visit it) where you can find a series of instructions on how to make most DVD players Region Free, that is enable the player to play any movie from anywhere in the world. In no time we managed to unlock the DVD player and play the USA Region 1 movie.

I also did a bit of stuff on their PC so they can easily access my blog page!

From there it was to St Kilda to visit our daughter Kim. We sat in the sun and enjoyed a few drinks before heading into Acland St St Kilda for a wonderful Malaysian meal. We arrived home late and slept well.

Things are cooling off a touch up north in Caloundra with some rain and a cooler change arriving late yesterday. This just means the top temp will be in the high 20's rather than low 30's. You can still swim and do all the outdoor things you want to do. Yesterday the kids went to the Kings Beach Sea Pool and cooled off as you can see here.

The cricket from Sydney (Australia Vs Sth Africa) starts this morning so I am planning on a bit of TV watching. I will visit a mate this afternoon and then later it is our favorite restaurant, Malaysia Garden for tea with friends Eddie and Patsy!
