Wow, It's Tuesday!

Just checked the blog and saw it has been a few days since a post so here we go.

Sunday morning Trish and I 'did' the Sunday Market in main street, Caloundra. This market as really come ahead in the last year or so and now takes up the complete main street of Caloundra. There are now a few fruit and vegie stalls as well as all sorts of bit and pieces. There is no longer a need to head to the "Famous" Eumundi Market coz it is all now here!

Monday was very much a hands on computer day. Neighbours had recently put their PC in for a new disk drive and get some RAM replaced. When they got it back much of the software had been updated and their new version of Internet Download Manager was demanding to have a legal serial number before it would work. We got it all back again and installed Internet Explorer 8 which fixed problems they had with IE7.

Much of the rest of the morning and early afternoon was spent around at a friend's place getting him ready to download movies. I had to set him up with Winrar, Internet Download Manager and show him the workings of Rapidshare and a few of the movie download sites. We also sorted him out with a new and less intrusive Anti-Virus program as well as a much easier to use firewall.

The later in the afternoon I was in town helping another 'friend' who was being told she had an illegal copy of Office 2003. I was able to fix all that up for her too! I am back there tomorrow to sort out her Anti-Virus program as well as her Internet Firewall too. It is great to be able to help some people out with their computer problems when I can.

It is beginning to cool off a little. We no longer run the ceiling fan all night and we have even reached for the doona in the early hours of the morning. This had had an impact on the pool temp too so my quick swim after my daily bike ride is now better described as 'bracing'.

Last night it was off to the Bellvista Community Association Public Meeting. I have created a Blog site for them and it received some wonderful feedback on the blog site from those at the meeting. I have also been creating a basic online website for them too and a draft version can be seen online at http://beca.izfree.com/default.htm Have a look!

This afternoon Trish is doing an afternoon's volunteer work for the Caloundra Tourist Information Office. She meets lots of interesting people there and loves the half day out.

Tomorrow morning Trish is off to Stitchers and I am off around to a mate's place to swap movies and also pick up a few tips on fixing up photos. If you go back to the Friday March 20th post you will see a photo John has worked on and improved out of sight! Hopefully I will be able to do some of that too after tomorrow's lesson!

Trish's friend Rainy from Victoria is spending a week with us beginning on Sunday. I put another brew on this morning too! It is just beginning to 'bubble' now. Our daughter Kim is looking to buy another car and is off looking at them tonight.
