Just An Overnight Shower

There was a very short shower of rain overnight which did not really even register in the rain gauge. Today is another glorious sunny day with temps around 27 degrees. I took a 10k bike ride today even though things were a little damp on some of the pathways! This afternoon I am around to another mate's place to see if we can set up a small home wireless network so he can swap files between their two laptops.

Trish had a call from her sister Pam yesterday. She and her husband have 'discovered' touring in a small motor home seen here to the left. They are currently in Western Australia (W.A.) and have travelled from Perth to Broome. Lou Ann, that is about 3000K's (or almost 1900mls). The distance between towns over there can be hundreds of K's so it can be a long boring trip. The town of Broome is very popular for tourists and is on the northern coast of W.A. It was formerly well known for its pearl industry.

One of the towns they passed through is called "Horrocks" which was Tricia's maiden name. There is also a Mt Horrocks out there too. This pic was obviously taken on the town's outskirts.

I am very pleased to report all is well with my PC again. I actually turned it off as well as removing the power to it for almost 30mins yesterday afternoon. This totally and completely 'wiped' the memory so that whatever had caused it to jam was fully cleared. It is back to working very well. It was torrid 90 minutes or so for me when it wouldn't work properly!
