It's A Small World

Friday night was a little nerve racking with my footy team winning by a mere 2 points! Not the most restful Friday night I have had!

Computer Club Saturday morning and then watching more sport on TV over the weekend. Tony, who bought the laptop recently, has been trying to get his Skype to work and it now appears all is going well at last. He bought a Dell laptop who are known for their excellent backup service. It appears Tony needed to have some drivers updated so when he rang support (in the Philippines) the tech there took control of his laptop remotely and updated the drivers for him. We then had to reconfigure Skype to see his speakers before all was working OK.

On Monday I spent some time wandering around an "Anaconda" outdoors store which has recently opened here on the Sunshine Coast. Thank heavens the share market is still not too good or I would have brought home heaps of useless (but good) stuff! That was a great way to spend an hour!

We have met a lady (Betty) here on the estate. She walks daily and that is how we met her. She is on her own so I have been around to help out with sorting out her pool a couple of times. Trish has popped in several times for a coffee and chat. Currently Betty's mother is visiting and she lives close to where we were in Melbourne. Betty's mum asked me if I knew Betty's sister Beverly because she says she knows us! It turns out Bev is good friends with our former neighbour 'Rainy" who now lives at Drouin. It is a small world! Trish and I met Bev 12 months ago when in Melbourne for Rainy's 50th birthday party.
