Wednesday Again

It has been a while since I last entered something on my blog page.

The weekend saw me to the Computer Club again where I was pleased to be able to help some people out again. The rest of the weekend was spent as a couch potato watching the Aussie Rules footy on TV.

Monday was bottle washing day followed by a visit to a friend named Betty who we have met while riding. Betty has just had a pool put in and had a few problems with the installer. The pool 'handover' was brief so Betty wasn't sure how to run her salt chlorinator. It is the same make as the chlorinator we have on our pool but it is the latest model. We were able to work it all out though.

Trish did her volunteer morning at the Tourist Info Centre Tuesday morning while I was busy investigating movie downloads on the internet.

The computer is working pretty well at the moment with only one 'restart' required the last 3 or 4 days. Trish is sewing this morning and then later today we are invited to a friend's place for tea. I will spend a bit of time with him getting him to be able to download movies, setting up the appropriate software, registering at the better download sites and finally setting up his Rapidshare Account. That Peter enjoys a few beers and red wine is a further benefit. He is also a keen cook and is doing the cooking for the meal.

The photos above were taken the other morning and are of the Bellvista Lake, the centre piece of the estate, and a nesting black swan which has made its home at Lake Bellvistsa.

Today I bottled a brew and here is another box ready for the 4 week wait until it is OK to drink. Our weather has been overcast and showery with max temps about 24. Being cloudy, it is not cold overnight with temps around 15 or so. We have had a few mls of rain each night, enough to keep the garden watered and enough to prevent us from riding the last two days. Right now mid morning it is a cool 17 degrees with showers threatening!

I had an email from our grandson Andrew yesterday with a movie attached. It is a quick clip of him playing Aussie Rules footy which he just loves. I have uploaded the clip to Youtube and the link is to the right no. 9 in Rogue's Gallery - Movies of the Grand Kids! He is the little guy wearing no. 6. Or just click here.
