A Pleasant 24 Hours

We have just farewelled Graeme, a former colleague of mine from my days teaching back in Victoria. Graeme was in the area for a few weeks, he is in the process of selling a unit he has in Kingscliff and wanted to be onsite for negotiations. His mother lives in an accommodation place near the unit as well.

Kingscliff is under 200kms south of us so is a touch over 2 hour's drive. It was great to see him again. We enjoyed quite a few home brews yesterday afternoon before he headed back after lunch today.

Another glorious day with plenty of sunshine and temps in the low 20's.

The main PC is back from its service with a clean bill of health. I was advised to remove my firewall as it was most likely causing some programs not to load and open. I am now using the installed Windows Vista firewall as well as the inbuilt firewall in the modem/router. The 'Tech's' advice was that was all that was needed, going for a third installed firewall was only going to complicate things.
