A Pleasant Sunny Wednesday

The two grand children have never been on a train before so on Wednesday we eventually found a carpark near the local suburban train station and set off. There was a fair bit of excitement as a Melbourne bound train rumbled in to the station, eyes were wide and mouths hung open too. A few minutes later it was our turn to hop on a Pakenham bound train for a 15 minute ride to the end of the line. We saw cows, sheep and horses (and plenty of new homes being built).

It took a little time to understand exactly what was happening but slowly broad smiles crept over the faces of Charlie and James as they took it all in. We arrived at Pakenham late in the morning and left the train for a walk around some shops. The hot chips were great for lunch too.

Later we returned to the station for the 15 minute trip back to Berwick where the car was parked.

Later in the afternoon the Trish and Kate prepared for a "Linen Party" Kate was hosting. There were over a dozen people coming. I believe the Linen Party provider found the evening to be quite profitable.

It was great to see Carol and David Tuesday afternoon. Our calendar is now almost full with people to catch up with before we return home next Wednesday. I managed to get a 500GB 2.5" external drive for Arj at a great price on Tuesday.

Kate and Arj have a new big screen TV. It has a built in media player which is fantastic. Arj loves his movies off the internet as well as having ready access to his music. You just plug the external HDD into a USB connection and hit the "Media Player" button while the TV is on and there you have full access to everything musical or film on the drive.

I have been spending some time here finetuning my web sites, especially the site on how to access movies from the internet. I did have downloads of pirate programs there but I have removed them and left links to websites which have the downloads rather than have direct download links. You can check out my "Movies How To" website HERE.
