Tuesday In Melbourne

We drove to Castlemaine yesterday to see my brother Geoff. He seemed quite bright and breezy when we left to return to Melbourne. It is a 300k round trip to see him but well worth it. It poured on the way there and was very gray on the way back home. The weather back up north was quite cool too according to the news on the internet. We timed our trips to miss the morning and afternoon peak traffic periods.

I then set about reformatting Arj's computer. About 5 hours later all was running smoothly with it again. It runs Windows XP and only has an 80GB drive so it can't be really loaded up with software. Things went fairly well, usually there are a few hiccups but there is only one hassle remaining and that will work out in time. It now starts perfectly where as before it would hang on startup and take three or four tries before it was usable.

Today we are baby sitting this afternoon and I hope to get a bit of shopping done this morning. Already our 'calendar' down here is filling rapidly. I have two footy matches to get to this weekend and we are baby sitting Friday and Saturday nights.

We are hoping to get back to our favorite restaurants again as well as spending a night out with Kim.
