Another Brew On

When I dropped Daphne's new laptop back to her yesterday she made the comment she could not get on to the internet. She connects via her Bigpond NextG wireless modem. Why she bought that I shall never know, she said she was 'talked into it" by the guy on the phone! We tried to quickly set it up on the new laptop but it kept saying "No Signal". As it turned out the whole NextG network across the state was in disarray yesterday and the network went down for the day! I am pleased to say I heard from her today and all is working fine. The NextG phone network is back up again this morning.

After a 12.5k bike ride I put another home-brew on this morning. That again means more bottle washing next week but that will be OK. The photo shows some of the ingredients used in making a brew. The 400grams of sugar means my final brew will be a 3.5% or "mid" strength. It is sanitizer in the 'trigger' bottle.

We have our usual get together this afternoon around at Tony's. I am looking forward to it very much.

Last night we had a phone call from our youngest daughter Kim. She had just bought tickets for a huge outdoor music festival to be held at Woodford 35k's away from where we live here in Queensland. Kim and 3 others had bought their entry tickets and had booked their flights to Brisbane. All they needed now was some accommodation! We may have them here with us for a night (or even more if nothing works out for them).
