Cyclone To Hit Up North

Tropical Cyclone 'Andrew' is due to hit the northern Queensland Coast around Townsville overnight. This is about 1400k's north of us here.

If you lived in Melbourne this is about the same as the cyclone crossing the coast at Coffs Harbour NSW. So the action is a long way from us on the Sunshine Coast. However we are experiencing monster seas right now making the surfers really happy.

I did a little more checking out on the DVI-HDMI adapter I bought which didn't work. I have ordered a replacement which at $3.80 delivered. I can buy a similar adapter here in Australia for $5. Postage and handling costs ranged from $12 to $30. Why would you buy here?

The Vacuum Cleaner was making a bit of a smell. A mate checked it out for us and it appears we are up for a new one.

Computer Club yesterday saw me busy again.

At last we received 'live' coverage of the night session of the Australian Open for the Women's Final. We enjoyed the match very much. All other coverage of night tennis we have received here has been delayed by 1 hour. Rather strange that Lou-Ann in Texas or Kim currently travelling in India can probably watch the match live while here in Queensland we get it 1 hour delayed!

After the tennis we watched the Coen Brother's new movie "True Grit". It wasn't the best quality copy but it was watchable. We both enjoyed it very much. I enjoy most of the Coen Brothers' movies going back as far as "Fargo". "True Grit" certainly has the traditional "Coen Brothers" stamp on it!

Quite windy here right now with an occasional shower. It is enough to make bike riding a hassle this morning so I will have a day off.
