All Is Ordered

Scott, the guy building the new PC for me popped in here at home late yesterday afternoon and we ordered all the parts online. If all goes to plan, the parts should be available for pickup Tuesday afternoon.

He will pop around here at a suitable time and we will build it together. We did the ordering on the 'old' PC and he could hear the disk drive whirring away and not sounding too healthy. He is even more convinced that the problem with it is the hard disk drive. A new one will cost about $60!

However he wants to run a diagnostic test on it first and then perhaps put a temporary drive in and see how the PC runs afterwards.

He seems to know his way around the PC and I believe I am getting a pretty good deal.

We watched some pretty good footy yesterday afternoon and evening. My team were on a 30 minute delay on TV here so we kept up with scores via the internet. Knowing that my team had won made watching the last quarter on TV pleasurable! Trish's team had a good win too.

We were expecting rain yesterday but didn't get any. About 10 pm the sky opened up and there were 55mls in the rain gauge this morning. More showers are expected today and heavier rain Monday and Tuesday. Already we are up to our April average and we still have a couple of weeks to go.

A little noisy around here with school holidays on for Easter.

Our new neighbours have settled in next door and we rarely hear them.

Lou Ann in West Texas is experiencing very dry weather and windy weather. Humidity is around 5% - 15% and there are severe bushfires in their area. Incredible place this world isn't it?
