Very Quiet Up Here!

No real news at all up here on the Sunshine Coast. After a couple of 'dry days' we have more rain forecast over the weekend. Even though we had around 3" earlier in the week, we could still do with some more rain.

Trish is up to her usual tricks, doing Census Collecting, attending Stitchers, Quilters and Trivia. She has only four Census forms to go, 3 of which people have 'said' they have mailed it in. The fourth one is a guy who is not at all co-operative. He will most likely get a "Refusal" notice lodged against his name and possible a $100 a day fine for not doing it.

I have continued to play around with my PC. I have 'connected' the old PC up so I can run it every week or so just to keep it up to date.

The lawns were mowed yesterday, the pool vacuumed this morning and it is telling me it needs more salt. That will wait till after the upcoming rain event.

I bought a new beer fermenter yesterday, a different style to the one I usually have. It is easier to firmly shut the lid and has a different sort of airlock than the previous one. Sometimes the older style air-lock wouldn't seal properly, this newer style seals much better. The beer is bubbling away in the garage now. I will do some bottle washing early next week and have a new brew stored away before the end of the week.

The old fermenter will get a good clean out with bleach just to make sure it is 'clean'. The very old fermenter has found its way to the recycling bin!

Rain is due later today extending into Saturday and early Sunday. We are off for 'Friday Drinks' shortly.

We have plenty of footy to watch on TV over the weekend.
