Cooler, Delightful, But Cold In!

Friday night drinks was very pleasant with our attendance numbers down a little, this time there were only 4 of us. It was at Ian's and he doesn't have the seating setup we now enjoy so 4 is a comfortable number to have there. Ian is in the process of having a pergola extended right across the back of his home which will solve all seating problems.

Much of my time has been spent with 'the usuals'! That is enjoying the cricket on TV and attending Computer Club. Computer Club in particular was busy.

One of the Computer Club members lives in a retirement complex which has a monthly newsletter. The one guy who does the newsletter recently took sick and unfortunately passed away so the responsibility of taking over its production has fallen onto a couple of other residents. I have suggested "Publisher" as a great program as unfortunately they are unable to get the former newsletter format file off the previous owner's PC!

I spent a little time on Saturday helping them to setup a newsletter in Publisher. However I think I will need to spend several hours with them as a we put a 'mock' newsletter together. They expect to go into full production with a new format in March.

The weather has now cooled right off. Today will be a pleasant overcast 27 or so with a good possibility of showers. Overnight we had 1 ml of rain, the first 'recording' I have had to make this year (and we are in the middle of the 'wet season'). The pool was under 25 degrees this morning, the coolest it has been for a week. We need rain for the lawns, the garden and to top the pool up. The pool water level is getting to a stage where it will have to be topped up to keep the water level OK in the skimmer box.

We have more cricket on TV today and then we get into the tennis with the Australian Open beginning on Monday and going for two weeks.
