Wind Chill Factor

The cold south westerly winds have arrived.  I delayed my bike ride until well after 9 am this morning but still I needed to put my 'spray' jacket on to keep the chill out as I rode around!

We finished with around 13 mls of rain from Friday overnight but it was enough to top up the pool again.  It must be almost 3 weeks since we last had any reasonable rain and the water level had dropped in the pool.  All is OK again now.

I spent some of Friday afternoon on a treadmill where I was doing a "Stress Test" for the cardiologist.  I think I did OK as they had to turn the machine off and not wait for me to say "Enough"!  I get my final results in a week or so.  My Hearing Aid guy wanted to see me again for a checkup also on Friday.  I reckon with my sniffly nose that my hearing would be worse but the test confirmed everything was still the same.  This surprised me as I had noticed I wasn't hearing as well.  It turned out to be the hearing aid wasn't operating properly and not that my hearing had deteriorated.  The hearing aid has gone off for repair.

Our printer hasn't been working well lately with the paper not going straight and marks all over the it.  I only ever buy cheap printers so that when they play up I can just go out and buy another one.  A large local electrical store was advertising 30% off all computer wares so between appointments on Friday I popped in to check out printers.  They had a Canon there, bottom of the range model but 'wireless'.  It didn't need to be connected to a PC by cable.  30% off dropped the price back to around $70 which I thought sounded a good deal.  I resisted the urge to purchase.

I did a little online research when I got home and found the 'going' price from JB HiFi and Good Guys was $69!  So much for 30% off sales!

My brother has bought himself a caravan and 4 wheel drive.  He takes delivery in a couple of months.  He and Jeanette are looking forward to weekends away. Jeanette is undergoing chemo at the moment.  Depending on how that all goes, they will decide on what trips they will do in the future.
