The Test match finished in less than three days throwing heaps of plans into disarray. It allowed me time to catch up with friends Gordon and Anne on Saturday afternoon and Barry and Rainy on Saturday night. Other friends John and Sue are popping in this afternoon at Kate's place.
The previous evening we enjoyed a meal with Keith and June. I took the laptop around as well as the hard disk drive and copied a heap of movies and TV shows over for them. I packed the power leads and mouse into a separate package. However when we got there the mouse was nowhere to be found. For all intents and purposes it has vanished from the face of the earth!The last day or so has been spent using the touchpad on the laptop. The missing mouse cost me $4-95 from China! I have another one exactly the same at home so it will be pressed into action. I am becoming more proficient at using the touchpad though!
We have known Barry and Rainy from when we were neighbours in Hampton Park. Our kids have grown up together and have been lifelong friends. Their daughter Tammy even works as a teacher at the same school as Kate and Arj. We were delighted to be with them last night when they received a text message from Tammy last night saying her long time partner Kane had proposed to her Saturday evening.
Today will be spent quietly but beginning to tidy everything up as we go. We hope to be on our way around 8:00 am tomorrow morning (Monday). The trip to Goulburn should take around 8 hours.
UPDATE: We have just dropped the Melbourne Car (Telstar) off at Keith and June's who look after it for us. Trish found the lost mouse near their TV set. It must have fallen out of the the zip up case I use for carting the laptop around while I was looking for a electricity powerpoint the other night.
