I Should Be Back "Online" Late Tomorrow

Our 'Air Con' day yesterday (Saturday) was very pleasant.  We had endured an oppressive night on Friday with a low of around 26 degrees and plenty of humidity.  The air con went on around 9 am yesterday set at 27 degrees and stayed on all day!  After Computer Club I came home, found my way to my chair via the "Waeco" and watched Tennis and then some TV.

The outside temp dropped to 27 around 7:30 pm so it was then we opened the house up.  It dropped to under 24 degrees overnight and was much cooler.  I even woke and dropped the fan speed back as it was a little chilly under the sheet.  It is warm again today but at least the house cooled down last night so there should be little need for the air con today.

The PC has been diagnosed with a blown 'power supply'.  A replacement has been ordered and will be fitted Monday morning.  Then the computer will be further tested to ensure all components are unaffected and should be available for collection later Monday afternoon.

The warm weather meant Friday drinks poolside were enjoyed by all.  The others arrived around 3pm and didn't leave until well after 8pm.  It was enjoyed by all.  The photo shows John enjoying the hospitality, his home brew and the pool!

We loved the tennis on TV yesterday with Hewitt and Tomic both winning great finals. Today we have the One Day International cricket match from Adelaide beginning early afternoon.

The nominations for this year's Academy Awards started me into a downloading frenzy the last day or so.  The other night we enjoyed "Skyfall" while last night we watched "Argo".  I also have Les Miserables, Lincoln, The Sessions, Hitchcock, Django Unchained and a couple of others to watch.  However with the tennis now on who knows when we will get to them.

The third Mrs Brown's Boys episode for series 3 should be available soon as well.  We will find time for that!
