At Last, Some Quiet Time.

It has been a particularly busy morning this morning.  I had computer club followed by the "Official" opening of one of the local parks.  The park opening was especially successful.  As President of the local community association I was very heavily involved.  It seemed to go pretty well.  It is a very warm sunny day here today so an hour or so outside in the warm sun was a bit harrowing.  All done now.  I am back at home and able to relax.

The hard drive I spoke about in the post below arrived lunch time Wednesday.  It has now taken over from the previous drive which is now utilised for archive storage.  It takes around 8 hours to move files from one drive to the other but all is now finished.

I bottle washed on Wednesday and then bottled on Thursday.  I have enough beer to sink a ship!

Trish is improving albeit slowly each day.  She still is a little dizzy from time to time.  Her not feeling a million dollars did not have a huge impact on drinks on Friday!  She was able to handle herself OK.

On Wednesday we went to the RSL and a night with Dean Vegas.  He is an Elvis Presley impersonator and does a pretty good job.  It was an entertaining evening and the food was OK.  Trish was able to use her RSL vouchers from her birthday.  These entitle you to drinks, pokie money and $15 towards a meal. She had Pork Belly while I had the Fish of the Day.

For the first half of his show, Dean Vegas was dressed as a G.I.  He was in the more familiar Elvis garb for the second half of the show. Click on the photo for a larger view.

Our youngest daughter Kim has just today purchased a 2 bedroom apartment in St Kilda.  The position is right in the middle of everything.  It is a little run down right now but a great buy when compared to the prices on neighbouring places.  Kim gets the keys at the end of May when Trish is down there.  Needless to say she is extremely excited.  We are pleased it has two bedrooms!

The footy has recommenced on TV.  We also get the Sheffield Shied Final live on TV as well as the Fourth test from New Delhi in India.  With heaps of beer in the fridge, plenty of sport on TV can you guess where I will be for much of the afternoon ..... and tomorrow?
