Just Glorious

The title describes the weather we have been enjoying.  Top temps in the mid to high 20's, lows around 14 and above and pretty much cloudless skies have made living here on the Sunshine Coast exceptional.

Trish remains busy with her 'organisations' and my internet stuff keeps me going.  The PC continues to run beautifully and as you can see from the photo, the scenery in this wonderful weather is spectacular.

I took this photo on yesterday's bike ride. The quick swim I had after the bike ride was challenging, the pool temp now is around 21 degrees.  It was a very quick in swim indeed on Friday morning!

One of our BeCA Committee Members (and good friend) has his elderly mother in poor health and the outlook doesn't appear positive at all.  A few of us pitched in to help and get the Newsletter to be published yesterday.

Drinks on Friday afternoon was most civilized with a 3 pm start and a 5:30pm finish.  John's mother in law is staying with them while she undergoes extensive chemo for cancer.  John and Marg have found it difficult to get to drinks so we were invited to their home for yesterday's gathering.

Next today is the Computer Club for me then back home to settle into the arm chair and watch all the footy.

I put another brew on yesterday.  I went to exhaustive lengths to ensure the equipment was sterilized.  A mix and long rinse of 25% bleach 75% water should hopefully ensure all is sanitized.  This was followed by a liberal coating of spray on sanitizer.  Finally a rinse out with boiling water should mean there are no taste spoiling nasties left behind.  The brew is now bubbling quietly in the garage as I type.

I will bottle wash early next week and bottle around Friday as long as everything is ready.

Whilst in Melbourne, Arj introduced me to a website trick called 'Scribd", a free service which enables you to 'embed' a photo or text file (pdf) into a website.  It worked really well when I put a pdf version of the latest BeCA Newsletter into a post.  Check it out HERE. It may take a few seconds for the page to load but it looks great and gives us another way to communicate with the Community.
