Much Improved Weather

The post below spoke of an expected top of 19 degrees for Wednesday.  In Brisbane it only got to 17 or so.  We don't get much colder than that up here.  Since then it has been low to mid teens overnight and around 23 during the day.

Life continues to roll along while Trish is in Melbourne with the family.  Bills have been paid for the solar and submissions have been made for solar rebates.  That is all up and running now and seems OK, (It is hard to tell really!)

I had lunch at Mooloolaba Surf Club on Thursday.  $12-50 for 'Seniors' Fish and Chips and open access to the roast vegies smorgasbood.  It was great and I finished up quite satisfied.  Thursday morning I put another brew on (a "Blonde" mix this time).

Later in the afternoon I poppped around and helped an older couple set up their wireless modem. Not surprisingly what was meant to be an under an hour job took several hours and calls to the Bigpond "Help Line".  In the finish it is all up and running but Bigpond sure do things strangely when creating new accounts.

I think the same person designed the online rebate form for converting to the Energex Tariff 33.  It sure wasn't as you would have expected it to be put together.  Anyway we eventually got there.

Drinks was as pleasant as usual around at Kerrie's and Ian's on Friday. To lighten the load on hosts we had all decided not to have major eats and nibbles at drinks.  Hostesses were preparing 'meals' and it was just too much.  So I expected to be home by 6pm on Friday.  That wasn't the case because the little boys, party pies and other hot nibblies were produced at around 6pm.  This puts the pressure on others to do the same after we had agreed not to do it any more.

At this stage it looks like "The Curry Bowl" is on the agenda for Tuesday night's meal.

I bottle washed this morning.  I have now got that down to around 50 minutes so it isn't the major chore it once was. The dish washer went on around 10 am to make best use of the available solar energy.

Footy has been most enjoyable yesterday.  It is much easier when my team plays a lower ranked team, there is little pressure and it is a lot more fun.  I especially enjoyed the St Kilda-Bulldogs game.  It was great entertainment and quite exciting towards the end. Earlier in the day I had been to Computer Club where I had a hassle trying to solve someone's email problems.

More footy today and then possibly a movie tonight.  Trish returns home in a week.
