A "Mixed" Weekend

My footy team was defeated by Trish's team on Friday night.  It was not entirely unexpected, Geelong had won the last 11 games straight.  The problem of playing last week while Hawthorn had the week off was plain to see as the Hawks caught and passed our score to win by 5 points.

We have a football-less day now it is Sunday.  But I see where cricket begins on TV next Sunday with the One -Day Domestic Series.

Drinks were so good Friday afternoon I spent much of Saturday in "Recovery Mode".  Kate Arj and family are currently in Brisbane where 6 students in the school's Gymnastics Team are competing today.  They will farewell the students back to Victoria tomorrow before heading up here to spend time with us.  They fly home on Sunday.

It was my first week back at Computer Club for over two weeks.  I was told that I was missed.  One guy had an interesting problem, his laptop kept on telling him his hard drive was 'full' but when you added up the total numbers of folders on his computer he should have had 350GB still to go.

The resident computer pro says it is most likely a virus which has filled the rest of the drive.  The chap was to go home, start his laptop in "Safe Mode' and do a complete anti-virus scan of it.

I have been tidying up the pool.  After 4 months of non-use the pool walls require sweeping, the light and inlets/outlets need a scrub up and other smaller jobs need to be done.  Sometimes small things fall into the pool and 'attach' themselves to the pool floor, steps or walls.  A quick rub with wet n' dry sand paper soon clears them.

There is a build up of mould on the blinds around the patio.  A spray with 10% bleach to water and then a strong hose down cleans this up fairly quickly.  I even used some left over bleach/water mix on an area of the side footpath.  Can you guess which area I have done?

The brew is bubbling away in the garage so I will wash bottles was tomorrow.

The weather has cooled a little with today's tops in the high 20's rather than the low 30's.  We also now have wind blowing from the west so the humidity level is down.

Temps in the low 30's should return Wednesday.

Trish has convinced the Arts Centre Association to have the website she created for them upgraded professionally.  It has just gone online and you can check it out here.  The website is in "Wordpress" and can now be updated etc by anyone who has the login information.  It all happens 'online' so expensive software isn't required.
