Quiet On The Sunshine Coast

It continues quiet in this part of the world.  Apart from bottle washing, bike riding and stuff for the Community Association it is the same old story!

I frequently get asked where do I get my movies and TV shows from and how much does it cost.  So I quickly set up this website. (Click HERE)  I also added a link to the right of this blog page as:
08 Downloading TV & Movies Free.  I created the web page as  free Google website.  The ability to create free websites is available to everyone through any and every GMail account.

So if you have a GMail email address, you can open your GMail Account settings up and under the Sub-Heading "Dashboard" you have access to heaps of Google services, including creating a free website!

Our mobile phone service became crappy yesterday until we discovered Telstra was carrying out maintenance on some of our nearby towers.  For a while there we were scooting outside every time the mobile phone rang.  By 4:30pm normality had been resumed!

We finished watching Series 4 of Boardwalk Empire on Sunday night.  This is a great story, set in the USA during the depression.  There are gangland feuds, bootleg whiskey and plenty of action.

Our days remain in the high 20's and generally sunny.  We have had a coolish S/E breeze most days keeping the temps under 30 degrees. The pool was 23.5 this morning.  It usually gets to around 26 or so late afternoon with a day's sunshine on it.

Friends Ian and Kerrie have headed south to Sydney for a cruise they booked months ago so we won't see them until New Year.

We fly to Melbourne in a fortnight and we are beginning to get our heads around that trip and booking dates into our calendar.  Kate and Arj's car blew a head gasket so our Telstar (our Melbourne car) has been forced into action.  They have decided to repair their X-Trail so hopefully all will be in place for when we get down that way and we get our car back.

We head down to Ocean Grove with the family on Friday December 20th for 2 nights.  This should be heaps of fun. This is our family's major Christmas function.

A good suggestion has been to spend a couple of nights with my brother and his wife at Indented Head.  This is on the way back to Kate's from Ocean Grove.  We also expect to spend a couple of nights with Kim in St Kilda as well. And we have the traditional Boxing Day down at Drouin with friends Barry and Rainy.

I am hoping to get to several days of the Test match at the MCG.  We then fly home on Dec 30th which is a little earlier than usual.

Kate is celebrating her 40th birthday late January so we will be returning to Melbourne around mid January.  This will also enable Trish to get to a couple of days at the Australian Tennis Open Championships. We expect to get back here around January 21st.
