Plenty To Do

The PC is still at home and running fairly well.  I am really guessing it is time to reformat it, that is re install everything from the start again. This means ensuring all I have is well backed up which it is!  I will wait a little longer to see how things settle down.

It has been an 'as usual' week for us.  Fortunately the weather has cooled off quite a lot with current high temps in the high 20's.  We run the ceiling fan over night still but as it is now cooler this is usually at the lower setting.  The pool gets to high 20's when ever there is any sun around.

I continue to ride most mornings though morning showers meant I missed out today.  We had around 6mls of rain in a few showers of rain but it is fining up now.  The new bike continues to perform very well indeed.

The pool is nice and clean, the front lawn has been mown and generally everything is ship shape around the place.

With the Academy Awards not too far away the pirate movie download market has been bustling with great high scoring movies available to download.  I have been extremely busy getting my collection up to date!

A new brew has been bottled and stored away.

We are flying down to Melbourne again on Monday for just over a week.  It is a special birthday for Kate so we will be again in Melbourne for that.  We expect to fly home again on Tuesday Jan 21st.  Our flight down is a morning flight while our flight home is an evening one. Trish expects to get to the tennis weather permitting.

Friends Kerrie and Ian have been keen to visit Melbourne while we are there so this week we all booked flights for late March this year.  In a bit of a bungle we fly down to Melbourne on Thursday March 20th.  We have booked the flights but then I noted we will be in the air when my footy team plays its first game for 2014!  What a sacrifice I am forced to make!

Kerrie and Ian fly down the following Wednesday and we all fly home on the same flight on April 2nd.

Tiger Airways has a 30% off special so we all got great air fare prices.  Trish and I booked return airfraes including 1 x 20kg luggage and the total price came out at less than $240.  That is under $60 per person per one-way trip.

Computer Club gets back underway for 2014 tomorrow.
