Sunday!

The weather has remained glorious in this part of Australia.  Most days it gets to around 28 degrees with mainly clear blue skies.  Overnight the temp is now closer to mid teens and the lightweight quilt is being used.

Despite the lateness of the season I am still getting a quick swim in most mornings after the bike ride.  This is certainly a sensational part of our country in which to live.  Not bad to be still having a quick swim at the end of April!

With Anzac Day on Friday we are now enjoying another long week-end.  Being near a surf beach and being so close to Brisbane, Caloundra remains a popular destination for Brisbane families to holiday.  Therefore the roads over the weekend around here are very busy.

Life meanders along quietly.  Trish was summoned in to the local Telstra Shop on Thursday where she was provided with a new phone to replace her other one under warranty. 

The former phone's microphone wasn't working well and it was becoming harder and harder for people to hear her when she was speaking.

There are some OK laptop specials available at JB HiFi this weekend but I have been unable to convince Trish to update her Dell laptop.  It still does everything she wants it to do.

Inevitably it will die.  2 people at Computer Club had their laptops die recently and both were only around 2 year's old.  Trish's laptop is probably pushing 4 years old by now.  The battery in it no longer works so we have removed it completely which makes the laptop much easier to transport.

Some of the older ladies at Computer Club remove the laptop battery as soon as they get them so they are lighter to cart about.

Footy on TV is keeping me occupied over the weekend.  Both of our teams are due to play later this afternoon.

We recently finished watching a couple of TV series, Banshee S2 and Masters of Sex S1.  Both were very enjoyable.  Banshee in particular is quite spectacular!  We will most likely swap courses and move with "Mr Selfridge" this upcoming week.  He is a little more 'middle of the road' after the action of Sheriff Lucas Hood.

Episode 12 of the Masters of Sex had the audio out of sync by around 5 seconds and it was unwatchable.  So if you received that episode from me recently you won't be able to watch it.  It took around 10 minutes or so to get another working in sync copy from the net and have it available for us to watch.

My next task is to rewrite my "Movies How To" website.  I now get my movies on the net quite differently to back when I first put the Movies How To website together.  It is therefore quite out of date.  I will begin that chore sometime this upcoming week.  I hope I can remember how to do it all.
