Just An Update

I have been back on the bike again this week, well until a brutally cold and strong S/W wind blew into the Coast that is.  Not only is the wind quite strong, but it is icy as well. 

On the weather reports yesterday the apparent temperature received a great airing, e.g. the temperature is 17 but it feels like 9 was an all too common report.

The kids continue to enjoy themselves in the USA, Kate and family visiting Disneyland in Orlando and Kim in Las Vegas.  Arj put a blog post up and you can check it out here.

Kim has regular updates on Facebook as well.  She was recently spotted trying on one of those Man v Food episode meals almost successfully!

Any thought of buying a new cheap phone went on the back burner when my 24" PC monitor began to flicker, so much so it was almost impossible to use.  When I first bought it some time ago I put the old 21" monitor away as a spare.  I am using it now though as the replacement bought on eBay doesn't get delivered until next week.

The larger scrape on the car's driver's side front bumper gets fixed on Monday.

We have eventually upgraded our phone plans which didn't go without a hitch.  We have again seen we needed to redo our Voicemail intro's and we discovered eventually that our data was turned off on the phone by default.

I even got a response from TeleChoice re my Sim Card being 'activated' before I did anything myself.  We have swapped a couple of emails over the incident.

I am off for my annual ear tidy up with an ENT Specialist today, that is on my right ear which has caused me grief throughout my life.  The ear canal itself has been reshaped and no longer cleans itself automatically.  This is definitely not one of my 'favorite' experiences.

We watched a great movie the other night called "The Room".  Both Trish and I would highly recommend it.
