Not A Lot Is Happening

It is certainly all quiet in this part of the world.  The recent overcast weather has meant it has become a lot cooler.  It is amazing the difference in temperature here when we get an overcast cloudy day!  And it has been cloudy and quite cool the last two days and warm tops have been the order of the day.

Cooler weather is not conducive to having an early morning bike ride either!

We did get back to the glorious Headland Golf Club for another Chicken Parmigiana lunch yesterday (Tuesday).  We hadn't been there for a while and friends Ian and Kerrie were keen to catch up so off we all went.

Needless to say toasted sandwiches was enough for our evening meal.

It was good to catch up with the Eathers and have a chat.  Ian also uses his Kodi box a lot and after eating we went back to their place and set up a Trakt.tv account and integrated it into his Exodus Addon.  They can now find their favorite TV series much more easily. The couple of cold stubbies we had were very enjoyable too.

We did notice a roof tile has shifted over our garage eave as we drove out yesterday.  If you wanted a roof tile to shift, this was the best spot for it to happen!  I managed to jiggle it back into place but ideally it requires cementing or being siliconed back in permanently.

I am not so good on ladders nowadays so I will approach St Andrews Care to get someone to do the job.

And that is really all the latest news.

Trish has been sorting out the car Arj and Kate left behind and will want to use again upon their return to Australia in a few weeks.  It has been stored in Melbourne in the back shed of very good friends June and Keith in Berwick.  Arj has a friend who works at Berwick Motors who will get the car back into going order again.  Also the registration has lapsed and the battery has died.

The car will be carted to Berwick Motors via a tray truck where it will be made road worthy again.  Trish has sorted re registering it again so all Arj will need to do is complete some forms which Trish will email him, pick up the Roadworthy Certificate from Berwick Motors and take the lot to Vehicle Registration in Dandenong.

Once all has been processed he will possibly be issued with new number plates, journey back to Berwick Motors, attach the new number plates and he will be ready to go!

I am sure Arj will find filling the car up with fuel much dearer than when he last filled his car in Saudi Arabia.

All I know about the new Android Box I have bought is it has been collected in Hong Kong.  I was give a tracking number for the parcel and at last it has appeared on the tracking website. Delivery time is any time between July 29th and August 5th.  But I still wouldn't be surprised if it was even later.  Such is the joy of buying stuff from China!
