Debbie Comes To Town

The remnants of Cyclone Debbie have found their way to the Sunshine Coast.  The first of the rain arrived around 10pm on Wednesday with a huge flash of lightning and an enormous clap of thunder.  The power went off for long enough so that everything needed re setting!

The heavens opened and it rained solidly for an hour.  From then on until now (around 10am on Thursday) there have been intermittent heavy showers which are expected to go on throughout the day and into tomorrow.  There is around 65mls in the gauge as I type.

There is a little wind outside but nothing at all dangerous.  Just lots and lots of heavy showers rolling through.

We farewelled friends Janet and Mick from Newcastle yesterday after spending 4 nights with us.  It was great to catch up and compare notes on what we are involved with as far as our TV downloading and watching.  Mick has become an Apple convert and now has his Apple Computer and Apple TV.  The software available for his Apple PC and the method of sideloading on his TV box are a little different to what is available on the PC and Android Device.

We had many discussions and even more drinks.  Our evening meal at the local Miss Hoi Ann Vietnamese Restaurant was enjoyed by all as was an extremely pleasant afternoon at the Mets Club in town, it's the one which overlooks Caloundra's famous King's Beach.

We had a trip to recently updated "Mary Cairncross Reserve" which was just beautiful.

Our pool was a popular spot as well with hot and steamy weather throughout their stay.

Mick and I did a bike ride together and just had a great time enjoying each other's company.

Today we have had the window tinting replaced on our bedroom and the kitchen.  The original tinting was a cheap substitute but was done at the right price soon after we moved in.  It has served its purpose and it has now been replaced with a superior product which will hopefully reduce the heat which pours through the respective windows.

My SPMC program I have on my Nvidia Shield was playing up so I have re set it up.  It is currently working much better and slicker since re doing it.

I continue to work on my Android Box "How To" website.  A couple of pages still need finishing off but hopefully what I have done already is enough for people to get started on their own if they want to give it a go.  http://afterwdtv.blogspot.com.au/

I was looking forward to a an alcohol free day after Mick left yesterday morning but then Trish reminded me of our "Drinks" night that evening with friends.  At the time I really wasn't looking forward to it but as usual that all changed after I had had a couple.

It was so still and stinking hot and humid around at Raelene and John's place during drinks.  There wasn't a breeze and it was stifling hot.

We headed home around 9pm, and soon after Debbie rolled into town!
