Very happy.
Good to see that water going to good use up there. :lol:

I enjoyed the sunshine, weeded the garden, went for a walk and generally enjoyed the day.Let it rain every night but be sunny on the weekends.

Catching up with our old neighbours from Brisbane. They were passing through & stopped in to say hi & catch up with us. Was really nice to see them again! :D

Bought a digital photo frame from the market yesterday. 7 X 4 inch LCD screen, plug a USG memory stick or a SD memory card into it and it displays the photo's on random like a screensaver. Looks great on the mantlepiece, I'll have to get another one for mum for Xmas.

Oh, and having a short rusty nail for an after dinner drink. Yuuuuuum.

Nah, it's a next gen up from the Universal Serial Bus II. Can't remember what the "G" stands for but it's apparently quicker and enables more plug and play functionality than the old USBI and II ports. All new PC's will have USG ports from now on.

2 things made me happy today.

the NAIDOC celebration at work went off a treat and got to chow down on the coat of arms at the morning tea. All the indigenous guests really enjoyed it too.

2nd is starting my tax return and looking like getting a nice little refund. :D
