G'day all,
Thank you for your kind words about my new avatar!
All I can say is that I have spent countless hours following tutorials etc. to learn to do these sort of things, not particularly clever but
very persistent and determined not to let it beat me
Of course the fact that these past 3 years I have had lots of time to do this whilst living away from home, also has something to do with it!
I cannot speak for
Lily but I think she would probably agree with me to some extent.
When I am home permanent, I would like to teach the basic use of computers to more mature age groups
.
Everything is so simple..........when you know!
There are many things I want to do when I am home permanently, I still haven't discarded my wish of an embroidery sewing machine. DH likes the idea of teaching basic computing skills but finds the embroidery sewing machine a bit of a waste, but that is men for you, he cannot relate to wanting an embroidery sewing machinge
Hopefully my tiled porch/verandah will be finished next Wednesday and then only another week before I leave for NZ. I need to transplant some roses and replant some hedging plants before I go. Spoke to dh last night, no firm date yet of our return home, could be July, could be August or September. Oh well, that's life
Jeney I can understand your frustration with your computer. My s-i-l had similar problems and found a young fellow in her local paper that came to the house to fix computers. He re formatted her hard drive and all has been well since. His pricing was also very reasonable as he did this just to supplement his income whilst doing computer studies at Uni.
Perhaps that could be an option for you.
It is a cool day here and the first day of winter. The outer areas of Adelaide experience frost on occasions, but where I am near the beach, the temperature never gets that low. I think what we have is a meditteranean climate.
Went to watch ds play football yesterday, about 1 hr 15 drive from my place. It was beautiful day of 21 degrees and I drove with the top down in dh's 'dream machine'. Just gives you an indication what our winters are like!
Have a great day all
Cheers
Maria
