There was talk of Technology in the call with Tr this morning. She has finally upgraded to a Galaxy Note 3 ... and Terri has inherited Tr's old phone. She came on line, briefly, to say she had finished doing her shopping database (using a new program - she has used a Shopping Database on a Palm handheld for some years now) ... and if she were to buy every one of the 632 items on the list today, it would cost her $1,801.
The Markets were good this morning - and there were some different foods on offer - I think partly because Mu, Se and Ja were there. It's always good to have visitors to the Markets!
Dinner was at Mouse's this evening and Sooz and I arrived early (giving M a lift to bypass the having to get two cars home issue - she had lent one of the cars to the boys) so Sooz could have a swim in Mouse's pool. In the end, it was M who went in swimming with her while I watched the river traffic, and did some more testing of the camera lens.
Mouse had outdone herself with dinner, but unfortunately the travellers did not get to sit down to enjoy it. They arrived back late from their day out ... not THE Big Day Out which was on at Metricon Stadium today ... theirs was to the best local beaches and to show Ja the sights. The beaches were good and they said the water was wonderful. By the time they arrived back though, they had time for a quick shower (well, not really but they did), to pack, and then jump in the car for the trip to the airport - and they had just a chance that they would catch their flight - especially since they hadn't done a web check-in so they would need to do that there as well. M did a fantastic job of getting them there ... and Mi, who had remained calm throughout while the rest of us were becoming more and more concerned with every passing minute, bundled up some of the dinner (not the soup though) in a plastic container and sent it with them in the car with a roll of paper towel (serviettes) and some forks. M reported they had finished it all by the time they made it to the airport ... and, yes, they did let them on to the flight.
On the way home from Mouse's - Sooz and I, and Fl and Mi stayed to eat dinner at the table with Mouse ... and then have some of the strudel Mi had made for dinner - I considered that there are some times Police checking for speedsters on the Isle of Capri ... and had thought today was not one of them since the taxi in front of me was not slowing down - and you would think there would be a network amongst them to warn each other ... luckily I wasn't relying on them though, and as we sailed past the speed camera I was sitting well below the limit.
