Back again after a break

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I been looking for your Blogs
Where are you ?


Well I been away from my normal routine of Blogging, I tend to stray sometimes.
Things have happened Easter has passed and I'm Back talking to my computer again for anyone who stand my typing rambles.
Its been a busy few weeks, new things off Ebay, a new phone & bluetooth headphones.




Sony, a brand I have been on my shopping list for the last couple of months has moved in again this time a Walkman phone
its quite a fun item, but with this model a couple of small drawbacks, such as a smaller screen and a small awkward Keyboard for typing SMS's and Web addresses, not to mention playing java games like Bejeweled a little hard on the fingers.

Mind you it has been great fun downloading themes and games for it off the net, as there is quite a few of dedicated sites out there that
support Sony phones with lot of downloadable content.

Time to get serious again and find a phone that is

A: Keyboard Big Finger Friendly
B: MP3 player thats supports Bluetooth Headsets
C: A Screen that's bigger than 2 inches
D That has expandable memory
E: That's a affordable price range.



There is a couple of prepaid phones on my list already, sadly there are some that are just too expensive such as the Nokia N85
So I'll be reading a lot of reviews and customer feedback to find the ideal phone.



And winning so far is the Sony Ericsson W910 an upgrade from my current W890
Its a slider phone with a couple of extra bells and whistles, larger keypad but the adjoining keys above and below are still fairly close together. Apart from that it has a bigger 2.44 inch screen, so basically it has everything I want.

Whether I go this path or find a better alternative from Nokia, Samsung, LG or Motorola time will tell.

I've had withdrawal symptoms from the lack of Gingernut Biscuits, Patrick and Barbara are in Sydney.
and during the last week, Our Afternoon Tea has been a diet of Boston Bun or Hot Cross Buns, So much Buns
and NO BISCUITS ! I'm a deprived man.

Special Thank you, To all attended the Birthday Celebrations at the One Tree Hill Hotel for Patrick Dugan and yours Truly Larry Combridge.
It was a great day and a good meal. P.S. And thankyou for the Nice Presents.

On my actaul Birthday later in the week Stephanie & Jessica made Tea, Spaghetti Bol and a nice birthday cake, On to top the night off was Stephanies Rum Balls It was a treat.



Easter has come and gone, with just Easter Monday to get through, it has been a good week so far, We saw Jessica in the lion team Easter Torchlight Procession and she will be in the main Procession on Monday, Hopefully we can get some photos for you.

I'll finish off the blog with this a nice Photo of Michelle's Boys when they were here for a few days last Week, This Fantastic group shot was taken by Sandy.
See you soon.............

22 March

Michelle & Family up for the weekend lots of photos

Well it’s been a few days since I blogged, Spider bite on my foot Friday, had me hobbling a little bit, was’nt sure until Sunday morning before could confirm it was some sort of bite as my foot was just swollen and red.

Michelle, Ray and the five boys came and visit us from Melton, so we had family for the weekend and a good chance to get some family photos in.

We topped it off with a really nice Sunday lunch with roast Lamb, roast chicken and Yummy chocolate cake for dessert with Ice Cream.

We also had Shane, Linda and Lisa with us as well, turned out an excellent day for all.

As promised lots of Family Photos for you enjoy.

Rochester, new camera and The New Scales tells me I’m Fat

19 March

Rochester, new camera and The New Scales tells me I’m Fat

Well the countdown is over the camera is safely home, Rochester trip over and a new set of Bathroom scales that tells me

I’m too heavy. Need some food to cheer me up :)

It has been a mixed day today, more good than bad though, Sandy and I looked at the Willow tea set at Big W, English brand made in China, most of it was OK but the poor excuse of a dessert bowl was disappointing, if you was lucky maybe one and a squashed second Weet-Bix could fit in the bowl, soup..well you would be lucky to get your Spoon wet.

Rochester trip went well, Neale scoring a ute full of computer gear, plenty of monitors, computer cases and heaps of parts.

I got a couple of pictures in the new camera, to show you from the trip.

We bought some bathroom Scales instead,of the Willow Dinner Set, as our last set of Bathroom Scales could not make up its mind on how much we weighed, When I got on it it would spin around a few times like a slot machine, the ding ding sound it made was not stating I won a prize, It was just groaning under the pressure of my two big feet and my body attached to it.

scales

We had afternoon tea at Karen’s today, bought the new Sony camera along for some testing. Basically I wanted to try out some

Smile shutter shots, on some willing victims.. sorry family.
