Visit to older daughter’s place

First visit after the move last weekend with some garden tools in the boot to tend to the veggie patches. Not really my cup of tea but managed to be useful pulling out corn clumps and miscellaneous weeding tasks. Oh...and both ET and I ended up stepping on dog poop.

Free range eggs – dodgy companies

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) took Derodi Pty Ltd and Holland Farms Pty Ltd to court, claiming it had falsely labelled eggs as free range from January 2012 to December 2014.

The two companies trade together as the entity Free Range Egg Farms, and sold eggs under the labels Ecoeggs, and Port Stephens and Field Fresh free range eggs.

We have Presto again

We have Presto again - last year we had it for 6 months free but it was pretty ho-hum so pulled out in the last month.

T-box channel 911 is promoting the 6 month free trial again so tried to take up the offer (again) but the promo code was rejected - fair enough.

Anyway...ET getting pretty sick of FTA rubbish so signed up using her e-mail to get the one month free trial. Already setup T-box's in lounge and balcony - and Lenovo 10" tablet.

Oh...and another slot reserved for one of the kids.

Knox Tavern for dinner

Booked in tonight to try out the 'new KT', haven't been there since it burnt down in Sep 2014.

Dell Ultrasharp 1702FP 17" LCD monitor

No picture and LED's flashing like fairy lights

When I was doing the Dell GX270 memory upgrade went off looking for one of my spare monitors and grabbed the above which was working fine last time I used it but that's a few years ago now. After connecting the external 12V/3A power supply turned on at the power point and the three front panel LED's came on like fairy lights - not good.

 

Early 2000 but still a nice monitor...even has DVI !!!

Recovering today…a few aches.

Recovery session from yesterday's house move must be coming along OK as I just finished trimming and mowing - front & back. The Bunnings XU1 18V blade trimmer and blower work really well  - time for a cuppa.

Exciting day for our older daughter

Back home after helping our older daughter move from Skye to her new home in Botanic Ridge. Loading up was OK but unloading at the new place and the trudge up the 'mountain goat' driveway pretty much drained the last of our physical reserves, in particular two items - fridge and mattress.
