Bunnings shopping trip

Wanted to spend my 70th birthday Bunnings gift cards (pooled) on a Ozito Multi Purpose Saw and also get a 30cm wooden barrel to repair the Bamboo Water Spout feature in the gazebo area.

Unplanned purchase - this is the BBQ Pizza Oven Box we bought from Bunnings today. They had a staff person giving cooking demonstrations and ET managed to sample TWO slices of pizza

Garden gazebo water barrel feature

Made this some years ago when I had a bamboo fad for making water features.

It’s a classic bamboo water spout powered by a water pump that sits inside a modified plastic tub all of which then sits in a decorative wooden barrel with some water plants.

Here is a video clip of the water feature in the front porch, later on I moved it to the back yard gazebo area.

Badly needs attention, looks like the water lily has strangled everything.

Windows 10 Creators Update – Win+X ???

After updating this morning and getting familiar with WCU 1709 through the day, inevitably I have come across a change I don't like - but not a big deal.

Microsoft has removed the traditional Control Panel from the Win+X menu, that's the one you see when you right click the Start button from the desktop - bugger. Anyway I just searched for it and pinned to the Start.

Anyway…pinned a Control Panel tile.

Windows 10 Creators Update

Still playing around with some of the new and improved stuff plus getting rid of all the kids games.

Edge for Win10 has indeed been improved, you can now even rename a Fav URL - LOL. Installed Edge for Android on my new Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro and yes it's slick and fast.

Also updated to the latest GUI for Office Mobile Apps and some other stuff.

Windows 10 Creators Update – finally

Been here before, already tried several times installing WCU 1709 - and failed.



This morning Win Update is offering restart to complete WCU update – really?

Apex gang-linked man allowed to travel overseas

WTF ????

Akon Mawien was high on ice and armed with a hammer when he helped steal about $200,000 worth of goods from multiple jewellery stores.
