Double bed purchase

Spent the last few days searching for a double bed for one of the spare bedrooms. Criteria is straight forward - simple double bed base in white and...cheap! Started off at Fantastic Furniture where they had exactly what we wanted for $149 but no stock, only the display one for $99. Drove around town and ended up back where we started and bought the display one for $99. Store guy (same as last time) was really helpful and I gave him a hand to bubble wrapped the important bits.

While I was backed up into the loading bay quite an audience had gathered waiting for their turn, the last and largest item to go in was the bed head and as I walked up to the boot they all started shaking their heads but it slipped into the boot and disappeared and I gently closed the boot lid – back seat was left at home.

Centrelink Android app

This is a screenshot of the Express Plus Seniors app that I installed on my Galaxy Note. The app is very functional and you can preform most of the common tasks and even view online letters in a PDF style format – pretty good.

Samsung Galaxy desktop software

Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000: my older kid has a new iPhone 5s so she gave me her Galaxy Note – thanks!



Installed the Samsung Kies desktop software this morning and connected the phone to setup everything. Kies recognised that the Nokia Suite was installed and offered to import from a backup which I had – cool. Not used to using a finger to control a mobile device, fortunately the Note comes with a stylus.



 

Chester and Milo

Chester is out – his two story hutch is located in the foyer area right next to the front door where he can keep an eye on things and is always in the loop. Included are some hutch construction photos.

Mowing grass in August

Just finished mowing the grass, one incentive is dog poop...much easier to locate and remove. Why am I mowing grass during this winter, never had to do that before???

It's a dogs life - NOT

Holly our Golden Retriever

Pixie to the vet

For some regular maintenance stuff. She was her usual self...growling and barking at everyone and everything until this guy entered with a HUGH black German Sheppard weighing in at close to 50 kilos. From then on she was – very quiet.
