Another shopping wednesday

Today, being my day off, I did some more shopping. I bought two new winter shirts from Lowes, a new pair of gym shoes from Rivers, got a haircut, closed off my Telstra account and bought some cough medicine when I bought my blood pressure tablets. I went to the gym in the afternoon and put in a very solid session.

Grand Prix Sunday 2011

I did not go to church this morning as Simon was not available. I stayed home and finished off a few jobs instead. Later, I watched the Grand Prix. It was not a bad race. Sebastian Vettel lead from start to finish.

Web site approval

At BUCO today, I finally had a meeting with Kath about the BUCO web site. She suggested a few cosmetic changes which I achieved with the help of Sue. I feel that the BUCO web site will be up and running soon. The board are anxious for it to be up soon.

Bendigo Motorcycle Expo

After church this morning, I attended the annual Bendigo Motorcycle Expo at the Showgrounds. It was not as busy as the last one was, but I still got to pick up some useful information.

Another ACN meeting

I attended another meeting of ACN. It was held at the same place as last time. This time there were more people and It was more like a training session. I still haven't registered as an agent. I found out about some new technology and got to ask a few questions.

I went to the gym in the afternoon. I later discovered that the motorcycle expo is on again in Bendigo this weekend.

St Patricks Day 2011

Today was St Patrick's day. At lunch I has a beer at Pugg Mahones, a rip off at $7.00 a glass. After leaving BUCO i went down to the Brian Boru for a couple of glasses of Guinness, which were more reasonably priced.

A missed inspection

Today was another Wednesday free. I was really tired after a long day on Tuesday. Roger Connell visited from Melbourne. I had to arrive early and did not leave until late as I had the cleaning to do. I bought a co-axial cable to help connect my new amplifier to the set top box and I also bought two new chairs. I thought a real estate inspection was due to day, but I had my dates wrong. It was supposed to be yesterday. I contacted the estate agent and re-arranged a new date for the inspection. I also paid my first ACN bill today. I found out that there will be another meeting this Saturday with ACN at the Barclay on View. Apparently the head honcho will be speaking!!

Japanese earthquake

Today there was a huge earthquake in Japan. Measured 8.9 on the Richter scale. The TV footage of the Tsunami were awesome. The usual TV programs on SBS were suspended.

My new mobile phone

Today I picked up my new mobile phone. I had to go to the courier's office to get it. I took the wrong bus and had to walk for about a while in the rain. I was sick with the flu yesterday. I feel better today, but I got a little bit wet. It is raining again. We hardly need more rain I think.

My mobile broadband arrives

Today turned out to be a very eventful day. My mobile broadband from ACN arrived in the mail. I got it set up on the computer OK, but when I loaded the Sim Card into the mobile receiver, nothing would work correctly. It kept giving me a message that it could not locate the Sim. This left me very angry. I went to Optus in Mitchell St and the young lady set me straight. I had not installed it correctly.

After that I went shopping. I looked into buying some sheets. I ended up in Target and bought 2 blankets, 6 tea towels and 1 toaster. All up it cost me about $43.00.

Later, I got the Sim card working, and although the internet seemed slow at first, it now works OK. I feel much better now.
