Booked my flight for Sydney today. Departing Friday 20th March 2009 – Sunday 29th March 2009. Should give me plenty to blog about and spend a bit more quality time with Steve, Juliana, Ginger and Wiggley, Vincent and some rellies I haven’t seen since Adam was a boy
My endeavours to sort out a new computer for myself have proved somewhat fruitful and I have narrowed my options to a short list of three possibilities.
They are: Pavillion DV5110ax
Toshiba A300/M01
Sony Vaio Aw Series Notebook
At present I’m leaning toward the Toshiba because of its specs. Seems the best in its price range f or now. I’ll make the final decision next week and blog you all about it.
The only problem is that, like most modern Laptops, it does not take have a dial-up connection and only works on broadband, so I won’t be-able to use the Internet on it until I get broadband installed, which may take a couple of weeks, so I am told.
Never mind I can always use my present Laptop until I get sorted out. Or get Broadband connected before I buy it.
On the counter productive side of things, it has been proposed that Wellingtonians will lose their free recycling bin and instead be forced into buying special recycling bags instead.
Apparently there will be different bags for different articles of recycling (eg one for paper and another for bottles etc). Not sure how that is going to encourage everyone to keep recycling. I’m sure the powers that be have got it all sorted out though.
Also I had my first ten pin bowling game of the season for 2009 last Wednesday. Our team “Whatever” still has three people, though one pulled out because of work commitments and has been replaced by former team member who use to play with us a couple of years ago. Didn’t do too badly with the scores = 149, 151, 169 (156 average).

Guess I'll see you soon. I think that boyfriend guy may be over soon your way as well - though of course he's too dumb to have bought a ticket yet! Typical. His GF human friend is very keen there be broadband over there you know - else no skyping - not something that they weill cope with very well I fear.
