Day 60 Nubeena Saturday 26th of March 2011

Hi Folks,

Another routine day in the resort. Gutter cleaning, lawn mowing and being the pool man.

We decided to press our UHF handheld radios into service since I can be hard (or to check up on to make sure I am not goofing off) to find at times as the resort is a fairly large area. Therein lies the latest headache. it looks like both batteries that came with my 5 Watt Uniden unit are stuffed. They don't seem to hold charge. I can buy new ones from Uniden for the princely sum of $130 each! So I am not happy Jan. Mind you I shouldn't be the surprised as the cells and batteries are made in China that bastion of quality manufacturing.

Anyway onto more pleasant things. We went out to a concert entitled "WimminSing" at the Koonya Hall tonight with Ilan and Lynne. The $20 entry fee included a glass of wine. Four local women each sang three pieces and a couple of combined pieces. For some unfathomable reason I did not take my HD video camera so I have posted some very vague video shot on phone cam. Susan and I also drank a bottle of red purchased at the bar plus a cheese platter. We sat at a table of people we don't know so we got to meet some more locals and talk about raising chickens which is a bit of a worry! I might be going yokel. Anyway all jokes aside it was a good evening.

cheers Simon
