Hi All,
Day off today for me. We availed ourselves of the spa first up. It was rather cool having just been turned on. I attempted to get Lynne's phone working as a modem on her pc after it stopped doing so the other day. It was beyond me in the time available so a job for another day. Selina and i set off for Sorell at about 11. She used her translator a fair bit on the way as she asked questions about the English language. I dropped her at Sorell to Op shop while i headed on to Cambridge to the shops i usually visit. Picked up a couple of bargains and headed back to Sorell at 2pm. After a bite to eat we drove to Hobart where i picked up some pool analysis tablets at the pool shop. We then visited the shopping precinct separately before meeting up for a coffee and then separating again. Once again i picked up a couple of items and we finally headed back to Nubeena a 6 arriving just after 7.
Selina is a bit of a character. She studied Japanese at university back in Taiwan and her last job was as a television news scheduler if i under stand her description correctly. We were zooming along the freeway into Hobart and she was trying to select a song on the car DVD player. I reached to press a couple of buttons on the stereo and we drifted onto the rumble white lines which scared her a bit. As we drove on I heard the dalek voice come from her translator saying "concentrate". I was laughing so hard the car almost left the road completely. Anyway we decided the best phrase for her to use was "watch the road" It is comforting to know that if the current road angel malfunctions there is another waiting in the wings!
The busy ness factor is increasing here occupancy wise. With just the three of us we will be flat out methinks for the next few days.
night folks
Cheers Simon
