Waruma Updated Again


Another week at Wuruma Dam has passed without any major incidents. Went to Monto with Paul but his illness caught up with him and I had to drive back but not before we had done shopping and had scones and coffee at Jackie's place. Am not used to driving automatic, airconditioned vehicles with power steering and cruise control. I was constantly thinking that there was something else that I should be doing, but got us home to Wuruma safely.

 

Have covered the trip to Cania Gorge in a separate post but that probably was the highlight of the week. We have been having extended happy hours morning and afternoon but our Grey Nomad numbers will be depleted today when Billeee and Julie, Steve and Marg leave for the start of their trip to Darwin and across to W.A. Hope to catch up with them back at Greens Lake for Christmas.

 

Have had no internet for a couple of days and have been unable to get into Facebook since early last week. The new computer did not have my saved passwords and I haven't had access to persue that through emails. Talking of new computers Billeee had problems with his Toshiba last year and replaced it but has been trying to get his music and photos from it since. I tried unsuccessfully because it gave the blue screen after a couple of minutes and closed down every time.

 

 

Had the bright idea of using Safe Mode and was able to get the files across to my hard drive and then on to his new computer, so there was Billeee with all his files and a computer that wouldn't work. I offered to try to fix it but he didn't want the Toshiba laptop and gave it to me. After several hours unsuccessfully trying different options I found F8 which bottom option was to use the Toshiba Factory Default Wizard. I now have a newly programmed laptop. The best laptop I have ever owned and called it yeoeleven. Thanks Billeee CYA at Christmas.  John

My old Toshie is still pumping and grinding after 8 years. If she ever calls it a day, I'll try the F8 trick. Thanks, John.

I can't work out how long I was there, came and went a couple of times. Must have been about two weeks. Had a great time. Lovely company and a very relaxing time with cows wandering through our camps, so laid back they weren't going anywhere in a hurry.
Steve and I are now at Lawgi Park for the night, heading into Biloela tomorrow for a shop before a night at Dululu.
I'm loving this lifestyle.
