A Busy Day


Although our motel is quite close to one of the main entries to Adelaide it was surprisingly quiet during the night and I slept well and I am quite positive that Colin did too – he was unaware of me even coming to bed, so soundly was he sleeping!
This morning we drove directly over to see Graham and Nola. Our intention was not only to visit socially but for me to help Graham with his computers and for Colin to wash the car which has a thick layer of bugs over it from our long trip from the Gold Coast.

Graham was looking far happier today – maybe it was the thought of ironing out a few nagging internet problems or just maybe it was because it was Wednesday! Whatever the reason it was difficult to shut him up – but I did find a way . . . .
This morning I presented Graham with my 17inch Toshiba laptop with a jigsaw game installed and lots of pictures to work on!
I gave a lesson on how to open the game and get the picture to be worked on and then repeated the lesson so that the details could all be written down. It was with great annoyance that the laptop had to be turned off and put to one side when lunch time came around!
While Graham was happily (and silently!) playing with his jigsaw I went into his computer room and sorted out a few problems with his Gmail – removing duplicated names from his Contact list and adding others as well as organizing how his browser opened with multiple tabs.
Nola and Colin found plenty to talk about and the hot day effectively prevented Colin from even stepping outside, let along clean the car! Not to worry, he can have a go tonight after our evening meal! He wont be able to complain about it being hot then!

It was wonderful having time with our good friends and being able to make them laugh. We shall be back in the morning for more!
