The boys first Friday at school today and I had plenty planned!!!
The bedding was washed and hung out while my breath was still visible outside!! After the boys were dropped off at school we headed to the shops to pick up some nappies and boxes to organise the houseful of disorganised toys! MrJ decided before we left that he wanted to purchase a net book to take away to Darwin and then use for his guide scope program on the telescope. So while I was in Medicare he browsed Dick Smiths. When I went into Dick Smiths he was discussing the net books with the sales chick and when he finished I asked her to give me some info on the Mac Books. I know that they are being widely used for music and photography and was interested in the pros and cons. In the end, for photos they are the best devices on the market.
Needless to say, our brief shopping trip for nappies and boxes turned into an expensive one hour, with us both returning home with new hardware to configure and play with :-O
I also went to the decorator centre to pick out a wallpaper border for MasterA's big boy room, only to find they no longer sell them there....grrrrrr. The closest place is in Mandurah. I think I will research and order online. Once I have the border I can get the paint and get on with it!
When we returned home from the shops, we tipped all of the toys out into a (BIG) pile and started the arduous task of sorting, putting things back together and finding homes for all of the toys. The result is a box of toys in MasterA's room, one in MasterJ's room (plus all of his that do not fit in a box) a couple in the play area and only one in the lounge room. Although it doesn't look like we did much, everything is back where it is supposed to be and the toys are segregated in the boxes.....I wonder how long that will last lmao!!
Once the toys were done and the new 'putes were charged it was time to get into learning how my Mac Book worked. I must say that I have been very surprised at how intuitive it is and how much easier it is to do things than on my PC. Installing is a breeze, it shuts down and boots up in a split second and has all the functionality and more of my PC.
One disappointing thing was when I went to download Photoshop. I discovered that the one that I purchased earlier in the year is for Windows only. I have since found out that I can change the platform but only by upgrading as the version I have is no longer available. So it's not as bad as it could have been, but I will have to get in touch to get Adobe to sort it out for me.
The boys both had a good day at school and we all had yummy spag bol (cooked in Thermy) for dinner. Then I have spent the rest of the evening installing software etc on my new toy :-D I haven't yet downloaded any photos or transferred any files from my PC. That will have to wait until I get some more spare time! I will try the photos tomorrow night if I get a chance. Tomorrow we are off to Busselton for the day. MrJ's eldest daughter is down there on Nursing Prac for 3 weeks, so we are going for a day trip and I hope to get some nice pics at the same time :-D
