Wednesday 8^th January

SHE SAID:

We were up around 7am. Keiran & Colleen headed off with their brand-new caravan at 9am. They are making their way to Queensland, to family, & going to New Zealand, too.

It took us a couple of hours to move ourselves in & sort everything out. There was a mountain of washing; where does it all come from? 

We stopped for morning tea & lunch, enjoying both outside in the very nice entertaining area, and we had a dip in the pool around 4pm... I think we will like it here a lot.

HE SAID:

We enjoyed a swim in the late afternoon. The water is heated, but that just means that it is tolerable for Varena, but not for long! We had spent the morning making many trips to the van, and to the clothesline. There was also the rearranging the beds and our stuff in the house, so we were a bit weary. The BBL in Sydney was abandoned due to rain, but pesto pasta cheered me up.

Google had emailed me yesterday about my Pixel 4a phone. Apparently, there is a compulsory update that will be applied in the next couple of days, but this update will ruin the stability of charging the phone and drastically reduce the battery life. Great! Not! I checked that it was real and not a scam before getting back to them to see what their compensation program looked like. For me, it was pretty ordinary. Just $50 US. Some countries are offered a battery replacement, but not Australia. Lucky, I did a lot of phone research for Black Friday and Boxing Day sales; at least I have an idea of what replacement I'll look at.
