Thanks to Kevin Rudd and his generous offer to the nations cash poor population, I have been stimulating the economy. Purchased with my hard earned cash one fine looking Toshiba Notebook 2.16 GB dual core processor, 2 GB ram, 250 GB hard drive. I went shopping yesterday with 3 mates, Pete was the grasshopper, Wendy, Wayne and myself the students. In just over 2 hours between us we managed to purchase 4 laptops with bags, software, surge protectors and wireless mice, enough to keep us happy for some time to come. Jase willingly connected and booted it up after the boys had gone to bed. Aiden now can be on the bob the builder/Wiggles / Thomas/ websites while I pay bills/ write this/ face book etc. Am very happy with my purchase, as well as Jase who was a bit worried about what I would come back with, I think he is pleased Pete was there for technical support (Sean in Harvey Norman was very helpful as well). Had a great day out yesterday at playgroup open day, lots of people, play, food, a jumping castle in a relaxed atmosphere. Lots of praise goes out to the coordinators of Mudgee playgroup. To top it all off for the boys, we went to the hospital yesterday to watch the helicopter take off. We made it just in time to see them start it up and take off. Aiden and Sam were very impressed.
Also this weekend Jase spent Saturday out in the scub with the RAFT fire brigade lighting up 100 ha of bush in a hazard reduction burn exercise. He seemed have heaps of fun. I spent a couple of hours doing fire training with the crew in the Cat 1 simulating fire overrun and MVA scenarios.
