Seaside

Another trip to the seaside. Had fish and chips, they taste better by the sea. Porthcawl was roasting hot. 

Susan wore her favourite sandals.

Heat Wave

Due to the hot weather we have been having home made pizzas. Cardiff City FC have the chance to get promoted to the Premier League! Cardiff Rugby in final of Amlin Cup. Pruned one tree in bottom right of garden. Chopped up into little bits and binned, don't want to mess up our rendering.

Completed second coat

Predicted heatwave this week says Lyn, will help dry out our newly painted render. I had a one day  holiday today. Took my laptop to Costas at Leckwith their coffee machine was being serviced and could only have tea,nice and quiet though had choice of all leather seats. Later went to both Coffee #1 in Roath. Theresa and her 2 sisters turned up @ Coffee shop, then bumped into Derek (night worker) who gave me his sick note (knee).

 

Coat 1

Our rendering was painted in "oatmeal" with oil base for extra long lasting cleanliness.

Rendering Cleaned

Look at the two pictures. One is render covered with green from trees, the other after a good clean from Lyn Price of Brynamman.

Mumbles

Went to Swansea Costa coffee shop, then popped down to the Mumbles. The weather was quite chilly, with a slight hint of rain. My raspberries and ice-cream was lush.

Re-install windows XP on laptop

Had a nasty malware problem on my Asus S6 laptop. After several RootKit and malware scanners failed to find anything wrong, the obvious Google redirection of searches, was too annoying. Security being a concern as I like to ebuy sometimes.

Luckily Asus have 2 recovery CDs and one Driver/Utilities CD which includes wireless setup.

Now I have a clean Windows XP system, just have to be patient re-installing all my favourite software. Thank goodness I've got backup DVDs.
