After the rain

Before, it was the drought. Everyone was talking about the lack of rainfall. The farmers were struggling to keep their crops alive. The government was deciding on new ways on how to beat the drought and enforcing strick water saving rules.

But with the arrival of winter, it has gone mostly into the other side. There were a couple of strong storms in New South Wales that caused widespread flooding and damage to property. Two, three days ago another heavy rainfall this time closer to where I live but still some way off. Wide spread flooding again with at least one person killed when a tree fell on his house. They seem to be recovering now but there has been more rain forecast..

Computer woes

I am typing this on my wife's laptop cos my monitor decided not to turn itself on anymore. I think there is something wrong with the adaptor but I cant get a new one cos none of the electric stores around here have ever seen the kind of adaptor I have. They keep telling me to check with the supplier and after much googling I have finally found a telephone number for ompany in New South Wales. I will call the guy tomorrow and hopefully he can supply me with another adaptor.

One of the stores told me that it was time to get a new computer. I kind of like that idea even though my budget for this yea doesn't include me getting a new computer. And if its just the fault of the adaptor which I seriously think it is, then there really is no point. It is still cheaper to get a new adaptor if i can find one.

I have started saving some money so that I an actually buy one in the not too distant future. But as of the moment that account has only nine dollars. Still, it is a start.
