Thanks guys ... it's good to be back. Life is very strange without a daily internet connection to all of you and my computer life and projects. Makes me really notice how different my life is ... partly age life difference and roles, and partly all the health and other limitations now ... but very different from "what once was" (I was always all over the place out and about and/or always busy making or doing something LOL) I have been using the library but have to get in the habit of actually reading right through books again (I usually just look at the pictures now ... eyes too old and hands disobedient to holding books for too long ) ... at any rate ... this time out (more than a month?) has been an interesting time.

Weather expected to hit 36 celcius or so today ... I shall melt ... just like Tim Tams in the Oz heat ...............
