These last few days have been a bit of a blur with so much happening.

Following all the rain of last Sunday we had a nice evening at the club at the Dinner Dance that was held regardless of the golf wash out.  We had over five inches of rain these last few days but the golf course managed to recover very well and fortunately in time for the Ladies Foursomes Championships on Tuesday.

Monday 26th September 2011 we were up early for F-Troop.  We were unable to get out on the course so managed to get a lot of work done at the front gardens & I got some plants out of my backyard and into garden areas at the club.   Shane has been doing a lot of hard work on setting up my new computer so I have been spending a lot of time getting my email address book sorted and contact details for my iPhone..  Monday night we went over to the club to witness the voting count for the new incoming club directors.  Peter was re-elected as Vice President unopposed and the two other directors were returned to their positions which was a good outcome.

Tuesday 27th September 2011 I was at the club by 8 o'clock to hit off in the Ladies Foursomes Championships.  My partner was Rosemary Cohen who I have played with in these Championships for quite a few years.  We played with Susan Bourne and Pam Witt and they were great company.  We had some good highlights (and some low lights) but we all played well enough to win a ball.  We had to play 27 holes which was long enough for me.  The Div 1 players had to play 36 holes.   It was a long day but a nice day.  I did not get home until after 4 o'clock to be able to process my photos for the golfer's blog so it was a big rush to get back to the club by 6.30pm to attend the Club AGM.  We did not have time to have dinner so after the meeting Col, Mark & Anne came home for a coffee & snack & we ended up having a very late night with Col staying over as it was too late to drive home.  

Wednesday 28th September 2011 (today) Peter went to golf so I decided that I would have some retail therapy at Erina Fair.  I need to get myself organised for our China trip now.  I managed to get some new golf shorts and 3/4's, some summer tops, my medications and a few other things that I needed for the trip.  I had a phone call from the suppliers of my replacement laptop and they told me that they were going to upgrade the computer because the old one was not in stock.  That was good news as it will not cost me anything.  I only hope that it gets here in time for me to set it up before we go overseas.  The weather has changed for the worse again and we had more rain throughout the day with a forecast of more rain in the next few days.

I am really enjoying my iPhone with all the great applications I can get.  The camera function is good and easy to use and transfer.  The video of Joel swimming (last post) was taken on my iPhone.  I have set up all of my email accounts into the iPhone so that I can access my emails at any time and am in the process of sorting my address book so that I can send out my new email address to all of my contacts.  It is just so wonderful to have fast Internet & efficient IT products to make m life easier.  I am a real gadget person & am having a great time discovering what I can do with my new toys.   Finding enough time in the day is a problem.
