Whelbourns in Canada

• Sunday 25 October 2009 - Technological Leap

This last week has seen a big leap in technology in the Whelbourn household.

  1. Gemma has purchased a Nikon D3000 Digital SLR Camera (see her photos below)and I am so happy because it means I get my Fuji S7000 back  
  2. We purchased a new house computer because the Compaq Presario brought in 1998 eventually gave up and refused to display anything on the screen. So this entry is being typed on our new HP P6241 Windows 7 driven 6GB RAM and wait for it 1 Terabyte hard disk!!! Cost $799.99 but I had $750 Future Shop gift card from cashing in all my Aeroplan points.   For my family who are reading this, sorry I spent the christmas money and due to the postal strike there will be no pressies and probably no cards

.

Kathryn is still kitting out her new home, and our friend Brenda has given her a microwave, one of those George Foreman grilling thingies, and a DVD player. Lucky Gal eh?

.

Jules is still busy sewing and preparing for the 1st Christmas Craft show (I counted 20 bags she is working on simultaneously . Oh to have the talents of a multi-tasking woman!

We had our first snowfall on Friday 23rd October,  about 5-10cm. This is the earliest we have known and the locals have said they cannot remember anything snowing before November. So much for global warming, time to wear long johns and eating porridge for breakfast.

.

The horse (Lexie) is looking good and filling out.

 The rabbits are still pooping and peeing whenever the girls pick them up.

 

OK time to post this entry and get on with trying to get to bed early (yes I am still busy at work and putting in some extra hours)
