[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 355395, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Sharon/WO, I hope you don't get too waterlogged this weekend. The hike will be one way to keep fit. TM, I hope you find some good treasures at the sale today. Sorry spring is taking such a toll on you. Today was another hot day although the weather changed this evening. It was supposed to be windy and wet, but there wasn't much wind and I only had to flick the wipers on twice, briefly, on the drive home from my writers meeting. My laptop computer is dying. At least the screen seems to be - somehow between home and my meeting, it went to sleep permanently and I couldn't wake it up. Then after an hour of trying, I got my startup screen and I began to get some work done. Then I lost the screen again. It's a Mac laptop, so you don't get the "blue screen of death" - it just stays black. Then it went to plaid - literally! I've never seen THAT before! Well, it IS very old, by computer standards. At least the hard drive will be recoverable. Maybe it's going to be an easy fix, just a new screen chip... fingers crossed! We've got a busy day tomorrow. The Anzac Day dawn service means an early rise. Normally it's really cold in the Anzac pre-dawn, but although we've had a cool change through, our temperatures are still going to be in the 20s (Celsius). That's over 70F. I think we're going to have a very short winter this year! Anzac Day is celebrated around Australia and New Zealand on 25 April every year. Every village, every town, every city has a gathering and remembrance, usually beginning at dawn. Schools have their own Anzac service (usually in the week before).
