My Lifestory.
Well my life story has also seemed to have taken a backseat again. I must get back to it now that the initial enthusiasm of the new computer is starting to wane a little! That is when we return home.

Journal: August has gone: It's now September.
Well time has flown during this busy August. Most of my time has been spent on my new computer, setting it up to my liking and installing my stuff from from the old computer. I used a USB link cable to transfer the data which worked well.
Then I have spent a lot of time on my Trainz simulator. I'm now seriously involved and after my 3rd attempt, I am now building the route Swindon to Bath (turning off at Wootton Bassett), learning as I go how to do things in a lot of cases. Presently I am at Dauntsey Lock just north of Lyneham and building the old disused canal which runs alongside the line for a little way.
Time seems to fly by when I'm involved with Trainz. Most mornings I try to do some of the odd jobs and gardening until 11 a.m. and fit in half an hour editing David's journal for him if the mood takes me. I'm on the last chapter now. Then it will need to be draft printed, proof read, corrected and then reprinted. Anthony will do the proofing, his eagle eye is very good.
Our August weather has been sunny and warm this year with little rain, in fact we have had to do some watering in the garden. Spring has come a little early, but not too much. Although the day temperatures have been up to 17 - 20C, the night ones have been down, often to 4 -5C. and held back the growth.
September is now in progress and we are now in Whitianga whilst Gillian and Paul are in Australia for 10 days, looking after Caitlin. She is no trouble, she likes to make her own breakfast and prepare her own school lunch. She is usually up before her wake-up call at 7.30 a.m. We drop her off at school or she may decide to bike, we sometimes pick her up when school finishes or she may come home with friends.
We will go home this Friday afternoon taking Caitlin with us. Gillian and Paul return on Saturday to Hamilton Airport and they will return home with Caitlin.
