Nightly Goodnight Everyone

Dot, your Kiwi tree looks like a stunner as well. Must be something about bright red flowers that appeals to us all. Good to see the misting fans are working. Too hot for us to be working tho! xxxx

Terry, the Firewheel is evergreen member of the proteaceae group of trees. They are related to grevillea, banksia and protea and I don't see any of the old Illawarra flames in the list. That's a plus, anyway. It's good for a street tree because it's growth habit is straight up, so no branches hanging out over the street. Allegedly only goes to 7 metres, but I think this plant didn't get that message. It will have a haircut once finished flowering. Maybe even just a top lopping will do the job.

I wasn't here last night because my computer man had the machine overnight. It's had a couple of incidents of turning black screen or mouse freezing, so I knew that it was time for a cleaning out. It should have that happen in September, but we were a bit busy and forgot. He brought it back this morning and stayed for quite a while while he updated windows. This time last year, he told me that he was happy with win7 and didn't see a need to change. What changed his tune? HIs win 7 become infected through the windows things and caused him all sorts of problems. He has windows 11 on all his computers now and thinks we are safer to keep the updates on security patches happening. Even the computer nerds can't make up their minds!

It was hot here today, so again an inside day with the aircon, but as much of the day seemed to be with the computer man, it was just another overheated stay indoors with the air con day. The only bonus is that the sun was making our power, so the aircon was free.

There is only one rule. Stay up to date. If you don't, your PC is in risk. Which means you, your identity and your money is too.

Anyone who says otherwise is a fool.

Then another one from "Male-wares" ??sp tells me to go with them??? I am going to get a new comp so what security things should I get??? Goodnight again everyone x

Dot if you can just hold your mouse over the bit that tells you who the message is from, you will see a line with a load of garbage. That tells you the email is genuinely trash. There is probably nothing wrong with your computer. I get those messages daily and it doesn't change when you get a new computer. My computer guy insists on Eset smart security. He probably gets a good kick back from the company. Talk to the people who you take your machine to and get their opinions. They know your machine and how you use it. Stay cool mate xxxx

Great to see you back with us Keith. xxx

Today was another stinker. Over 40 according to the tv. I didn't open the door to find out. I could see the shimmer of heat haze over much of the area. I forced myself to stay indoors and get the tax statement organised. PITA. The job has been done and on Monday, I will have to make an appointment to see our accountant. The list of things that must be done is getting a lot more manageable.

So far, I have found that doing the tax with windows 11 was not so much more different than windows 10. The pictures in the photos, are not so easy to see, so I will have to be patient and work out how to make each tiny picture readable. Nothing that will cause me to spit the dummy just yet. I am hoping that this means that all the original horrors with the 11 version have already been ironed out. For quite a long time I heard people complaining bitterly about it, so that's why I didn't rush to change. I heed the advice from those who know better. Thanks Jon.

Tomorrow is predicted to be another stinker, until a cooling Southerly blows in. Then I will go outside. Hoping for the Southerly earlier than the weatherman says.
