Computer/Photography grp

Hello Computer people,

Next Tuesday on November 27, we will discuss computers.

Mike and I have spent some quality time on my computer to try to give it some more zip. It has been marginally successful but it was a lot of fun to dig into the innards both hardware and software. If Mike is willing I'm ready to have another go at it.

Also, I will mention a site that gives advice about on-line shopping. Details will be forthcoming on Tuesday.

In the meantime here are 2 attachments explaining all you need to know about computers.

See you Tuesday, November 27 at 10:30 am.

Ha  I don't think it was that bad most of us were direst for the occasion and the weather was warm anyway. Over all a good walk doing 8 kms. and that great coffee at the end Thanks Alice. Next week we can do Wilkinson road by Kerry Park okay? Tks C U all Next week

Just walkin' in the rain-

Our mascot has nine of us in tow.

Not much for mushrooms but some fungi is growing well.

On the trail.

WOW!!  A Rainbow of  some description.

No one stranded on the Island.

One of many lakes we crossed - the walkers were cowards but Xena enjoyed the short-cuts through the water.

Thirteen walked the trails and streets in the Deer Park-Mill
Springs area.Some good trails in the woods.Very few
mushrooms spotted.Houses in this area are popping up
faster than the mushrooms.Coffee was enjoyed by all once
the walkers rearranged the furniture at Serious Coffee.
