And not in the news today...
Jan. 22nd, 2006 06:36 pmIt is hot here - 35 degrees (though not the 36 degrees forecast)... We weakened and bought an electric fan. This is a good thing and being ensconced on the sofa reading while having air blown past you is definitely worth it. Now all we need is the slave girls, peeled grapes and buckets of sorbet...
1/2 hour driving practice today - bit hot by 10 am and we wanted to visit the markets. No luck there though:(
Curiously enough of the listed plans for Sat, CC did supply a food processor but no speakers, music voucher wasn't used due to crap selection, K-mart has nasty expensive sheets (corrected at YMCA shop today for 3 sheets for half the price of one - only need something to throw over in the hot nights). Managed the home and blobbing though... and the picnic.
Casuarina Sands last night was good. Only waded in the water since the air temperature had cooled from a couple thunderstorms and mozzies were starting to emerge, but the water temperature was great and the river bottom nice and sandy. Trifle disturbing to have people swimming and people fishing at the same spot though.
Need to work out what to do: acquired an amp and speaker set, but the speakers are blown (yes, daft us for not checking first - it was cheap). Speakers are 40W, 6 ohm impedance. Now for replacement speakers (the amp seems fine), we realise we can use ones of up to that power max, but what about the impedance? Does that need to match exactly, or can we go a bit below (say 8 ohms - based on info from All About Impedance) and still be ok and not fry the circuits?
Doco lineup on SBS tonight looks interesting - on Lost Worlds, 1st of a three part series on famous mistresses - mother of Cesare and Lucretia Borgia tonight. After that, a doco called Science: Dr Tatiana's Sex Advice To All Creation - a guide to the evolutionary biology of sex... Pity it is starting to reach the hotter inside than out stage of the proceedings...
