Successful trivia nite — visitor gone

Suc­cess­ful trivia nite — vis­i­tor gone

After some hic­cups the Trivia nite turned out a great suc­cess. So much so that we have no hit the tar­get for the Pen­folds to be able to go to the US this Jan­u­ary. It’ll con­tinue to be an ongo­ing costly exer­cise, but at least this hur­dle has been overcome.

The board went for $2200!

We had a bit of a hic­cup. About an hour and a half before we were to start, the lap­top on which I had the Trivia pro­gram setup (to run on the pro­jec­tor screen), decided to just die alto­gether. It just went blank and wouldn’t power up any­more. So, I very quickly drove home, installed the soft­ware on a dif­fer­ent pc, re-type the ques­tions (which I thank­fully had printed the night before), redid the audio clips and drove back to Ban­ga­low, to have it all set up and run­ning just in time. Phew, that was a close one.

Aunty Shane left yes­ter­day. We enjoyed hav­ing her here. I would’ve liked to have spent a bit more time with her, but unfor­tu­nately was very busy at work. But we man­aged to catch up and have some nice talks. I think she enjoyed her stay and had a good rest also. She devoured a few books while here and slept in a few mornings.
