CHRISTMAS ... BALI

Message from Geoff to Brett
Your "Merry Christmas" Present = $1000.00
I want you to get before you take off for that "Weird Country" ( Bali )
There are two photos below
Is this the best place to transfer it to ??
If I do it today, it should be there Monday ( maybe Tuesday )
Or do you want half in cash and half transferred ??
Just let me know

Brett
I’ll let you know later
And that’s too much

Geoff
No, it is not !!

DUPLEX

Note from Geoff to Brett
Hi to you
As you know, I am happy to go back and forth today
BUT ... it would be nice to have an approximate Starting Time ... ??
PLUS ... as your friends / workmates, do you want me to give them Toilet access ... ??
PLUS ... they might need inside access when taking down the patios, etc ... ??
( I will have the keys with me )
Leaving to take Mum to work at round 6.30am
I am going to stop and take "before" photos on the way home
Guess I'll see you during the day

Brett
I’m not sure the time
Possibly 7:30am or around there
You can leave a door unlocked ... yes, that’s fine

Geoff
Thanks ... and see you !!
Going to go for a drive to the Post Office now !!

Geoff

A bit of work with the jackhammer and it is back at work !!

Tony left to go get a truck and start loading it up
Metal first to Sims, then the timber

Sharon
She understands completely and you will have no problem from them
She was really nice !!

Brett
Okay ... good and thanks

Geoff
I am "studying" the instruction manual right now !!

Brett
Good to hear

Geoff
This storm is Unbelievable !!
It is just past Eleven O'clock now
The rain is still pouring down !!
The sound of the thunder is so loud it makes you jump !!
Power and Internet are also going on and off
I don't think we will be going anywhere today
PS -- the Camera is now on charge !!

Brett
Nice
It's a bit different here ... photo below

And just a note ... the first time you do it, the camera takes Four Hours to charge
Will see what happens, etc, etc

The Memory Card is not included in the box
Plus the camera does not have an internal memory
Let me say ... a lot of people are "very pissed" at Sony !!
BUT ... the camera has Really Terrific Reviews besides this !!
Sharon is going to try to buy a Memory Card tomorrow
Hope She Can !!
PS - the "Duplex Backyard" looks real good and flat !!
