I'm an Auntie!!

I'm an Auntie as of this morning!!!

My sister had her little baby girl this morning at 7.39am, weighing 7.7 lbs, named Elliott Louise (Ellie for short). Elliot arrived 10 days early, guess she wanted to arrive sooner than later.

7 Days Old
I'm so excited and happy for my sister and her partner. Elliott is my first niece so she is special.

My new Summer SHoes

I finally got my new custom made Summer shoes delivered and they look great, I've very happy with them. I have been given some Gel inserts to use for when I get heel pressure, I just remove the other insoles and replace them with the gel ones. I'm now wearing them as my Winter shoes are making my feet too hot now.

Sports

I had sports today and it was much warmer in the gym. Most of the player's were meant to turn up but some didn't turn up in the end making the team even smaller. We played hockey and scoccer today and it was fun. I had a look at Sean's new van and it was nice both inside and out. We have two more practices to go.

Apple's Updates

OMG Apple has released new iMacs, Mac Minis and a White Macbook. I was more interested in the iMac's and the Macbooks but omg the iMacs!!!

The iMac's can come in a 20.5" LCD now and a whopping huge 27" LCD *jaw drops*, that's just crazy!! The 27" iMac now had QUAD CORE starting at 2.66GHz Intel Core 5 and you can also choose the 2.8GHz Quad Core Intel Core 7, now that would fly. RAM starts at 4GB but you can upgrade that as far as 16GB RAM, who the heck needs that much hahah. Then there is the Hard Drive which starts at 1TB but you can upgrade to 2TB. It be awesome to have a 27" iMac but I think realistly for me a 20" or even 20.5" iMac is big enough for me for surfing needs. The other thing I really noticed was the drop in price for Apple now. I could get a 21.5 inch 3.06GHZ iMac for what I paid for my current iMac...dammm
I'd love a Macbook Pro with all the top specs hehe, either the 15 inch and upgrade to 3.06GHz etc or the 17 inch and upgrade to 3.06GHz too, so I can take it where ever I go or even sit outside and surf the net when it's warm. In the Winter it be great to have Macbook Pro as I could go sit in the warmest part of the flat, rather than sit in the cold part of the lounge freezing. I'd need a 24" Display with it too so I can hook up the Macbook Pro to the bigger LCD when I need to watch movies or do what ever. Maybe one day when I win lotto hahah

Waterfront and Devonport

My friend Richie, his carer and her husband and daughter and I went to the Waterfront for the day. We walked on one side of the Hilton hotel and noticed that the other side was blocked off due to a massive Cruise ship moored at the dock. It was a huge ship, taller than the Hilton hotel too, see below a photo.

I so wish I could have a look inside, I bet it's amazing! I counted about 11 floors but there might be more. I wonder how many swimming pools are on board etc. Going through the carpark area I noticed a Lambo, see below

We then had a very yummy lunch at the Maritime Museum restaurant which sits right by the sea. I had some Mexicon food this time and a coke and later a CC Dry (Canadian Club with Ginger Beer), it was nice and refreshing. We then went around to the ferrys and went over to Devonport. It was a bit more windy over that side as it wasn't sheltered. Richie and I wheeled to the other end while his carer's daughter went swimming and played on the sand. Below is a photo I took at one end of Devonport, the wind has made the sea a bit choppy.

We then went back to town by ferry and got some ice cream, then headed back home. A really fun day.
