Cancelled Netflix

 Today I cancelled Netflix.
My main reasons...
Firstly I rarely even log on and even when I do log on, I rarely find anything to watch.  There is so much content but for whatever reason I do not seem to settle on anything.

Next when I go looking to watch something, typically a movie, it's inevitably not on Netflix.  I suspect going forward I will have to use pay per view services.

The third reason is that Netflix block casting.  I can not cast netflix on my phone to a friends TV.  This means that if I am at a friends house, I have to enter my credentials into my friends TV and inevitably I forget to delete those credentials.

To give netflix due, the process was actually straightforward.

Maroochydore Graham Mel and Aunty Marg

 28-12-2025 SUNDAY

Drove to Maroochydore and visited Graham and Mel at their new apartment.  Graham whipped up a beautiful breakfast of scrambled eggs, avocado and so on.  This was complimented with a celebratory glass of champagne. We then went for a walk to the rocks at the south end of the beach.  On the way back Phoebe went for a swim and when we reached the flags where we had entered the beach, Graham caught up with various lifesaving mates and went for a swim.

Marcus Sail

Graham and Mel kindly took Phoebe, Marcus, Chris, Dan and myself for a sail on Moreton Bay.

It was very windy and rough. On the way over the strong wind ripped the corner out of the sail. 

Phoebe and Dan attempted to catch fish. We understand in weather like this, the fish go 
 deeper in the water and are hard to catch. 

Marcus must be becoming English as he was the only one to go for a swim. 

Phoebe took care of the food. 
We took:
Biscuits (Jatz and captains table)
Cheeses (Yarlsberg+, )
Beer(Supercrisp)
Red wine()
white wine. 
Bundaberg ginger beer.
Sausages x 28
Potatoe salad,
Coleslaw.
Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber Avocado 
Bread rolls.

Christmas Day

PARK RUN
Painting at Glenrich 
Snooze 
Swim at Tim & Ro's
Storm
Phone Lewis & Clare
Dinner with Jai & Fletch 

PARK RUN
woke without the alarm at about 5:20. Sent a message to Phoebe who was sleeping at St Lucia. No response. Later Established she'd slept until 9am.

Mags and I decamped for Park Run arriving in comfortable time.  

The run was very hot.  I put sunscreen on my head as I had no hat. Stopped a few times for drinks and just to walk.  So unfit.  
Rocks Riverside parkrun results for event #597. Your time was 00:41:16.






Christmas Eve

Conveniently from before we even got together, Phoebe and I both had our kids on Christmas eve and on Christmas day they'd go to our exes. 

Today had two activities planned. A drive through Fernvale and a walk at Northbrook gorge followed by Christmas dinner in the evening.
