#807 Wednesday 16 January

19 days to go. ..... till school starts again that is. Kaylia loves school and therapy. It's probably due to her inability to imagine ..... she cannot create activity or occupation in her mind so she relies on external agencies to supply these. Hence school and therapy.
Yesterday when Alison arrived for the first therapy session, Kaylia was straight into it .... and she worked really well.

Deb and Zoe cooked lasagne for tea .... and Kaylia really liked it ...... "More anya pees!" I liked it too!

The news this morning reports a new gastro bug that is sweeping the world ... the Norovirus variant Sydney 2012. It occurs to me that the 'ol codgers' of the society are in a unique position to notice and report on societal changes occurring at a macro level .... for instance this virus. 50 years ago if these viruses developed, no one knew because science could not detect them. If the virus did occur, it didn't spread .... as people did not travel. And if it occurred in one part of the world, the rest of the world did not find out till the virus had ended it's attack and fizzled out. It never became an epidemic.

This new virus is now known worldwide and largely thanks to the cruise ship industry, we can all expect to suffer! Better get your "chuck bags" ready!

Another happening today..... apparently a virus has struck a WA govt department and their computers are sending large numbers of "out of office" notices. These not only are a nuisance but they are quite likely to have the virus attached. Delete .... Delete! I have received 4 in the past half hour .... all purporting to be from Ed Dept staff.


Woo woooo ..... This is going to be bad! The virus has spread outside the source already. In the space of 10 minutes I'm now getting similar emails from a range of different places. All are sources that are highly likely to be using Outlook ....
At this rate of spread we can expect Outlook users to lose their email facility for a while!

Night
The email virus seems to have been caught quickly .... the problem faded.

This evening we were told that guests in the villa are having bad trouble with the wiring fault in the villa .... I'm on the plane tonight to deal with the guests and the fault. I'll be back Saturday night. This sounds like an extreme action but its not. The guest is staying for 2 months and this is the fault I had hoped I had fixed..... but it's not. It's a serious problem that we simply must fix.

More news tomorrow from Bali.
