Absolutely perfect day in our beautiful valley to

Absolutely perfect day in our beautiful valley to see out 2023. It has sure been a year, one that certainly changed a lot of things for me (Liz) personally, and for the business as I try to find a new place for myself in the world, given my new health challenges from long covid and ME/CFS. Still, looking back, I think it does rather invite contemplation of the metaphor of my messy but cheerful rose arbour. The rosebush on the left is growing next to a compost bin, and (while they could both do with a thorough weeding *cough*), it is definitely reaping the benefits from the magic of composting, since it's half as big again as the other one planted at the same time. Here's to a 2024 where all the detritus from the last year (or two, or three) is transmuted into similar goodness and growth. Cheers!

Santa brought you a new computer – lucky you! (Young Domino here was hoping his presents would contain a new mouse, but sadly he was disappointed). But are you sure you’ve covered all of your cybersecurity bases before disposing of your old unwanted hardware? Paul has written a blog post detailing things to consider before passing on your old devices to someone new. Link in bio.

Season's greetings from Babyface, Bubba and everyone else at Huon Computer Solutions. Don't "pig out" too much tomorrow, and we will see you after Christmas. Paul will be available to help set up any Christmas gifts that may need a bit of tech wizardry, just give us a (sleigh) bell on the usual number.

Not just a wizard at computer repairs... Paul and kids off to enjoy Halloween in Geeveston this afternoon.

13 years ago today, we picked up the keys for a somewhat tumbledown old farmhouse on ten weedy acres near Geeveston. It's still fairly tumbledown and weedy (this is not a rural lifestyle influencer or home renovation account for a reason), but we still love it here in this beautiful part of the world. And we are still honoured to be the longest serving IT troubleshooting business in the Valley, having started Huon Computer Solutions 11 years ago. We have weathered some highs and lows in that time, but we are still going strong.

Paul is still doing house calls and Huon Computer Solutions is going strong. But on the social media side, I'm still mostly on bedrest with long covid and realised that I had to cut out any discretionary driving, so there won't be many photos for a while. This shot is from inside the goose shed, which they only use over winter and spring. It will be time to clear it out soon and start putting them away in the evening.

There are some beautiful views in this part of the world, that's for sure. It's been a while since my last post here; I (Liz) still haven't fully recovered from getting covid three months ago, but have been able to spend more time out of the house in the last few weeks. This shot was captured coming down Woodbridge Hill Rd this morning.

So covid has been making its way through the HCS nest recently, but things are looking brighter. Paul is clear of infection and back to making house calls, and I am definitely improving after a few weeks of bed rest from fatigue. Photos here may be a bit light on for a while until I'm up to more discretionary excursions (this is an old nest in our wood shed I was reminded of while hanging out laundry this morning) but on the other hand I get more time to scroll through everyone else's.

Paul inviting you to vote for his alter ego Fred Nurk, at Halloween in Geeveston tonight (note, not actually stolen election material). A few years ago, as a volunteer with GeCo, Paul started running the Orange Balloons project, to invite houses in the main part of Geeveston to decorate for Halloween and put out orange balloons (now orange streamers) on the letter box to invite kids and their families to trick or treat. After a few years where it was postponed due to Covid, it was wonderful to see it running again this year.

*taps mic* is this thing still on? It's been an awfully long time between posts on this account, but I can assure you that Huon Computer Solutions itself has not been in hibernation and is still helping locals with their computer problems. I (Liz) am looking forward to re-engaging with this account going forwards, but hopefully putting less creative pressure on myself so I avoid burning out again.

Geese and snowdrops. The geese have settled in here so thoroughly that we now let them free range, so here they are in the front garden. The gander (Sage) is giving me some serious side eye in this shot. #geeveston #huonvalley #thehuon #geeseofinstagram #snowdrops #huoncomputersolutions

Well, I'm in Brisbane for the weekend (currently navigating the public transport system: this is part of the mural at Eagle Junction station). Never fear, Paul is at home and available for house calls as usual. #weekendaway #huoncomputersolutions #seeyouonmonday

Former St Peter's Anglican Church building, Geeveston. Not usually one of my favourite buildings in town, but it was looking rather stark and dramatic this afternoon with the late sunlight hitting the face and the clouds massing above. #geeveston #huonvalley #thehuon #huoncomputersolutions

St John's Church, Franklin. I don't know where Mary, relict of the Rev. Thomas Stansfield, was actually buried in 1888, as her gravestone was propped up against the wall of the church. #franklintasmania #huonvalley #thehuon #oldgraveyard #mementomori #huoncomputersolutions

Mossy stone retaining wall at Franklin. There are some lovely patches of stonework along the road. And I am always impressed at the resilience of some plants, growing in the most unpromising looking locations so long as they can get their roots into a bit of soil. #franklintasmania #huonvalley #thehuon #mossy #mossystone #mossywall #mytexturefix #huoncomputersolutions
