Three simple clicks on my favourite forum, and photos appear like magic, a good size as well!
On here? I have a life to lead and value my time on this Earth!
10 out of 10 for perseverance above and beyond website usage!

The art of the impossible
I suppose because I have a website which in itself is quite a steep learning curve to get things to load where you want them so after that CT is relatively easy. It is easier if you have a story you want to contribute almost everything is possible with the desire to achieve it. There are little tricks that you learn along the way. I always write stories in Word and then copy and paste when finished. I save the photos I want to use to the desktop at the required size. From there is is a fairly easy procedure to complete and post the story.

I have started cycling to work. Last week I cycled behind a taxi and saved myself a fiver. Next week I am going to cycle behind a Jumbo jet and save thousands of pounds. It would be really pointless though as I retired a couple of years ago. Wish I was still working then I could reap in all that cash.

Walked into town for couple of bits. Took the backpack to get some birdseed too. No mixed seed in Wilko don't need sunflower and our birds won't eat peanuts 😮 bought some suet blocks as they've decided they like these again! Delivery due in overnight tonight. Walked home making a slight detour and popped into B&M again no mixed birdseed in there either. Pointless.
Good job got building society books updated and mum's bits and bobs otherwise totally pointless!
Guess I'll have to go again tomorrow, may get hubby to pick me up if they have had a delivery and buy it in bulk..........

Ah David, you make it sound so simple - there are those of us who can barely switch the machine on. Let alone resize a piccy, store it somewhere that only this site can see. Just tried it but couldn't find pic on the desk top.
Oh well back to school!

If you can learn to edit the photo size to 500 you can do it.

Moving stock around today.
Picture resized with paint.net to 600 pixels wide.
Easy peasy. But the work of a moment.

Had a day full of purpose (and point, if that word can be misused for the moment), as opposed to yesterdays. Today I managed to turn up for my hospital appointment on the right day whereas yesterday...
Mind you I tried to get away with it on the basis that as parking is so difficult I was just bagging a space in plenty of time. Didn't work.

Apple devices! Website won't let me redo my avatar via IPad, and I have to resize if I use Mac Book! I can't be bothered using a third party hosting app, as this is the only website that I cannot post photos!
Update on the nursery visit....two beautiful roses, one a Climber. A Summer flowering snowdrop, some Sweet Potato plants to try out, OH went mad buying some unusual tomato varieties (which he will plant and then expect a garden fairy to water!) and some sweet pea seedlings. Oh, and yellow crocosmia bulbs! The wallet was empty when we left, I call that a good afternoon's shopping!

Tda wow on both counts. Best value for money is buying plants, years of joy hopefully. I used to have to hide plants rather like some did clothes which they suddenly appeared in claiming it'd been in the wardrobe for years 😉. The flower fairy sent lots of new plants into our borders 😆.
How did you do you photo?

I just took a photo on pad and butchered it down to just show dog and no background. Rather surprised it worked. Full photo is lovely, much nicer than this. Pad won't let me use it as avatar though, apparently I need Adobe Flash player. But only for this website
i do now have the dilemma of finding space for new plants!

Well done TDA, you now have the badge too! (You get the tshirt if you can manage the story section....
)If I use my phone to post photos on here the quality isn't so good, but via the laptop they are ok.
Pleased to hear you found lots of nice plants and I hope the tomatoes do well under your care. Sounds like a good end to the holiday.
I'm in trouble because I moved some new plants out ready for planting and the wind has knocked them over during the night....best intentions and all that.
Taking some spare plants to daughter no 2 today, they have a new small garden and an allotment with lots of gaps to fill. Hope you all have a good day.

Good start to day as we received a letter from our bank giving us £40 as a result of a minor slip up by them at their call centre. Came out of the blue and had forgotten about incident tbh.
Busy day with Mrs.WN helping out with caring for MIL as she recovers from knee surgery. We went to a library we visit about once a month and came away with 10 books to read (between 3 of us). Then general little jobs that needed doing.

Spent all today trying to work out when the clocks go back, does it get earlier later? I suppose that if I don't understand my own question then nobody is likely to know the answer. A bit pointless really.

When did the clocks go forward?
Spring is officially here, the nights are becoming lighter, the temperature is getting (slightly) warmer – and on Sunday, 26 March 2017, we moved the UK to British Summer Time: at 1am to be precise.
You may need to do it now JD

OH has gone on a campaign, clearing out food jars that are out of date. His collection was sitting on the draining board this morning, I asked him what he was going to do with them, he said "straight in the recycling." He's looking a bit glummer when I said, "they need emptying and cleaning out first and I'll keep have the smaller ones for jam." I am happy for him to keep up the good work.

I'll wager it's played havoc with any of His appointments
