Oh!!! well, new format looks to be ok, but for me there is very little benefit new vs old , things like uploading photos seems to have improved which is a plus, and we do now only seem to have 1 font size which is brilliant, maybe when it is cold outside and dark i may do some more exploring but i did think my days of de-bugging software were over and i could lead a quiet life, maybe i will just let others do the exploring.
another dull day but cant complain had some very good days of late, had to cut the grass again, but mower now cleaned for the 3rd time and hopefully stowed until 2025 😁
wow emoji picker seems to give a much greater choice😎

Not a very good last 24 hours, both my brothers admitted to hospital, younger one had a blood transfusion last night and ongoing tests today so no idea yet what the problem is. Elder brother in Hampshire also admitted last night and again no idea as yet why.
Went to watch granddaughter play footy this morning, wrong venue, they were away from home ground!!
Wonder what the third thing will be?0 -
@Oneputt so sorry to hear your news.

@Oneputt I am so sorry to hear about your brothers. I hope you get better news soon and what bad luck about going to the wrong venue for your grand-daughter's football match. I hope your weekend improves.

Sorry about your brothers Oneputt hope they soon recover. A grey day here today. We went away for a few days last weekend, to Somerset, Wells and a visit to Clark’s Village. Very fortunate with the weather, the sun came out and relatively mild. Wells was beautiful in the sunshine, a nice winter visit. Saw the new cathedral cat, Bazil, he’s 12 but new to the cathedral since old Louis past away, he was fast asleep in his bed on the counter in the shop. We visited a garden centre near where we stayed, it was packed, a lovely Christmas display took up most of the floor space, I did buy some more Christmas decs. A very quick visit to Glastonbury, but we didn’t stay long, it has become a very strange place. A bargain at Clark’s Village, a thick winter jacket from Marks with a hood, which I like, only £25 reduced from £50. Then home again. Nice little winter break.
Our son phoned this morning he is trying to cope with keeping their springer spaniel very quiet, never easy with a springer, she has just had a big op on her back leg. Just allowed 4 very short and gentle on lead walks a day and massaging, not allowed to run in the garden. They aren’t looking forward to 6 weeks of this. Op cost almost £5,000, Son worked out that vets bills have been just over £10,000 since they got her, she’s 7, she is insured but they have to pay part of it. Vets bills do now seem extortionate. She is much loved and our Sons pride and joy. This cost of vets fees must put some people off getting a pet, I know it does me.

Likewise from me @Oneputt - must be a very worrying time for you and I hope they are soon better.
Apologies to all for my previous ramblings in response to @DavidKlyne 's post. I've been having real problems with passwords - probably down to me confusing the password manager! I'm logged in now and won't log out unless it's forced on me!

Trying again to reply.... seemed to get it wrong last time...!!
Like you @DavidKlyne we tend not to make curtains these days, although Carol is quite good at sewing and needlework. These days we rarely close our curtains - we tend to use the blinds which we have fitted.
Carol hseems to have passed on her sewing talent to our eldeat daughter, Ruth.... (the one who lives in the Outer Hebrides!!). She is in the progress of making 'pigs in blankets'.... she also makes 'memory bears' and 'memory blankets'.... 🙂
