Weekly Chat (Non-Osprey), 25 August 2019

OG: Ditto from here! :-)

Hoping to wake up tomorrow and find that today's political shenanigans were a horrible dream! Save us from this Clown! Hope I don't get struck off for this, but what does he think he's doing!

I met an old yoga friend in the supermarket this morning, by the news stand. We both shook our heads!!

My OH has painted the windowsill in the sitting room, ready for the new blinds which may hopefully come next week. I seem to be wheezing again, as it's still hayfever weather but its also raining. <sigh>

I tried to post some photos on this forum from my phone, but it won't do it which is annoying: here are some of them which I have emailed to myself on the desktop, then stored as downloads, as the only way I know to get at them!

We went out on Monday to our favourite coffee venue, up in the hills.

..............................Nope. won't do it.   Its trying to post them all at the same time, and not one at a time, which of  course it doesn't like.  excuse me a minute, whilst I walk to the window and throw the desktop out through it......

Another try....

I give up!  --  It's disappeared and the only way I'm going to find it is to go through all 4 to 5 thousand of my pictures, one at a time.  I've had it with computers for today....

Lindy - Now you know why I don't even attempt to post photographs on this site! You sound very calm and polite when moving to throw your computer through the window. Mine usually goes, with some force from a distance! Metaphorically, of course. On one occasion I had been doing some research and written about 1,500 words, saving frequently - and the computer just wiped it all. While I was still ... thinking about it ... my phone rang and I was extremely abrupt with the friend on the other end, who laughed when I told him what had happened. I told him it was a good job he was several miles away or he was at risk of serious harm.

My profound sympathies, Pat. Computers can be a good tool but are also the most annoying of modern inventions.

This is the hot chocolate I had in the cafe, the man who served me asked if I'd like "The Works",  meaning additions such as these tiny marshmallows.  When I replied "Of course, that's what I've come for" he gave me extra!! 

I posted this by doing an Edit and asking it for Rich Formatting  so that you get a little icon of a mountain to click on.

Just been reading all your news and notice one or two of you have got a problem of sorts. Do hope they work themselves out.

OG - at least now you know what may be the outcome for J and hopefully descisions will be made soon as to what is best for J.

Hi Lynette.

Will try to post the colourful heather we saw on our outing.
