Re: Good Morning Thursday
Hi people! Beautifully sunny here nearing 10:45 am, but quite chilly: 12℃ (54℉) but very blustery, 32 mph gust recorded so far this morning. Needed a jacket out picking grass. Only thing on the agenda today is a booze run with Chris this afternoon.soup for dinner.
What an ungodly time of night to waken, Bob ... OK, technically morning, but it's dark and I think of it as night. When the bladder wakes me that early I just go, then back to bed and sleep till my usual 8ish.

Re: Good Morning Thursday
Good evening all, I've had a very flusterating week so far. My Daughter bought me one of those computer desks, you know the kind, top shelf, one underneath, various spaces for this and that. It fit perfectly into the corner where I had the old one, so I went ahead and set it up, disconnecting wires here and there and making a careful note on paper of where they all went back. I stood back admiring my efforts and feeling delighted with myself that I needed no help, then I sat down in my new swivel chair to enjoy the fruits of my labour. I switched on, lay back, heard the happy apple mac sound, and waited, and waited, and waited. Not a blink on the screen, bare and black as the devil's arse it was, maybe I put a wire in where a wire shouldn't go, took them all out again stuck 'em all back in, but still nothing on the monitor. I needn't tell you, at this stage I was fit to be tied, where had I gone wrong?, I was baffled so I rang my Son, he was very busy all week and couldn't get over till tonight when he put it right. The fuse in the plug that feeds power into the box that leads to the monitor had blown, all that over a lousy fuse?, it was the last thing I thought of. I'm a bit cheesed off now and I'm having a few glasses of port to cheer myself up.Hope you all had a good day Folks.
But at least you have the satisfaction that you did everything right, and it was just a stupid fuse!
It wouldn't have occurred to me either to check the fuse but I shall bear that in mind for the future

Re: Good Morning Thursday
Thank you for your kind words Ladies, I'm coming around a bit now, if you know what I mean, great stuff Mister Sandeman makes
.I find this old mac easy for me to use Eileen and it's very reliable. I'm not getting techy (I couldn't) but My Son put in more memory and storage for me over the past few years and the speed is great. I wish he could put more memory into me
