Wow that really is going the extra mile, well done EL

I agree. Well done, El.

 

 <- strawberry tarts, and doughnuts for Moonie.

The printer I've been using for years is the discontinued HP Deskjet 990Cxi which was launched early 2001 and would have been around then that I bought it. Although one can still get the printer cartridges for it I wouldn't be surprised if they became harder to get. Although the printer works on Windows 7 computers, that's only on a generic set up so there are limits to its use. I had been considering getting a new printer anyway and I'll probably switch to using it as my regular printer once I've used up my exisiting supply of cartridges.

So although it might seem as if I've gone the extra mile (actually it was 7 ) it's not as if it's wasted money.

 

Thanks for the strawberry tart, Yogi

One of my 5 a day

I am at that stage too. I have an even older HP Deskjet (720c) which I have had for about 20 years.  It is still a brilliant printer but I think I won't replace the ink again and will update.  I am still trying to decide which one to plump for as I would like to print photos too, and scan and of course I want to take advantage of the wireless printing too.

 

Thank you for the strawberry tart Yogi, delicious and just what I needed.

 

The electrician has gone now and I think the heating engineer is finishing off, although I can still hear him drilling.  The house is beginning to be toasty warm and the technology is amazing, I am still in shock having been marooned in the last century with the technology I had.  That was if you feel cold go and turn the boiler on.  Now I have a handy little room thermostat that is portable and shows me whether the boiler is on, what the room temperature is and I can control the heating wherever I am in the house.  Now I am sure you are all well used to this but it's a revelation to me.

 

The electrician was a lovely guy from Glasgow, with a beautiful accent.  We were talking about places we both knew from Perthshire.

Squiggle, I'm glad the majority if the work on the boiler is over and that you are already getting benefits from it. It's nice when the workmen are nice and you can talk with them.

The new printer I bought does print photos and has wireless printing but that's less relevant for me. It will be some time before I use it regularly but it seems sturdy enough. I haven't tried it yet but it looks as if you can set it up for 2 sided printing which is an attractive feature for me if I want to save paper when printing a document.

I'm expecting a new client to arrive in the next few minutes so won't be around for a while.

 

thanks Yogi

Dunno how I will manage 6 though

Does that mean we will have the run of the place then El?

No, I'm back

Drat

 Perthshire is so beautiful.

Afternoon all

So sorry I churchilled last night, i can't even remember doing it and I had a very heavy sleep last night!
I hope you all slept well

Today has been busy, lots of children to get tidied up for going back to school next week

El, I hope your new printer is very useful for you. I have an hp 3 in 1 too and I love it, it seems to be efficient with ink too

Squiggle, how's the boiler?

Hi Sweet

You must have been really tired last night then and we had guessed you had churchilled

It must have hit me suddenly, I was wide awake when I was cold and then I put my jumper on..

How's your day been?

My day has been okay fankoo

We was saying last night that this may have been you after cleaning your teeth...

Hi Summer. You must have needed a good sleep, and I hope you feel better for it.

I hope the kids were well behaved ones?

I dunno why but this just came to mind

Lol yes they were exceptionally good today I'm more used to them trying to destroy the place!

Maybe it was the floss moonie, perhaps the sandman has laced it with magic dust

I'm too hot

         

The thermostat is set for 22.5° but it had shot up to 24°.  I'm slowly getting to grips with it, I have set it quite low and the radiators have gone off and the temperature is slowly coming down.  I had to stick my head out of the patio doors and take deep breaths.  I am sure it will be wonderful once I am used to it. I might have to re-set the automatic setting on the main controller though because the factory setting is for the heating to stay on until 10.30 at night and I never have the heating on in the evening usually.

OMG! nooooooooooooo

Squiggle, I have the thermostat control in the room where the boiler is nearby due to the difficulties I had with the signal getting through when I first had this boiler. It's the warmest room in the house as it's upstairs on the south side. I worked out that setting it to 20 results in the other rooms being about 18 which is what I prefer. I'm sure you'll get the settings sorted out. Besides the switching off setting you may need to adjust the switching on setting as well.

 for the well behaved children.

lol @ the sandman with the magic dust.

I'm sure you'll be able to tweak it to your preferences, Squiggle, and then you'll be toasty warm, but not boiling hot.

I hope it's a boiler he's installed and not a sauna!
Squiggle I hope you soon get to grips with the controls, I hope you didn't feel too dizzy from all the heat

Evening Summer.

Hi Sweet and Yogi

Hi yogi & moonie
What have you been up to?

Hi Moonie.

Not a lot, apart from grocery shopping. There are some strawberry tarts in an earlier post, if you'd like one.

Yes please! *goes to find strawberry tart*

They are in one of these boxes  

Not a lot is the answer to that Sweet

Hi Yogi

Someone ate all the doughnuts though

 All six of them?! 

Mmmmm doughnuts!

Too late
