Thanks for the link, I'll have a read through later tonight.

 Hi Velvet.

Step away from the Loch Fyne bottle!

My day has been fine, hope yours has been too.

 

Evening Velvet. 

How did you get on with sorting out the negatives?

 I know that feeling.

Don't forget that two negatives make a positive. Or something

Hope that helps

I am positive that velvet will sort out those negatives tonight, I think

Having an early night, goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.

Hugs for the night owls.

*night owls*

I had to have a little giggle at the posts above ^

Another late night but I've got my car back all fixed and only £130.00

Hope you all had a nice day, let's hope tomorrow is less foggy & dark

Sweet dreams all

Good morning everyone

 

A brighter morning here than the last few days with some blue sky and clouds.

 

Summer, I'm glad you got your car fixed quickly and not too expensive

I wonder how Velvet got on with those negatives. We wait to see how this develops

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is damp and slightly misty. 

 

Summer, I'm glad you've got your car back and the bill wasn't too expensive.

 

I've been looking on several websites for their Black Friday deals. Lots of bargains about, if only I knew what to get!

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

Yogi, don't be surprised if some of those websites crash under the volume of people trying to get bargains.

Morning all horrible and foggy & damp here again today.
Brace yourselves- I'm actually going to get my own hair done!

What's everyone doing today?
I'd like to find a bargain or two today too, but like yogi I have no idea what to buy this year

Summer, don't forget the twirl for the others when you get back

 

I was watching some programme the other day and saw an actress called Carol Kane. Not a well known actress, she's been in films for years. Her best film is possibly Hester Street. Made in 1975, it's unlikely that you've heard of it or seen it. It's an authentic look at life for Jewish immigrants in New York in 1896 and is in black and white. She got an Oscar nomination for the role. The film has never been released on DVD but it is on Youtube.

She is the immigrant who arrives about 19 minutes into the film.

It may be of interest to those who like something different and are interested in how life was like at that time.

Thanks for the link, it sounds like something I would like.

It's driving me nuts, Summer, I am really struggling for ideas this year. 

 Amazon has been doing offers for a couple of days and at times it was struggling to load pages.

Hester Street was the first feature film directed by Joan Micklin Silver,

It is believed that Alice Guy Blache was the first woman to direct a film called La Feé aux choux (The Cabbage Fairy) in 1896 which may also be the first fictional film.

It's less than a minute long but is quite charming.

 

Good morning everyone, or should I say good afternoon?  Broadband's been off all morning, my ISP, some authentication problem evidently.

 

I am glad you managed to get your car sorted quickly Summer and the expense wasn't too bad.

 

Better dash off and catch up with everything I haven't yet been able to do, enjoy your day everyone

She plonked those babies down rather roughly, El.

Glad it's sorted and you are back with us, Squiggle.

Squiggle, I hope your broadband problem has been sorted out now

*twirls!* I feel human again now!

Squiggle I hope your internet issues are now settled, come back soon

Nice twirl, Summer

Thank you Yogi, Summer and EL I didn't know what to do with myself all morning especially as my newspaper comes on my Kindle too so I couldn't even read that.

 

Doesn't it make a difference when you've had your hair cut Summer, nice twirl

Squiggle, we have become so reliant on the internet and when there are problems we really notice it. In 20 years the internet has moved from something which was little used to what it is now. One wonders what it will be like in another 20 years.

 

It is though that this science fiction story (published in March 1946) is the first story to use the concept of effectively home computers linked together and the drawbacks.

It's a bit reminiscent of the film noir genre popular at the time but made into science fiction.

 

 All
Havent been around for a few days as my inner ear problems flared up again(vertigo) , rather unpleasant i can say! Managed to take some travel sickness pills, then got a prescription from GP for something stronger. They kicking in, so as long as nobody posts anything spinning around, i shall be fine 
Glad you got your internet probs sorted, squiggle, i can sympathise !
Well done Velvet, and hope that bottle is still safe and secure !
Well done Summer, lovely wreaths. Hope the hair is lovely, dont twirl in front of me though !
Love to everyone else 

Well done Velvet

 

Skylark, I hope the prescription helps you recover

My mother had mild meniere's disease which has similar symptoms but it wasn't bad enough for the need for medication.

 

For a moment Velvet I thought you had typed Sturgeon.

 

 So did I!

 

Hope you feel better soon, Skylark.

 

Well done on getting the negatives and projector organised, Velvet. You are all ready to go.

 

 

Lovely twirl, Summer.

lol You've made a start and that's a positive.

 

Evening Velvet.

Cinnarizine, Velvet, same family of drugs. x

No El, it wasnt Sturgeon, but sure he loves her really 
Sorry your mum suffered. El x
Good evening Yogi xx

Thanks velvet and Skylark   Inner ear trouble is horrible, my hubby used to suffer with it after his stroke and it is very disorientating.  I am sorry that your mum suffered too EL, it's difficult to put up with.

 

Are you intending to have a slide show at Christmas velvet? 

Aw squiggle, yes it is, especially thru the night .Difficult not to panic when everything is spinning around, bit it isnt, you know what i mean x

Hope it all comes together Velvet x

Oh no Skylark, is it still bad when you are lying down?  It only affected my hubby when he was standing, mostly when he first got up.  That sounds awful

I can move my head now, without spinning. Horrible last night hanging on to the bed, and it wasnt moving. Thanks, but getting better now 
Just getting GD,s itinerary, sorted for the weekend   
If i dont get back, have a lovely weekend , everyone 

That sounds horrible, Skylark. Is there something that triggers it off or just some random thing? I hope you feel better really soon.
