Hi Sweet  

I hope your day goes well 

I managed to avoid the showers, some of which where hail

The sky is clearing now and the sun has just peeped out 

 

Love that last piccie El 

On BBC television and radio news they mentioned about voting for Britain's National Bird. Link to the webpage for the vote if you are interested:

 I wish I'd trained Keira to do that!

Thanks for the link, El. Off to vote.

Voted thanks El 

I went for the Robin

Would have saved a lot heartache, well for you anyway Yogi 

Afternoon Velvet 

Hope your day goes well 

Afternoon Velvet.

 

I was torn between the robin and the blckbird, but opted for the robin.

 True!

I like the phrase "gifting crows".

All is well, thanks, and I hope it is with you too.

I was tempted by the Robin, being festive as he is, but there's something special about a barn owl... They are all beautiful though

Sounds good to me Velvet 

Me tooooooo  

 

I saw a Robin on Saturday, he made me smile

What football match is on tonight?

I'm torn between the robin and the blackbird too, I love the robin he's so friendly and cheeky but I love the song of the blackbird, especially on a Spring or Summer morning and before nightfall.  But I love the wren too, I see them such a lot and they are so quick and beautiful.

Awww that's nice Sweet 

No footie on the channels I can get as far as I know but will have it on the radio 

Love that smiley Squiggle 

Sweet, I just noticed Reading v Bradford City on BBC1 

So that's  me soryed 

 

Yep, right about that Velvet 

 

Off for now, so see you later Velvet 

Sweet, I hope your workman has turned up and you are on your way home now  

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. Hugs for the night owls.

Nite nite. Sleep well and have sweet dreams Yogi

Aw night Ros

The workmen turned up late (traffic), mr summer walked bramble and cooked tea while I constructed and decorated a spring/easter gingerbread house for my BIL, who's birthday dinner we're going out for tomorrow night he's done some special favours for mr summer lately so we wanted an extra gift to say thank you.

Moonie & velvet, I hope you boys enjoyed the football tonight

Speaking of blackbirds.. We have one that sits on our roof most mornings, in full song and I saw a curlew yesterday, that sang beautifully too

Sweet dreams yogi, I hope you've had a nice evening

Sweet dreams everyone else

Good morning everyone

 

Brighrer weather here than yesterday and possibly no rain (yesterday it was damp all day).

 

Good morning everyone.

 

A cloudy start to the day.

 

Summer, I've been reading back because I thought I'd missed your original post about the workman, but couldn't find it in here. Then it finally dawned on me that you had probably mentioned it in the Darnies thread.

 

I'm sure your BiL will love his gingerbread house.

 

Happy St Patrick's Day!

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone, I was the same Yogi, trawling back trying to find the post from Summer that I had missed

 

How lovely seeing a curlew and hearing its call, I had no idea they had a beautiful song.

 

Aww how cute is this?

 

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, that's a really cute picture

Aaaaaw that's so so cute!! I want to tickle his ears

Good morning all I hope you've all slept well

Sorry, I thought I had mentioned the workmen coming in this thread too. There's some work needing doing at work, but I had to hang around to let them in to assess for a quote, and arrange when the actual work can be done. I ended up an hour and a half later home than normal.

Happy St. Patrick's day everyone!

Back in January I posted a couple of pictures of well known actors being filmed at Gloucester Catherdral:

Clearly related to the Sherlock series but as Sherlock is set in the present, their costumes seemed out of place.

 

The BBC have today explained why:

lol Squiggle, I'm glad I wasn't the only one!

 

What a sweet puppy!

Yes, Summer did post about waiting for a workman on the Darnies thread

Spend most of the morning trying to fix my ancient laptop. First of all, it switched on but wouldn't load up - black screen! Managed to do a startup repair and got it working again but then it wouldn't connect to the internet as the wilan was disabled, and I couldn't enable it. Lots of googling and a hundred 'solutions' later, I somehow managed to sort it myself - have no idea how I did it!

 

Edit: but now Firefox isn't loading and I'm getting an error message!

Yogi, I hope you can get Firefox working on your laptop.

Link to their page on help for this:

https://support.mozilla.org/en...start-find-solutions

 

 Thanks El, I'll take a look.

I googled the error code, but most people seem to suggest uninstalling and reinstalling FF - not really an option as I can't get onto the internet.

Yogi, sounds as if you've got problems. Looks as if the laptop isn't getting connected with the internet. One way to check is to see if you are able to get emails. If not, it' could be some setting that you need to tweak but it's probably easier for a technician actually there to try and work out what to do.

The Firefox problem could be unrelated. If you can get emails but can't get into Firefox first check that Internet Explorer browser is working. If that is but Firefox isn't, if you are able to get to the Firefox bowser page go to Help and select Restart with Add ons disabled. If that doesn't work, go to Help, Troubleshooting Information and click on the Refresh Firefox button at the top right of the page.

That sounds a headache Yogi, well done on getting as far as you did.  I hope EL's tips work, it sounds as if you are at the last hurdle.
