Evening all 

Summer, you were lucky to see a 🌈 

I had to scrape the frost off the car to visit my parents. They both have a bit of a cold but are otherwise okay.

Squiggle, I’m glad the weather was a bit warmer for you today

El, I’m glad your brother got home safely but sorry his journey was longer than it ought to have been. 

Moonie, the swans and cygnets are so gorgeous.  I’m sorry to say, there are none on our village pond this year.

Velvet, good to see you. I hope all is well with you?

 <- cakes 

Awwww, that’s really sad you don’t have any this year 

I hope they return again next year 

I am hoping against hope we get a new family next year. I shall still be up there regularly, every other day, to keep on looking at and filming this years family no matter what 😄😄😄

*takes a cake and closes the   so as not to be tempted again tonight 

Yogi, I hope both your parents are well again soon  

Good morning everyone

Cold and drizzly here.

I mentioned getting compensation to my brother re the trains delay and he thinks he will get some, he may even get back the full fare as there were electrical cabling issues in various places.

Yogi, I hope your parents recover quickly from their colds

I hope everyone has a good day

Night Yogi. You sound tired    

I was tired.  The clocks going back has knocked out my body clock and I’m waking really early

Good morning everyone 

Weather is damp and foggy. I hope the fog lifts soon as I need to go out to the bank and shops.

El, that’s good news that your brother may get the cost of his fare back

Sorry Moonie, I didn’t realise you were around when I said goodnight

Fingers crossed our pond has a family of swans next year, and that you continue to have a family in your pond too

Thanks gents, hopefully mum and dad will be better soon.

Have a good day, all.

Good morning everyone, quite a widespread frost this morning, melting away quickly.  Yogi I hope your sleep pattern gets sorted out really quickly.  That would be nice if your brother gets reimbursed the full fare for the inconvenience EL.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning Warmer here today, but damp and overcast

squiggle, how are you? I feel like I haven’t bumped in to you properly online for ages  

i hope your swans return Moonie, I enjoy hearing about their adventures 

I’m getting my hair chopped! Not too too short, but much shorter, to show my support for my bestie who’s losing hers to chemotherapy  i’ll come back to twirl after  

I had long hair for ten years Sweet.

I'm a hippy. Always will be, even with a crew cut.

*twirlsssssss* 💁‍♀️ it’s the shortest I’ve had it since I was 11 years old! But it looks & feels fab, my best friend likes it I’ve opted for a short bob, I can just about get a small pony tail in it lol

velvet, you can change your hair but your soul will still be the same  

Yogi and Squiggle, I'll let you know if my brother gets a full reimbursement of his train fare though I won't know for some time. Yogi, I hope your body clock adjusts soon to the change in time

Moonie, you could try to see if there's a swan letting agency so they could let swans know that there was your park lake available

Velvet, I've never had long hair. As a child it was mandatory short back and sides then I've had it longer ever since but not hippy length. I can confirm that I'm not Iggy Pop

Summer, great twirl Now you'll be able to go bobbing apples tomorrow

Sweet, there is still one of last years babies, albeit beautiful white all over now 

Still have 5 of this year babies and of course our mum. She enjoys nothing better than hunting down geese until they leave ‘her’ pool  

I was up earlier and they was all looking beautiful. I fed them and they went happily on their way 😄😄😄

It’s looking like last years ‘baby’ I call him ‘the juvenile’ because that’s all he is really, could be here new mate 

We shall see 

Nice twirl btw. Your hair is looking lubberly 😁

What a lovely, supportive idea, Summer 

lol El, at the swan letting agency

Moonie, you’ll have to keep us updated re the mum and juvenile situation.

Evening Yogi   

You have seen me through so much I don't know where I'd begin to thank you 

And Baz       

Hope your dad's okay. And your mum   

Yogi, Yogi swans 🦢🦢🦢😁😁😁

You don’t need to thank me for anything. Friends are there for each other and that’s what we all do in here.

I did the update this morning and I can see them now.

Good morning everyone

Cold but sunny here at present, temperature forecast to recover during the day.

Yogi, I hope you have a nice time out and about with Mr Y

Moonie, I'm glad your swan emojis have arrived As with other newer emojis it's impossible for me to see them on my Windows 7 computer.

Client meeting this morning to collect their files. Unlikely to be anything unexpected about the meeting.

I hope everyone has a good day

Hi Yogi  

I’m so glad you can see them now 😁😁😁🦢🦢🦢

Good morning Buddies  

Bright, crisp and sunny start here. A gentle breeze. I will be mostly banking and shopping today. So it looks like it could be ‘an extra layers’ day 

El, I thought they had stopped doing updates for that OS 

I hope your clients meeting goes as anticipated 

Yogi, I hope you have a nice time out with Mr Y 

I don’t suppose you will be going near any cake shops 

Leaving  for Sweet, Squiggle and Velvy 

Have a good day everyone    

Good morning everyone, a bright but cold morning here, wrap up warm Moonie and thanks for the hug   I'm operating windows 7 on my laptop too so I can't see the swans either. Incidentally  it's XP they've stopped supporting Moonie

Enjoy your day everyone

I hope your all having a good day.

squiggs in Devon  (yes please)  El in Gloucester, a gentleman I  love for his brightness    Sweet, you are the rainbow, keep living it  Ros, I like Russian Choirs but I reckon you can sing. You meet Baz which is bulletproof      Yogi, I'd need Andy Williams, Where Do I Begin   

How the feck did I leave Moonie out?

We come from the same place, that's how.

Moonie, I thought you might mention cakes as son as you saw that Yogi was going out

As Squiggle says, it's Windows XP which is no longer supported by Microsoft. You can still buy computers with Windows XP on them though anyone who did would have to avoid any internet access for security reasons. Windows 7 support ends on 14 January 2020 so a while yet before that happens. For those businesses who decide to carry on with Windows 7 past then they would be able to get support from Microsoft until 2023 but they would have to pay for that so for the majority of people it's the January 2020 date.

Velver, i hope you are having a good day

You know me too well, El 

I did have Vista and XP in the past but don’t like Microsoft to be honest. I have Linux on my laptops and as you know, I have Apple on my iPad and iPhone 

Linux is a simple no extras OS, which suits my needs  

Moonie, the reason I stick with Windows is so that my computer is compatable with clients' computers.

If any of you have an Apple watch or know anyone who does, don't install the latest update which has been pulled as it's been making the watches stop working and they haven't been able to get them starting again.

For the time being go back to using a sundial.

Though it's too cloudy for that to be of much use
