Thanks I had hoped that would be the case as I mentioned to the Lloyds person that I was intending to transfer more and she thought that I wouldn't need to ring again

I went up the park yesterday to find not only our now resident male and female swans along with the cygnet that arrived with them but also 5 other nearly fully grown cygnets too

The swans was keeping the cygnets and geese off the pool

The male hunted a cygnet down, flying after it until it left for the side of the pool

Have a grand day everyone

Moonie, swans are known for being rather territorial

that's so interesting EL

night moonsie lovely hearing about your swans and cygnets yogi

Good morning everyone it's a little chilly this morning but there is a hint of some sunny intervals later. I'm worried about the cygnets now! Where are their parents? Is it normal for them to be out on their own? Where are they going to settle if they keep getting chased away?

Enjoy your day everyone

Hi Squiggle

When I say cygnets the are nearly fully grown swans

They have probably been chased off where they were born because it’s mating season. The dominant male swan is very territorial and will chase off any one who is perceived to be a rival. The cygnets will fly off to another and another stretch of water until they find a safe place usually with other cygnets and or swans.

Good morning everyone

Its rather dull here but the sun is trying to burn through. It’s a little breezy but not to cold. A high of 11 degrees is forecast

Have a lovely day everyone

For Squiggle. One of the ‘cygnets’. Not so small

I was printing off some accounts using my client accounts/tax software this morning. The margins were larger than in the past. First time I've done this in Windows 10. After a while I remembered something from years ago when I first started using the software. I had to go into Internet Explorer and change the print margins there. Works OK now.. Of course Microsoft have moved from IE to Bing. Just hope they keep IE otherwise my accounts s/w won't work.

Thanks Moonie

I should have said Edge rather than Bing

I've now sent an email to the support team at my accounts/tax software people suggesting that they need to consider changing their software so that it is not dependent on Internet Explorer.

@squiggle just two cygnets now. The other 4 must have been driven off

Thanks. I've dealt with their support people a few times over the years and they do take note of their clients' comments. Unlike that payroll outfit - they never bothered to come back to me.

I’ve just be watching a tree surgeon...no, not that that sort but the sort who makes saddle trees, the foundation for showjumping saddles

Made in Walsall, West Midlands

There’s a huge saddle in the precinct in Walsall. I’ve seen it many a time in the past

Hence the Walsall football team is nicknamed “the Saddlers”

I didn't know that, Moonie

Many years ago I had a client who was a dressage rider and is now a trainer. He's highly regarded in the world of dressage training, apparently in to the 50 trainers in the world. (Not Carl Hester who coaches Charlotte Dujardin who has won golds at the Olympics). All three are based in Gloucestershire.

I confess that watching dressage isn't exactly exciting
