Yogi, did you go in to town today?

10 cms, apparently El

Hi Sweet

Fankoo muchly

Who wants to go climb a mountain to build a snowman?!

Pass

Lol me too moonie

How's your evening going?

Evening all.

I had a PB visit this evening - lots of cuddles and smiles. She giggles now, which is the cutest thing ever!

I have just spent ages backing up everything from my Ipad onto my Itunes whatsit. I hadn't backed anything up before so it took a while - and I hadn't a clue what I was doing, so that didn't help.

I recently downloaded and installed the new ios7 but for some reason the stupid Ipad won't download and install the ios7.0.2 It gets to around 90% of the download then I get a message saying it has failed. 

I didn't go to town today, as I had some paperwork to do.

What is your sewing project that didn't go as planned, Summer?

Aaaaaw yogi that's adorable!

How's your storage usage? I have heard the new operating system won't download unless there's enough free space. That could be worth checking...

I'll try to find a pic yogi

How much storage space do I need - and how do I know how much I have storage I have?

I was trying to make a lining for some baskets, similar to this...
The technique was good but it was too tight! I need to make bigger side panels

I like that and I'm sure your second attempt will be perfect.

I've deleted some apps that I don't use any more, to create more storage space, and I'll try to download the update later.

Its going well fanks Sweet Hows things with you?

Thanks yogi. I have 4 baskets, but am only doing 1 piece at a time until I've perfected it

Good idea do you have any movies on it?
I haven't downloaded ios7 yet, I really should though

No movies, just some apps, lots of books, photographs and some music.

I think I accidentally took a couple of videos, when I thought I was using the camera, so I'll go and delete them too.

Hehe brilliant! I hope it helps clear some space
Most of mine is taken up by movies, I fall asleep 10 mins in to one most nights

 I always fall asleep watching tv or a movie. I'm not able to simply go to bed, switch the light off and fall asleep - my mind always goes into overdrive.

Mr summer hates any kind of noise or light, he gets quite annoyed at my ability to just nod off

Have you got plans for tomorrow?

 It is annoying when someone can drop off really quickly, especially if you are struggling to get to sleep yourself.

Mr Yogi could sleep on the edge of a razor blade, he can sleep anywhere and at any time. However, there are times when I want to watch tv in the bedroom and he moans  asks, "Can the tv go off soon, as i'm struggling to get off to sleep". This from someone who falls asleep in the middle of the day with seventies music blaring out on the tv. I always say, "I'll switch the tv off in ten minutes and he's fast asleep in two.

 

I may clean out the fish tank tomorrow, before fish police son visits at the weekend.

Lol I like it I can just picture that scene!

I'm going to get off now. Sleep well and sweet dreams, Summer.

Moonie, if you are still around, sleep well and sweet dreams to you too.

Me too yogi, sweet dreams see you tomorrow

Leaving a goodnight hug for moonie

Hope all the buddies sleep well

Fankoo Yogi. Nite nite. You sleep well and sweet dreams too

Fankoo too Sweet. Nite nite. Sleep well and have sweet dreams

Lovely owl Sweet

Good morning everyone

 

Fairly cloudy here, a bit cooler than yesterday but the cold weather coming from the north doesn't arrive here until later today.

Summer, I hope your trip to the Grampians to build a snowman is successful

 

Yogi, I hope you've been able to do that ios7 update.

 

Good morning everyone. Weather is windy and overcast.

Summer, that's a beautiful owl pic.

El, I managed to back up everything on Itunes and download the latest update. I didn't lose any books, photos etc, so I am over the moon! Still not quite sure how I did it though.

I have a fish tank to clean out this morning.

Have a good day, everyone.

Well done, Yogi on your successful update

 

Good morning

Thanks El, I might just wait until Christmas Eve and get a ride with Santa, I'm sure he wouldn't mind dropping me off. It would save me a lot of feet ache I'm sure

Yogi well done on successfully installing ios7, you should get your memory space back now
Tell us if you get the hang of the new system alright

Well done Yogi on downloading the ios7 update and backing up everything.  I remember reading that people were having problems with the download.

 

Summer with the basket liner that is too tight just insert a small sliver of panel to ease it.  I lined a picnic basket with red gingham once and made a quilted cover all with frills, just as a project, I was very pleased with the result.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all x
Well done Yogi! Well done Summer too.
Just off to help sister pack some stuff, she moving soon. 
Weather cold and wet here 
Back later, have a good day 

Thank you squiggle, I'll try that!
I've got a few errands to run shortly but I'm ready to get the sewing box out again. I much prefer working in natural light

Good luck skylark! Moving house is such hard work *breaks out in a sweat at the thought*

We've got a chap coming tomorrow to measure & quote us for wood flooring throughout our downstairs, and they say if we want to go ahead they can do it in 3 weeks time. We'll need to move all of our furniture out, for 2-3 days!

Good luck with the packing, Skylark. Is your sister moving very soon?

 

Yikes Summer, where will you put all of your furniture?

 

Summer, if you go ahead with the flooring what will you do with the furniture? Cheapest option: back garden guarded by Bramble

Cheapish option: hire a van and store the furniture at a friend's or another family member's house

More expensive option: hire a van and put in self storage unit

Even more expensive option: get professional removal people to remove the furniture, store it for you and return the furniture once work done

Most expensive option: dump old furniture and buy new

 

 

I've been taking advantage of the relatively mild temperature by cutting my grass this morning and tidying up the hedge. I may not need to cut the grass again this year.

 

I wonder if any of you have spotted that there has been a little change to every topic page since this time yesterday?

Don't get too excited though

 

Lol El, that's a very useful list of options thank you
I think the plan is, move what we can upstairs, then put the rest in our garage/SIL's garage. BIL has a big work van we can use if need be. When we had a good look though, we don't have an awful lot of furniture, just a few heavy big pieces

It is unusually mild isn't it! El, I bet your garden looks lovely now and probably won't need another lawn cut now
