Daughter is going to the smoke for the weekend and wants to throw the key we have of hers back through the letter box tomorrow in case either of the older two GGs forget theirs. The irony is that it was the SinL who took the key back from us because he forgot his the other day! It's small wonder she doesn't want to throw Chester through the letter box as well

Hellooooooooo!

Back from a work day in London - all transport went smoothly until the local train from New Street (which I've got lost around AGAIN today!) was delayed and delayed and cancelled and suddenly reinstated... not a moment too soon as half a dozen of us on the platform were just forming a 'taxi alliance' to share back to Sutton and to split the cost.

Now, Local Pub is next to the station, and I peeped though the window as I walked past and saw they had Black Sheep on as the guest, so I slipped in for a cheeky half to revitalise me before a brisk trot through the town home.

Extended (LP) brainworm for Hazel to help her get through the never emptying intray. Enjoy..........

Perfect, BB! You been spying at (a) the in tray and (b) my record collection

She's in her nineties now and becoming less mobile, so we're treating this as her farewell tour.

Practical thinking Martin, but awwwwww, nonetheless.

They are trying to do a staggered download Bren, everyone trying to get it on the first day of release is bound to slow things down to a crawl wait a few days & it will speed up exponentially

Yep - according to what I read in the paper this morning, when you press the 'upgrade' button, MS scans your hardware for suitability and allocates your download according to demand, and your system. It apparently lets you know when it's done it's stuff (presumably pops up with a 'reboot now to complete' message).

Mornin all!
Flippin heck.....that was a cold 'un last night.
Was supposed to be 7C, think I need to go and see if we have any frost damage later

[Greenleaves]

Morning all

Sunny but cold, 5.9 in the garden! Nothing planned today but hope to see England wrap up the third test match on the box.

Happy Friday

[WendyC]

Weird day yes as plans for a day out were abandoned when we got a message to say mum was in hospital. Went to visit her, round trip of neatly 4 hours in the car mainly in the rain to find it had been a lovely day on the coast. Still she appreciated the visit and I hope she gets some quality care and some solutions as she's been poorly all year and no joined up medical thinking.

Morning the suns out now but its been as low as 7.1c overnight in my GH not good for nearly August

Hazel on the Microsoft site there's 20 pages of people who's had the same "Failed to install" message code as I've had. Thinking about it I'm in no rush my PC works fine as it is.

Wendy - hope your Mum improves.
Wet here in Ambleside, just off out with my labrador and waterproof!!!
Have a good Friday all!!!

[bearded bloke]

Perfect, BB! You been spying at (a) the in tray and (b) my record collection

my secret is out


* it's a good one to have in the car if you plan to use the greater london carpark (M25)

[SusieG]

Yup, or M6 pay and display ....
Wish us luck for tomorrow - heading off back to the sub-tropics (Midlands!?) on said car park ...(only took 4.5 hours on way up aargh!)
Can't wait to see what my toms/chillies/runner beans been up to in my abscence!!!

[Hazel at the Hill]

Thinking about it I'm in no rush my PC works fine as it is.

My feelings exactly - my only concern is if they withdraw the free upgrade and I end up paying for licences at some point in the future (like I had to pay for the licence to upgrade from XP to win7).

[veggiechicken]

Happy Fried Egg, Everyone - and its landed Sunny side up
Hope you all have a Sunshiny day too.
Its a bit of this and a bit of that day in the garden for me. See you later

You could use the toll road - it's worth the seven or eight quid just to bypass the stationary stuff. Having said that, since they've added an extra lane between J8 and J10, my trips to Wolverhampton have been much improved.

[Hazel at the Hill]

Oops - where are my manners! Morning all! It's FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDAY!

Looks like a nice day from here behind the desk, but I have the back door open and it is a bit chilly although Domino cat seems to be enjoying it, having a mooch round the courtyard.

Good afternoon folks, a wet day here central heating on and Grandsons want to play hide and seek, so told them I have some work to do on computer, still thinking on trying windows 10, are there any bad reports about it and is it and is it user friendly for the "more mature user" VC. are you finding it any advantage over windows 8
I have to go and hide now, but with my luck they will find me and I`ll have to play
