      I haven't got a random picture.
      Maybe your ipad is haunted? :thud:

        Yes, it just pulls up random photos from posted threads. :noidea:

        @Obelix-Vendée the nearest equivalent to 'commiserations' is the friendly 'heart'. It's quite a good substitute.

          Ah @ViewAhead :) I’m mostly on my iPhone … so thankfully I don’t gt too much extraneous ‘stuff’ on a smaller screen. That explains it. :blue thumb:

            If you REALLY want to see it, put your phone in desktop mode and view in landscape

              Yes, I’ve seen that now you’ve brought it to my attention @ViewAhead. It says random photo, and the one I can see is from 2015. I don’t know if it will change, I’ll keep my eyes open. :)

                  The random photos seem to come from albums in the gallery @ViewAhead.

                    If you hover over all the little icons, either at the bottom right of the post or the smilies it will tell you what each one is.

                      Hello everyone. Lovely hot day here today. They keep promising rain, but it doesn’t happen.

                      best wishes to all.

                        Good morning everyone. We'll shortly be drawing this thread to a close as it seems the members from GW forum are now suitably 'One of Us' and this thread has served it's purpose. It won't be deleted, simply closed so the wider forum is best utilised :dbgrtmb:
                        You're all very welcome here, now if you'd like to make your way through that little red door over there and drink the appropriate potion we can carry on gardening :heehee:

                          Thank you @Loofah and all of the lovely GC Admin for all your help and making us feel so welcome. It’s transformed what could’ve been a sad, even traumatic time … much gratitude is due :love30::wub2:

                            I will be grateful GW folk have transported themselves here because I had grown very fond of them and would have felt upset if they'd gone, vanished for good into the ether. Being here has also encouraged me to post on the wonderful GC more regularly than I did. Now whether that's a good thing or not for everyone, I really couldn't say for sure...:biggrin:
                            ps the thumbs up smiley will always to me look like someone is holding a knife and fork, waiting for their dinner.
                            pps Will someone please post a final comment before this thread closes as I feel it ought not be me to finish things off.
                            :dancy:
