Yawn Yawn, wakey wakey !! 2015 mk 2

Good morning @Beckie76 my friend nothing wrong in being a control freak or well organised I should know

 

@Beckie76 I think they will release something better after their Tuesday meeting. If not then it will be time to get pushy. Tell them that the only time you can get away is the time that you booked with them and, for you, that was one of the major reasons for booking what you did.

 

Good morning all my friends on this bonus of a Friday morning,have a good and enjoyable day

 

Aloha Woo and everyone,

I'm pleased that I got a lot of mowing done yesterday afternoon. The grass was long, the thickest it has been all year but cut quite easily because the wind had dried it out. We've now had rain all night.

I've only done a basic repair on the big bird feeder (others all fixed now). I've found enough new perches to fix it but I can't take the broken ones out yet. If I did then the feed will pour out of it and there's too much for me to want the bother of getting a container for it (3ft high and 4" diameter). In there will be a few nuts and bolts from the broken parts and I shall need them. I'll wait until the birds have eaten all the seed and then retrieve the bits and fix it. I'll take it apart and give it a good clean, which usually takes about an hour.

I've been very remiss with regard to getting my paperwork done and still have to plough my way through bank statements, credit card statements, ongoing discussions with the taxman, committee reports to make, sorting out a grant for the village hall (just got the approval for that and have to schedule the work) etc.

According to Mrs Shiney I've been playing too much bridge (that's an oxymoron as far as I'm concerned ). I've got a league match all afternoon that should then give me time to get a bite of supper and off to the bridge club until 11.30

Have any of you noticed that the display of smilies has become smaller in size but not in quantity. Each one is smaller and there are two more per line.

EDIT: I have solved the problem. Somehow the 'Font Size' setting had changed on my IE. I keep it at 125% so I guess that the last update changed it back to 100%. Apart from being much easier to read when set at 125% the GC screen fits my whole screen with no borders.

Keep well and have a great day

Aloha!

 

Good morning @shiney my friend ,I had to look that word up and have now discovered a new word,thanks for that,I thought it meant moronic oxen but all is clear now,enjoy your day my friend

 

You're most welcome @wiseowl

I don't have digestive problems nowadays but I did when I swallowed the dictionary.

 

Aloha everyone,

It's two o'clock and all's well!



I've just popped out in the garden to rearrange the bird feeder (big feeder hung on the lowest setting) as the wind is getting up and roaring round the house.

 

Good morning @shiney and all my other friends ,the wind woke me up but it has subsided now,I threw a packet of Rennies out sideeveryone have a lovely Saturday and take care

 

Aloha everyone,

@wiseowl the Rennies didn't work - or you didn't throw them far enough.

I'm going to try out a new recipe today but I'll need to top up my spices and get some fresh coconut first. Spices - easy, coconut - not sure . Already got plenty of turmeric, paprika, tamarind, chillies, coriander seed, cinnamon sticks, black peppercorns, cumin seed, fennel seed, cloves and garlic but need more nutmeg, star anise and poppy seeds. It's supposed to have fresh coconut but I may have to compromise.

Keep well and have a great day

Aloha!

 

Good morning @shiney I did but the wind blew them back

 

Don't you hate it when that happens?

 

Great minds think a like
