As Moonie mentioned, Cheltenham Town won their away leg, home leg is on Monday evening. Final is on the 29th at Wembley.

 

I hope everyone has a good day

Hi El 

I listened to it on the radio 

Good luck for the second leg 

Good morning everyone  
Looking like another wet day here 

So not much doing for me outside again 

Have a great day everyone but as always, stay safe

It’s due between 9 am and 12 o’clock today El 

Setting it up will be my problem though

That's good news, Moonie

I know what you mean by setting it up as televisions are a lot more complicated than they used to be It could be helpful for you if you can find a Youtube clip on setting up the model you are getting.

Thanks El 

I think I will leave it to my nephew on Monday. I have been without a tv for a while so another two days won’t make much difference

It looks like a huge face with a big mouth in the middle to me El 

The colours are stunning though

It was because of the extraordinary picture that I posted it. Looked like a gigantic loaf of crusty bread with the filling across the middle going rotten

That’s beautiful!!!! wow we really are part of a magical cosmos

Here's a link to the eROSITA webpage with more information about that X-Rays picture of the universe:

The second picture there is a map of the main picture which will mean more to people interested in astronomy.

Tried ringing HMRC on behalf of a client and gave up, Writing to them instead.

the actor Ian Holm has died, he was 88,
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ent...inment-arts-53110391

Stage, film and television.

For some reason, he's an actor I feel as if I've always known him though I don't know why. I do know that when I was young, one of the junior school outings I had was to see a play at Stratford upon Avon. That would have been a Shakespeare one and the only play we could have seen would be "A Midsummer Night's Dream". And it turns out that he was Puck in a production there. So it might be why.

Moonie, HMRC opening times for phone calls have been reduced due to the lockdown and many of their staff are working from home. As a result, trying to get through to them by phone is near impossible.

It's just trying to get a client's tax code for the current tax year amended.  A client could do this via their personal tax account online but this client would be petrified of setting up one and using it. Agents like myself are not permitted to access clients' personal tax accounts, they can only use their agent's log in to look at clients tax position but that system doesn't cater for agents changing clients tax codes, just looking at them.  There is an online system for agents to change clients tax codes but it requres the agent to provide full details of expected employment, pension income and all other income for the current tax year so takes considerably more work than just writing a letter.

Good morning everyone it's a little cloudy this morning but the sky looks bright so we may get some sunshine later. 

Moonie TV's nowadays can often be 'plug 'n play'. Mine was when my last TV went wrong.  I just plugged it in and it found all the channels by itself. Good luck!

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Some sunshine here, could get sone showers.Forecast to be wet tomorrow morning but then turning warm and settled for a few days.

I think it's a case of working out where to put plugs in the television and the other boxes in the chain. Once that's done and the television is switched on, as Squiggle says, the set up processs does tend to be mostly automatic.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning all 

A sunny day with gentle breeze.

Hope you are all well and staying safe.

Good morning everyone it's quite a bright morning. Well done Moonie!

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Some rain overnight but now sunny and looks as if it's a settled week ahead and getting very warm for a few days.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone   

Rain overnight here too El but the sun is breaking through now 

We are set to reach 28° in the week 

Squiggle, fankoo 

Have a great day, all but stay safe  

Moonie, Met Office forecast also has 28° here for Wednesday and Thursday.
BBC forecast 26° Tuesday, 30° Wednesday, 29° Thursday, 27° Friday.
Another site is showing the warmest days as 27° Wednesday and Thursday.
And another site has the warmest day as Thursday at just 25°.

So a bit variable other than it's going to be getting warmer
