Ah, got you now El

Good evening all

Still freezing cold and had a couple of snow flurries today, to add to the snow that’s still lying.

Oh no El, I’m sorry the computer is playing up again.

Housework, washing, drying and cooking....then reading

Hope you’ve all had a good day.

Hi Yogi

We’re going down to zero overnight but with a feel like temperature of -5. The good news is it should be our last days/nights of sub-zero temperatures for the next week or so, at least

Reading is definitely the best part of that

My day has been good. I trust yours has too

We could do with some milder weather

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros

Fankoo and I’m pleased your day was a fine one

Night night, sleep well, sweet dreams Rosss, Yogi and night callers

Good morning everyone it's extremely windy here and set to stay like that all day.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Very cloudy here and rain forecast for later. Not as cold as recently.

Thanks Yogi re my computer. I have little doubt that the main hard drive has failed so will need to be replaced.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone

Cloudy and cold here. Weather forecast is for sleet changing to heavy rain by lunchtime

The rest of the week is set to be warmer but wetter. Still, it’s better than cold and snow

El, I hope you get that new hard drive soon

I hope everyone has a good day

Hi and bye tonight

We had some rain this afternoon so most of the snow has gone.

Did your rain arrive, Moonie?

El, I hope you can get a new hard drive for your computer

Noite all   

Good morning everyone it's supposed to be a dry day and much milder than it has been.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Very overcast here, rain seems to have stopped, a lot milder than recently.

I'll try to contact my computer people later to see what they are able to do.

I hope everyone has a good day

Taken my computer in to my computer people. They will see if they can sort it out. It would involve changing the worn out D drive with a smaller SSD drive, may be able to put in an extra one to keep the present capacity. Move from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and a clean reinstall so I would need to reinstall the programs I use.

The big question is due to that Windows 10 officially need at least 4th generation processors and mine is 3rd. So it may not work. The man I spoke with that it's fine for some pcs, but not others such as Dell. Mine is an Asus.

I have seen online people who have migrated from Windows 7 to 10 on my type of computer - they did have problems but those seem to have been sorted via a clean reinstall.

It's against policy for them to try to stay with Windows 7 as support ended some time ago. Windows 8 is to horrible to consider that.

Snap El. Asus Windows 7.

Fingers and everything else crossed   

Good morning everyone

Overcast here but dry. Much milder than yesterday

The weather forecast here is for sunny intervals changing to cloudy by early evening with a high of 11 degrees

I hope they can sort you computer El

It may be worth considering a new one

I have an Asus laptop but I know that would be of little use to you.

Have a lovely day everyone. I hope the sun shining on you like it is on me here

Thanks Velvet ,really appreciated

Moonie, we posted at the same time

Thanks as well

It may be that I have to get a new computer but it won't be easy due to the lockdown and there's a world wide shortage of  chips (microprocessor ones, not potato).

Curry's do them. Not all are next day delivery though.

I've already thought of that.

Good afternoon how are you all?
I’m glad to hear that Moonie has sunshine we’ve had a foggy start but it’s just grey, cold and damp now. I’m grateful that my freezer is full of home cooked food.

El, I feel frustrated for you! I hope your computer issues are resolved real soon

A station has re-opened at Bow Street after 56 years.
Bow Street in Wales, not the one in London

Station reopening at Bow Street

I wonder if a station will ever be reopened at Adelstrop (the well known poem by Edward Thomas of that name)

They do. It's a bit different for me as I've been using my computer people for tech support, and a/v. So get a more personal service than I would elsewhere.

Hi Sweet

Yes, we had sunshine earlier. Now it’s occasional sunshine and we just had a light shower. A light breeze has got up too.The  wind direction has changed to opposite of what it was yesterday

I hope you and Miss Bramble are keeping well 🐕 🐾🐾

Good idea Velvet

Mercedes recalling over a million vehicles in the States due to a fault in the emergency call out feature which can result in the emergency vehicle(s) being misdirected. Thought to affect their vehicles which have the same feature in other countries. In the UK Mercedes won't give any further details until an official fix is announced.

Mercedes aren't the cars they used to be. They're mass manufacturers alongside Ford.

I can remember a 300SEL 3.5 and a 250 SL manual.

Those were the days. Niche.

I know what you mean

A long time ago (certainly over 30 years) I worked with someone who had put his name down for a Morgan.

He would have got it after he left the firm. At that time, the waiting list was around10 years. 220 cars made a year by hand.

BMW power now. I loikes them    

I'll always be an Alfaholic though. Bristol.

They turn out some serious cars.

Yes, at Malvern. We had a client who was based in Malvern. It wouldn't surprise me if the man who ordered a Morgan had popped in there whilst working at the client

Trivia of the day. The name Romeo originated from an Italian word meaning someone making a pilgrimage to Rome.
