    DL - I have really looked after my teeth since that lot were done so no new fillings for decades but 2 crowns where a vicious peanut hiding in a broccoli salad shattered 2 molars.  Some going!   I only went to this dentist because I was starting to get little leccy type shocks and thought I had a hole.  One upper tooth left to do in a month's time.

    Hosta - really, a hot bath and some oil of eucalyptus and/or menthol in the water for steaming purposes.   Should work wonders.

    Dacha ... if it's the rumour that he's died, that's old fake news ... it was an idiot hoax on Wikipedia back in early February.

    Tractor servicing people are coming to collect it on the 28th, finally got hold of them. Dishwasher has come, almost the same as the old one.

    Does anyone know how to make Google Chrome the default Browser? Been trying to do it for ages, no luck despite Nora's link. Surely it can't be that hard.

    BL, I think you said in the other thread that a box came up for 'Set as default' and you ticked it. That should  do it. You do know it doesn't need to be your default browser in order for you to use it, though?

    Wel it didn't warm up all that much, but the sun came out earlier than forecast so the last of the snow has melted. I am very pleased with myself as I repotted (in the same pot, but with all new compost) a plant that has been utterly neglected for a few years. I'd stopped seeing it, it's still growing but I think it'll be much happier now. Also retrieved some irises and a waterlily from the big bucket they've been in since last year when my brother passed them on to me. I thought the lily was long gone but no, there was some growth so I've got them all into pond baskets and popped them in. They're not in their final positions but they'll do for now. AND, inspired by Dove, I got the year's first load of washing dry outside. A good day :).

    I have Windows 10. Nora's instructions didn't work.

    LG I have chrome as a browser on my task bar, it's not the default. Nora said I should make Chrome my default browser for this site to work properly. Do you mean I should open this site using Chrome, then pin that to the task bar, instead of the one I pinned that came from Internet Explorer? On OH's Laptop in our Norfolk cottage if you use Chrome then nothing will pin to the task bar. Maybe it will on this Laptop. Off to try it.

    No, that won't do. A message came up to say the site wasn't secure as Chrome isn't my default browser.

    The power of spring plants to recover from harsh weather is always a pleasure to see.
