Curmudgeon' s Corner. I blame it on the heat.

    @plant pauper That doesn't sound vety curmudgeonly! There are occasional outbreaks of tolerance and niceness on here - are you having a moment?

    The washing machine is back in action for the price of 2 brushes, priority postage, one small laundrette bill and a celebratory icecream. The temperature outside is hot but not as hot as everywhere else by the sounds of it. Nothing locally is on fire. I'm not afflicted with the privacy notice. It's all a bit disconcerting. I'll find something to be grumpy about soon I'm sure. :)
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I’m growling here now, yet another thread I would like to take part in spoilt by over large photos,  overloaded and had to wait while it reloaded again,   doesn’t seem much point in looking at any threads with photos. 

    I meant to ask @Lyn, is it Jaqueline's on growing your own plants?  It's one I'd find interesting too but keeps crashing when I try to look 😞.
    Yes, that’s the one, I managed to post yesterday but can’t get in there today.
    mind you, its not the only thread, happens everyday, why people have to post such huge photos, I suppose they’ve got super fast broadband so it doesn’t matter. We will never get that!

    I just wanted to thank you all for your kind messages. My dad passed away yesterday after a sudden and very short illness. Your wit helped enormously and gave some 'laugh out loud' moments in the midst of it all. He had a very good run and died peacefully, without pain, with all his faculties and independence at 84, in the arms of those who loved him. What more could you ask?

    I'm very sorry for your loss @Fire . I lost my dad six years ago last Friday and I still miss him every day. x

    At the risk of sounding non-curmudgeonly, some of us are more tech-savvy than others.  I, for one, have no idea what size the photos are that I post on here.  I just point the camera and press the shutter, and they come out whatever size they come out.  If they're too big, I apologise, I don't do it on purpose to annoy anyone.

    My son-in-law's baler caught on fire yesterday but luckily he managed to get out of the field before the rest of the straw caught. The fire brigade came quickly and put it out and the tractor was fine. Three cheers for the fire fighters.
    @LG_   :D
    Me too @josusa47 . Haven't a clue. They come out on the site the size of a blanket but I don't think they're big in computer-speak terms.

    So sorry to hear about your dad, Fire.

    In London. Keen but lazy.
