  • I've just tried Wordle, I like it. Took me 5 to get it, and a while to work out what I was supposed to do, but good fun. As others have said, good job only one a day. 😅

    Thanks @chicky. I've seen the trial but that just clouded the issue more - I can't choose between about 4 or 5 ;) but I'll revisit it. A badger and a fox being 'captured' already is a great return :)

    Was yours easy to set up (I'm not very tech-savvy :D)?

    I think I need to steer clear of Wordle - sounds addictive!

    Good morning.  It's been wet here and will be wet again for several days so I'm pottering with patchwork today.  As ever, I've found a way to do the basic patch assembly for my Boro project by machine as it will become a shoulder bag and needs to be strong.

    OH has lost the cable that connects my trailcam to its solar panel and feeds the battery.   I've been waiting for months for him to do some serious hunting or buy a new one.   No real hurry tho as, despite having a large plot in the country it never captured any wildlife but I'd like to know nobody untoward is sniffing round the chooks at night.    I know there are badgers, foxes, coypu, wild boar and roe deer in the area but they don't get in here cos we have stock fence mesh along the boundary with Luc's farm, standard garden mesh fencing between us and Bruno and the road and hedging all round the paddock. 

    Stay warm and dry everyone and have some fun.

    @Biglad Mr C says very easy 😀😀😀.  However you do need an SD card reader - luckily Chicklet’s laptop has a port for one, but we are now investigating one that will link straight into our iPads
  • Ach, it's horrible out there.
    Great pic of Mr Broc there.
    We've got a trail cam at our caravan. We used to get red squirrels when we were on Anglesey, but now it's sited in the wilds of the Welsh hills, we seem to get very little - certainly no red squirrels!

    Can I ask which trailcam you've got @chicky? I'm definitely going to get one but get bogged down in the choice every time I try and make a purchase.
    Chicky, I'd like to know too please. I've been looking for a while but same as Biglad, I feel a bit bogged down by choice.

    Hello all.

    Late start today. I woke at 6am, thought "bother", went back to sleep and was woken by Son 2 on the phone at 8.30am. He was on his way to work and felt like a chat. Then a friend rang to say they'd sold their house and were moving back to England, Somerset, to be near their son. They sold their house quite quickly to a young couple from Bordeaux. It has a huge garden. Then I had a shower, then OH rang. Only just had brekkies. Must get in some more logs before the stove goes out.

    Yesterday afternoon I had to go to the Post Office so I had a wander around town. I've hardly been into the town since I moved here. It had been market day in the morning so hardly anyone was there in the afternoon. The few people there were all wearing masks. I haven't been to the market for months, avoiding it.

    There was a lovely little haberdashery, loads of fabric for patchwork and trimmings and buttons etc. Really old fashioned. I bought some curtain lining as the black out stuff I bought in the big fabric shop in the big town is too heavy for my curtain material. I'll make a separate black out curtain with it to hook on in summer if necessary, especially when Daughter 1 comes to stay as she likes her room pitch black.

    Haven't done Wordle yet.
