Hi David - think it is something to do with an advert the site has contracted to run at the weekends for a few weeks, which upsets it all. Dove knows more.
Btw, since you are looking in, just wanted to say I am growing half Eagle sweetpeas, and half other sorts.....the difference is staggering . Will definitely be going 100% eagle next year !
Cheers for that, Chicky....I have to change to 'basic editor' to post anything at all.
Pleased to hear your news about Eagle SPs. I'm sure you understand, I wouldn't recommend anything unless I was sure of my facts....I know the expertise & hard work done by Eagle to produce the very best.
When I'm on the netbook (ie now) which runs Lubuntu rather than Windows, no adverts appear. (I'm whispering this. Don't want anyone important to find out and change everything so I get the stupid ads!) So everything is much faster than on the shiny new laptop, which OH is glued to, and smilies etc are working ok. (Lubuntu? No idea. My tech-savvy son installed it because the netbook kept crashing.)
Sorry Topbird and Fairy, I made a Victoria sandwich not a choc cake (though I was quite tempted by the dark chocolate & ground almond cake topped with raspberries) because I remembered that one of the people who'll be eating it tomorrow is allergic to chocolate. I'll fill it with whipped cream and raspberries tomorrow, just before I go (it's got an hour and a half to travel in the cool box before we reach our destination). I'll let you know if there's any left...
Night all!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Morning all 8.25am here. Looks sunny and not windy for a change.
I suspect we'll be traipsing into town for a mid weekly cycle grocery jaunt because we've managed to get through a week and a half's supply of bread in 3 days, with extra mouths to feed.(Hubby claims he warned me it would happen) , but I think he is making it up.
That chat earlier about dentists - I was lost for a while, but eventually guessed that you were referring to that American dentist twit who shot a favourite lion in Africa a couple of days ago. I hate hearing about people shooting or killing animals unnecessarily. We even pretend not to see foxes crossing our property (which no doubt makes us unpopular with our farming neighbour's).
Because our visitors don't like watching the evening news, we've been out of the loop for a couple of days So I'm in the dark about planes crashing - curious though.
have a good day (as the shop assistants always say).
Dove, the computer is called a Mac Book Pro! We are talking about me learning how to use it, so some progress. I told him about your suggestion to take it back - he says he always gets use-me-downs and is long suffering!
Pat - OH has a Mac Book & he now prefers using the track pad to a mouse. Took him about 10 days to get used to it.
I prefer a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard. Each to his own.
I also use an iPad but find it a bit clunky to type out anything of any length.
Re dentists - yes, we were talking about the moron who killed Cecil & who deserves to be strung up by his unmentinables.
Re plane crash - a small jet crashed in Uk on Friday (?) killing all 4 on board. Turned out to be members of Osama Bin Laden's family & their pilot. Don't think there was anything suspect about it though.
Off to get the caravan ready for 2 nights away to enjoy the forecast mini heatwave - which is failing to materialise at the moment - rather grey & overcast
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down

Hope you've all had a good day.
Sending this from my phone. Keys small takes ages lol.

I was promised one by the weatherman. Is this what I pay my licence fee for.?
I've got people coming round for afternoon tea in the garden. Well all need woolly jumpers and brollies.
