  • Ah, that must be frustrating for you, Ann.

    I use the old fashioned steam desktop mainly; with Virgin’s 32mb broadband connection it’s pretty quick.

    I do have an Acer laptop that I only use when I’m out & about, that uses a Virgin 2G mobile dongle……pretty slow though.

    Thank you David, i really do love those close ups of flowers, you see so much beauty like that.

    Ann, i only ever use Chrome on the laptop, it takes ages on the tablet to load them and i dont like the photo's it takes either, quality not good. Typing is quess work as well!!

     This is a colourful border I made just using a few cheap packets of annuals.

  • Not that this will be very interesting to many, but I wanted to say that yesterday evening's camera club session was extremely interesting.

    The topic was taking panoramic pictures and I can see it may open up a whole new aspect of photography interest for me..... although I'm not sure how the results would translate to here.

    I won't bore you with the technical details, but would say that there is a package to stich the pics together and assemble them. It's called Microsoft ICE and is a free download.....even for me who had never heard of it, found it very easy to use.

    180 degree shots are very impressive.

  • thats a good link David, did you know you can do that with your camera i had a little play the other evening i am hoping to do a complete rainbow with a lot more practice, that flower bed is impressive when you say cheap annuals did you mean seeds or plugs

  • Hi, Ann.....yes, I've done this with my camera, but it doesn't offer anything like the same scope......and *the software is free & quite easy to understand. As I see it, printing would be my problem, I would probably send it to a CD & have it printed for me.

    No, not plugs (perish the thought) as I said 'just cheap packets of annuals.'

    *Not sure if there is a Mac version.

     These are a few of the Asters in the border of annuals  posted earlier and I would add that there were a few geraniums that I did grow from plugs.

    Btw, I bought the seed cheap from Wyevale in their end of season sale the previous year.

  • My take on today
