Oh great- not! Am going to a 'well dressing' this w/end. Dont fancy wet & boiling at the same time!
Just had a call centre claiming to be Microsoft problem sorting. They wouldnt say who had asked for help- well wasnt me, OH at work & daughter wont have..... got cross & just cut call short.
Yes Jo its a SCAM. I've had 2 calls from them, made a few enquiries and it apparently originates in India. now I get silent calls so don't answer the phone and let it go onto ansaphone, and give genuine callers a call back, not a very satsifactory state of affairs. Friends now text me to tell me they will ring. Must get a phone that shows the number of the caller.
Microsoft calling is very definitely a scam. The idiots have called me several times. Actually I've recently installed an answerphone. I was getting so many rubbish calls, of all kinds. The most annoying thing about rubbish calls is when the phone rings while you're outside - drop everything, remove shoes, answer phone - only to find it's a rubbish call.
Spent the morning staking up a few tall plants - hollyhocks, verbena, etc, in case predicted high winds do materialise.
It's raining properly now, which is why I've come inside to look at computer.
It comes up as International-have spent many a minute winding them up-a good question is to ask then what country and town they are calling from- lots of questions throws them off their script
They seem to go in cycles- am on a quiet spell at the moment-it depends whether you have playtime
Quick gardening question I have repotted the orchid I aquired at the weekend, it is a bulb, not what I expected could this be a hardy orchid rather than the fancy ones that you get in supermarkets?
I need some quiz answers-the closing time is rapidly approaching and I spent minutes forming those questions and will never get that time back.
A true trivial fact- on the road from Farnham to Hindhead there is a sign that points to the Dyslexia Centre-that always struck me as a paradox of the top order

Very muggy here, I thought it was going to be wet today so allocated ironing but too hot to iron.

I'm having a "dyslexia" day I keep hitting the wrong key, thank goodness for the spellchecker.
Wot no cake Geoff, that's awful, you will have to make up with other goodies

Chris I am a big fan of the spellchecker not good for brain but great for fat fingers
