Morning Cat. Did you have a nice sleep? Purrrrrr. Lew Lew x

Morning everyone :-) Nice to see my raindance worked last night and some of you got some rain pmsl :-) I'm going to be spending a couple of hours in a darkened room with Hugh Jackman later so that should be fun ;-) *waves to all* Juliexx

Jood, honey, I didn't get the email. Send it again please and I'll see what I can do. LL xxx

Hi Joodles I've used Mark's on the kitchen bench while I make my coffee. It was too difficult to crawl under his desk to get to the plug....hence on battery. Now when I use it he sets it up for me in the lounge and I play while I watch TV. It annoys Graeme 'cos he can't understand how I can do both things at once heee heee. Trifley (X^x)

Lew, forwarded Lara's email on to see if you can open the wretched document. I can't Jood

Trifley muh deah! You shoulda asked your Nevvie to bring you some bottles of Sherry as well ... duh I didnt think one would use a laptop on battery unless it was absolutely necessary. .. I always plug mine in to electricity .. always. .. I hate it when they go into hibernation tho, I never know which button to press .. bloody things! Well, Im off downstairs to see what I can find to eat, probably soup and toast, and maybe some fruit. Jood

I'm baaaaack! Hi Wafflers Mark replaced the battery and now I have correct date and time. I've put 3 photos of the work in progress, with the bath, on Photos-page. We have to get some aquarium safe silicone tomorrow for the plug then the bath goes in the hole. Next job will be the rocks around it then the plants in it. It's a bit of a long job as Graeme can only work on it one day a week. Hi Joodles....I know you're getting bored but just try and rest. The scarfe sounds nice...what a lovely thought. Lew Lew...any luck with the cats? btw....you might have to get Geshtu a blanket. Wearing JUST a loin cloth and a bow tie....he might get cold, poor lamb. Vonny....STOP SCRATCHING....it'll nefer get better if you do that. Laurie....yaaayyy...we get to meet the lovely Ray. Looking forward to it. Lara....when you use your lap top is it on battery or pluged into power? (says she being very knowledgeable about batteries) Some times when I use Mark's on battery it turns it self off after about an hour to conserve power. The first time it happened I thought I'd broken the bloody thing. It goes into 'hibernation' as it says on the screen. I'll be back later. I'm expecting a visit from my nephew shortly. He's coming to pick up payment for the bath....a bottle of Wild Turkey....cheap price for a 60 year old cast iron bath lol. See you all later. ~~~~~~waves to everyone. Trifley XX

Lara, just a thought, and not that I want to read your personal mail, but if you try to send the letter to me as an attachment, I'll try to convert it to a rich text format and that may work. Lew x

Okay, Lara, right click saved file on desktop. Click on 'Rename' and whatever the (dot) extension name is, replace it with (dot) jpg. It will tell you that if you change the file extension, it will become unstable, but you just tell it okay. You should then be able to open it. I'll work on the notepad thingy for you. Good luck, Lew Lew xxx

Thats OK Lara, thought thats what might have happened, just concentrate on trying to get your puter fixed Hi ya Jood, glad to see your on the mend, you cant stay down forever anyway with this mad lot on here Vonny, know what you mean with those blasted ticks, doestn matter how spray Rob puts on his body, they always seem to latch onto him and by the time he realises he has one it has buried itself deep in and he back off to the Drs again to have it dug out, me Im pretty lucky I dont seem to get too many, Rob mainly gets then whilst mowing the grass and cleaning up See all the looneys are in fine form this weekend, Lew, Rebs Cat, and now they seem to have initiated Pam and Jill lol Laurie Poor Ray, not a very nice chore to have to do, but sometimes it has to be done Well off to get dinner ready didnt realise it was that time already Byeee Shaz Hi Sandra, just noticed you added, we have had rain here all day as well, not heavy but enough to wet everything
