If there's one thing I need to rely on and that is my computer, resplendent with two screens. I need two screens because I transferred data from one database to another and I can't bear or should I say find it difficult to have two screens on one. You can either have side-by-side versions or top and bottom. Either is a severe compromise. I asked my techie friend to install Windows 10. I have...
This morning it was raining so I decided to cheer myself up by going along to Wetherspoon's to see how they were weathering (no pun intended) the unceasing change in these ridiculous times. I entered. There was no one at the desk but I filled in my contact details anyway and took a menu as invited (the coronavirus loves hanging around on menus).

Today I viewed some streaming from Bath Abbey. So the virus is very clever. It keeps away from the choir when they are singing but will attack the congregation if they sing.

I decided to go walkaround the local streets and what do I see but a drain cleaning wagon. I love these. I love seeing...
Although many people are now used to the ZOOM technology, a number are not and we had 18 of the 56 allotment holders gathered together this evening for our first ever virtual AGM. Most of the conversation was quite ordinary but important because people like to meet others in a social setting and I think people are missing this at the moment. We asked everyone how well their vegetables grew and...
