I hardly ever get near a PC these days. I operate from my phone mostly

I only use my phone but I never downloaded a app for TFO. Am I going to be affected by this?

 

[Ray--Opo]

Oh dear. Everything okay now? Or are you in the middle of it?

It keeps slowing down. First they thought sat or sun. Now they say it is changing direction. If it stays offshore that will be great. Some of the forecasts show it skirting land right where we are. Should get better idea in the next few days.

 

[Yvonne G]

Wow!!! I’m glad you avoided disaster and found the problem..

Do you have a school nearby that you can speak to about community service hours? Maybe they will send some kids for free!!!

I would love that, but it involves going up on the roof with a telescoping handle brush and I'd be afraid for a kid's safety.

Good Friday All,

So we are putting the torts out for the day as it is going to be sunny, and Jarrod says to me that we have 1 boy and two girls, so I ask him how does he know. To which he replies that Harry is flashing. So I get all excited and a bit panicy (after what happened with Kang) and I take a pic to share with you guys. Then I look at it again and think it looks funny, so I touch it quickly and it moves.. It turned out it was just a small slug which had taken up residence. Phew the panic was over for now.

If that's a comparison to the real thing. I hope Opo is a female.

Hey @Yvonne this is my pressure tank leaking. Had to install a new one today.

Sports for anniversary

Luton were promoted to the Championship - the second tier of England Football (soccer) - last season and this is the first match JoesDad has had the opportunity to see this season.

I married him and gained a tortoise and a football team too [emoji1]

As for the in-laws... when I pointed out precisely how underwhelmed I was having found it on the calendar a couple of weeks ago he did offer to cancel it. He knows he screwed up not talking the reasoning through in advance... it does actually make sense, just not to spring it on me. But there’s a reason we have been together for so long

 

[JoesMum]

There were tvs then?? Hahaha

When my Daughter was about 5 she said to me “Mummy, everything was Black and White when you were 5”

My response “Only the television. Only the television “ [emoji23]

Here in the US it's only free to learn something at a public library or through scholarships. Possibly grants. When young people graduate with most types of degrees, they are in debt up to their eyeballs. To my way of thinking that's a public disgrace.

The debt incurred by university students here is less than in the US, but still eye-watering

Tuition fees of £9000 a year and then a loan for cost of living on top

My parents had their 25th a few months ago. My grandparents are on there 60th and they got a letter from the queen

Congratulations to both. The in-laws have their 60th coming up. We need to contact the palace for their recognition too

It’s all arranged online now #ModernMonarchy

My new solar inverter was installed today. The repair guy wasn't satisfied with the amount of electricity the system was generating so he went up on the roof to take a look. He noticed a wire under one panel hanging down a bit lower than normal so he disconnected the panel and turned it over. He took a picture to show me. Most of the underside of the panel was splashed with black carbon from electrical arcing! I'm SO lucky the roof didn't catch fire!

So I'm back in the generating my own electricity business. Now I just need to find someone willing to clean the panels at a reasonable price

I am so glad it’s all fixed now.

 

[JoesMum]

Good mornooning all. It’s sunny, but there’s an autumnal chill to the air this morning. It’s actually really nice after the oppressive heat a few days ago. We are enjoying a relaxing breakfast in the conservatory while watching the birds on our feeders.

It is easy I think, you just need to send a copy of some sort of wedding certificate

Back on spider duty this morning. Caught a big house spider.

 

[Chubbs the tegu]

Happy Anniversary.

We had our public holiday weekend last weekend.

JoesDad and I will be celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary this weekend.

We’re going to see Luton Town FC (JoesDad’s team) v Huddersfield Town FC tomorrow and on Sunday, the anniversary day, we’re visiting my in-laws (who are....um... “challenging”)

I know! So romantic! [emoji23]

 

[CarolM]

Ahhh. Okay then they are so bad.

The 60s movies weren't so grafic. They were dinosaurs, Frankenstein, mummies, and that kind of stuff. I wasn't allowed to watch tv until I was about 12. That would be movies on tv around 1965. A lot of them were more funny then scary...that was the leave it to beaver era.
