Good afternoon/evening all.
I seem to have been busy all day but have little to show for it, and I couldn't exactly tell you what it is I've been doing - just stuff!
Anyway hope everyone is having a good Friday and is looking forward to the weekend.

No stills with the Ring camera. It’s marketed as a security camera and does video only. The cool bit is the notification when it detects movement and being able to watch live on your phone or tablet. We didn’t watch much tv last night! ?

The other cool thing is being able to share the videos without having to upload to YouTube. Here’s a link to one of them https://ring.com/share/325bbe84-570f-4402-80a1-b5f6416a0642

The animals filmed were hedgehogs of course ?

To get stills, you need a trail camera. They vary in quality and battery consumption.
I like the Ring, I have the doorbell and 3 security lights/ cameras. I also like the alerts you receive from other neighbors posting break ins etc. Also put a picture of Opo and my contact info on the message board. When I lost Opo once. In a 1/2 hr I was notified where he was. They also have a Echo monitor you can set up to view and communicate with whoever is at your door. If you have VPN security on your internet. You should be safe from hacking.

Although it's been dry again here it's been really cold today. Spring has been teasing us!
Lola has been quite active in and out of his hide and had a good long soak, but he seems to have lost his appetite the last couple of days, he's still eating, but not as much as usual.
I'll be keeping an eye on that.?

I keep getting 520 errors this afternoon. :( The site crashes.

I have an adblocker so that deals with pop ups thank goodness. They’d be dreadful on an iPad and even worse on a phone I imagine.
They're not that bad on my phone and today I saw one in it's proper place between posts with an ad then the TFO ad with an x. I figure they are somewhat figuring it out ?.

As you all know, I'm quite old. My memory is bad. I'm watching 'The Closer,' 'Major Crimes,' and 'Rizzoli and Isles' and it's like I'm seeing them for the first time.

So yesterday after I had done all my morning chores I got ready to go do my usual Friday errands - Post Office for mail, grocery shopping, maybe gas station, if needed. And I'm expecting out of town company for the week end, so extra things to eat.

My guest hadn't arrived by the time I was ready for bed so I opened the gate, left the door unlocked and went to bed.

This morning I emailed my guest wondering why they didn't come, were they in a car crash? And their response was that unless there's something wrong with their calendar, they are scheduled to arrive tonight!

It was Friday all day yesterday. When one is retired, and only watches re-runs on TV, there's nothing going on to remind one what day it is.

I'm going to have to pay closer attention when my computer first boots up, when it tells me the time and day!

Good mornooning all. We have sunshine. My day includes a trip to the tip with a load of recycling of the kind that doesn't get picked up with the kerbside collection... and a “no symptoms covid test”

In this area they ask people who don’t have symptoms to get tested voluntarily on a regular basis to help minimise the spread of the disease by those who have covid and don’t know it.

I go roughly once a fortnight when I get an email reminding me to do so ?
Yes. There was a period of days when I didn't know I was getting sick with covid-19. I was having symptoms like I always have only slightly more so. What was really interesting though, nobody that visited got it except my brother Joe and another brother that visits almost daily. Neither of them got it as bad as me. It only took them 2 or 3 days to feel better. The three of us did test positive. I think a lot of people, if they get a mild case, don't know they have it.

Do you get to watch Matlock and Monk too ?? I love that station. And the Closer is the bomb.

Sounds like what Opo was doing a few weeks back during the weather change. I think the weather change had more to do with it than the worms.
