ENT last week showed fluid behind the left eardrum so it won’t work properly I have to wash my nose out twice a day and use steroid drops twice a day,have to go back in 4 months if it isn’t any better then they will consider putting a grommit in.

Going to see Alfie Boe and Michael Ball Friday evening and out for a meal with my daughter. Mig

Evening peoples

Joan and Sue nice to see you both back with us hope all is ok with you both and the doggies. Yesterday it was 3 years since we had to let our dog Snowie be put to rest due to ill health.

Barbara hope the test was ok today I think Aidan would have been highly delighted with our own little section. Might have been a bit confused 🤔🤔 at the start same as I was but he would have got used to it I’m sure.

Hi Mig nice to see you back again hope you enjoy Alfie Boe and also meal with your daughter.

Hi Toni good to see you back in ok. It all looks rather different not we will get used to it. Hope you are all ok.

We were supposed to have sleet or snow here today but we had nothing it is chilly and windy 💨 but otherwise ok. So I was able to get to the local MS group with my cards I haven’t been able to get there for the last 2 sessions due to the weather and then the arthritis flare up I had so it was good to go today.

Talking of the cards which are cards sold for charity, if you have ordered from my website before I will be sending you a new 2020 catalogue in the next couple of days . If you have not not ordered before and think you might be interested take a look at this website www.flamingopaperie.co.uk/web/carolreespartrige where you can see all the current rang. Also you can also order on there too if you wish. They are beautiful cards of good quality and at £2.00 each, very good value. All unique designs to flamingo not found in shops.

Ok so I think it it is time I moved around a bit. So

Love and sparkles to you all

Right in on my lap top for the first time..... where are our emojies????  anyone found them?

 [img]https://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/a050.gif[/img]

wonder if that works too and if we can post more than 3.  Mind you for some reason I could only ever post 2!

Numpty!

Not sure what I did there trying to suss highlighting..... easily confused I am. BUT it's great to see you it's been too long far too long.

Mig -you enjoy that evening out with your daughter I remember you've seen Alfie before I think?

Joan and Sue!  Hello!  Both in and on phones too.  I think we can save this page now to our favourites and get in that way🤔

Hi Carol yes it must be time for your card catalogue to come out. Sold well at the MS club then I expect.  I bet the were worried about you :(

This draft saving slows you down doesn't it?  A bit much for a mild technophobe like me, but I'll soon suss it!

It's ok here atm no snow just ice.

Lunch with Mr T today and a coffee with your friend maybe???

Nope this draft saving is INFURIATING!!!  I am typing away and not realising nothing is there because it's UPDATING every 10 seconds GRRRRRR!!

THAT is not a positive addition at all. Wonder if I can learn how to turn it off???

Barbara (again saving) how are you?  and Niamh?  Over that nasty cold virus?

I was worried about coronavirus at the airport and on the plane (draft again) have been largely out of touch being away, but really looks rather scary especially for (again with the draft saving...is it when I stop typing??) travelling??

How is your bro doing still ok and when is his next check-up due (draft saving AGAIN can it be me??)

Kath - where are you? Are you recipes in Aidan's afters?  Shall I post my cake in this bit or in there I wonder?

How is Anita doing?  I hope she and  her OH are coping ok so far.  Is it today you ring your Dad - no I think it's Sunday🤔

Holly too.  Gosh I feel out of touch mind you as much as anything that's being away🙄

Well I'll get back in later in between unpacking/washing/ironing etc

At last, I've been struggling to get to this page. First I got to posts from 100 years ago (exaggerating again) then I got to the most recent post but had no comment box. Now, how do I move my posts Starting Annew into here? I appear to have started a new thread. 😏

Loving the new Emojis, and it's so easy to add a picture. Brilliant. Aidan's Afters is fantastic, but can we only post cakes or puddings?

My sis is OK, she will be having a lumpectomy (there are 4 of them, followed by radiotherapy. They've told her she won't need chemo. I'm getting short of poems, and don't really feel like writing any more which is why I used Jabberwocky in the other thread. Iy's so easy to put recipes in here. I used to have to download the picture, resize it, then stick it in the box. Then copy and paste the recipe etc into the posting box. Now I just have to copy and paste the text and the pic comes with it. Quite addictive.

Our happy, busy, bustling cafe. Wot, no animals. 😯

BTW my iPads are so old, I can't get here on it.

barbara12

Can someone help me post my own pics the links are not working...xx

Kitty

Which links Barbara?

YvonneH

Hi there,

I think that when you click on the cafe it goes to the top of the last page, I’ll check it in a moment. So if you think the page length is too long to be scrolling up and down you can let us know and we can reduce it by 5 posts.

Pictures are

from internet, find picture, right click, copy picture (not link), return to the VA community, start comment, when ready right click and paste.

from laptop, click on the picture symbol below, browse to find picture, click on it then open

Have a practise xx

YvonneH

Having said all that, I’m now going straight to the last post every time! Let me know if you still don’t get to the last post and I’ll try again

xx

barbara12

Thankyou Yvonne..I mean how do I post photos..I used to use the link from google photos but it doesn't seem to work..x

when you go into the leave a comment box at the bottom and on the left hand side you will see little box with what looks like mountains in , it will then bring up another box which gives you three choices take a picture, photo library, and browse. Click on the photo library and all your pictures will come up just click the one you want then done at the top and it should appear in the comments. Then you can just post you can also alter the size but I have not worked that out yet 😀😀Hope this helps.
