Words cannot describe how I hate this macbook whatever it is.....Jill had written quite a bit this evening...added a photo of herself swimming (!!) and then gone to bed saying "I've left it for you to finish off and post". That all sounded fine...until I pushed a button and the photo disappeared....then in my efforts to retrieve the photo I have managed to lose the whole bloomin' thing....boy, am I in trouble.
If there wasn't the chance of an elderly or female reader looking at this I would, at this stage, become very unparliamentary.....I find myself at 22:32...tired...ready for bed....with a lost blog....and a wife (currently asleep) that is going to be pretty unhappy when I tell her tomorrow what happened after she went to bed.
The only good news is that I have found the photo...but I've got no idea how to get it into this post...am going to find eldest son .... he will be able to get the photo on this page in 3 seconds flat.
so, I've (he's) got it on the screen, and saved....relief...but now for some reason the writing is all "centralized"....and I now need to go off and get that fixed.
So, that's done....and now I finally find that the coffee I made before starting all this has gone cold... and I don't dare make another because we're on our last pint of milk....and more coffee making will result in not enough milk for breakfast.... and I thought everything was going so well this evening.
Before I forget...the photo above is of PdlH lifeguarding Jill as she swam at Bel Val today.....as we all suspected, our wonderful consultant only had to whisper the word "swim" and Jill was down there...costume on....wading in for the first time in a good few weeks....I know she was over the moon to "get back in"...and it can't have done her any harm at all....especially with P overseeing. P and C are on holiday tomorrow....so no doubt another friend will be telephoned and requested to "observe"...hopefully a suitable lifeguard will be located....we can't have Jilly becoming another statistic for the Lifeboat, and how embarrassing would it be for Daniel to find that he got called out on said Lifeboat to rescue his own Mother.....let's not go there.
What else can I report tonight? I can't say that it's clear to me exactly what happened today....I've had a full day in the States...gone at 07:30 and back at 18:50. I know Jill was picked up (with dog) and a Grouville Beach walk happened...I know that Jilly walked to meet Bex off the bus after Bex had finished work....I know she had a couple of rests .....and I also know that said dog had a second short walk this afternoon. Finally, I can report that Jill and I discussed the nights drawing in, and how grumpy the dog looked when she (the dog that is) realised she wasn't going out in the meadow after supper....to be fair, Jill was also pretty grumpy about not going in the meadow as well! Truth be told, we're all a bit sad that there is so little daylight left after 19:30 now... we have spent so much time this summer "out and about" after our evening meal that we really miss it....ho hum...roll on the week end.
I think that will just about do....it's now 23:05....tomorrow our reader can look forward to me being pilloried (??? is that a word??...well, I know it is, i'm just not sure of the spelling...and this bloomin' macbook thing doesn't have a spell check...well, not one that i know about) ....ridiculed then....on this blog by my wife.....maybe she'll have today's "official" news to relay again for a second time.
Stay tuned for more "husband created computer disasters" soon......
You are doing a grand job Steve ! ! X x
