This involves clearing all the Christmas stuff off the bed first , and clearing the washing and ironing away. It can go in ...

I didn’t know that Stanley

Morning Its a clear dark morning. This morning we shall go to the plant man who used to be on Bacup market but now has a permanent site in one of the public gardens there. It seems an odd time of year to visit but our friend Kath gave us a £25 voucher to shop there. She had one it in a raffle and it...

Morning There is a scarlet sky brewing under the dawn grey, normally a sign of rain which is forecast all day. However last week it was followed by a beautiful sunny day! This morning Bob and I are at the hairdressers, then I will collect my newly sharpened scissors from the firm I took them to, £28...

Morning My goodness its dark out there but it may have stopped raining after what was a very wet day yesterday, Today we have a dental appointment at 10.00 and Bob will be at the park this afternoon . I have pilates and Yoga at the studio this evening with the lovely Paula who really works you hard....

Yes I did a similar search Gloria , it was good advice and so easy to do.

Morning It was very wet and despite being 9 degrees it was also very cold yesterday, but Bob said they still gave 163 rides on the Santa special. Today is a similar forecast of 100 % chance of quite heavy rain. I shall be at Haslingden for French conversation this morning, the last one until January...

Yes so wi have just discovered….i like my iphone more each day, as well as it doing wonderful things I never even thought about it shows me what my ipad will do too

Done it, brilliant. Just watched Stanley’s video on one guy, through iPad, on tv. Also watched some of our hol videos on tv from iPhone. I’m feeling very smug. Gloria I have just done it on my ipad . I went into Control centre from settings, select customise control centre. Swipe down from top righ...

I've just managed to do it for the first time ever! I have Windows 11 but there must be a similar process for other operating systems. Switch on both devices, make sure they are connected to your WiFi. On your laptop go to 'display settings' then 'Multiple displays' then 'connect to a wireless disp...

I await an answer with anticipation

I have a question, Bob and I bought a Smart TV in the Christmas sales a few years ago and we have never used it to its maximum. Does anyone on the site have one and use it connected so that they can view whats on their laptops through the TV. I googled it and found I probably need an app . When I lo...

Morning Its really dark this morning, and sadly due to rain all day. Today is Santa Special at the park. I hope Bob doesn’t get too wet. He will be out straight after breakfast and I probably won’t see him much before 5.30 as they have to set up this morning and clear up this evening. I have few pla...

How do I start a new topic on a forum. I want to ask a techie question about Smart Tvs. Found the forum but can’t see how to open a new topic

Morning It was an ok day yesterday, I quickly sorted out Lucy’s skirt in the morning, and then generally relaxed, doing a jigsaw that we started on Friday. Its a complicated one and will keep us occupied till Christmas. We had a good lunch with the usual 4, Wendy and Keith arriving a bit late as the...

Morning Despite yesterdays red sky in the morning we had a dry and sometimes sunny day reaching 10 degrees. We walked into town, I left Bob at the optician for his hearing test then I went for a walk round the shops, a rare event, and bought a present for Julia ´s birthday which is just after New Ye...

Taken this morning on my new phone which I am beginning to love very much

Morning A dry day is forecast. We had one yesterday apart from a very light shower about noon. We had a lovely meal and afternoon with our friend Wendy and it was nearly 4 when we got back. She had never been to the restaurant before and liked it very much being impressed with the prices, portion si...

Morning I had a good session with Maxine other than my worst fears being true. The fit of the sleeves was not right and I thought they would have to come out and be reset. After a lot of fiddling Maxine agreed with me which meant unpicking what was actually a finished garment. Neither Maxine nor I c...

Forgive my ignorance Sue, but how do you know when you are no longer infectious? Is it when the coughing and sneezing stops? Colds flu etc are infectious a couple of days before the symptoms which is why they spread so rapidly and like Covid the infective stage has usually gone by day 5. Any remain...

Well I am on my phone I changed my password… to what the password was anyway

try login on a computer at the library if you have access to check / change password. Iphones are above my pay grade but I suspect you might have a CAPS set issue , where it is holding capitols - android releases unless you double up shift first. Watch too for underscore and dash and other odd char...

Neither do I . I may have to change my password I supposev

Not my pass word. I have a good password but I have been refused a login and been asked to fill in a complex set of info from a phrase 29th February… Etc. Fill in 2 nd letter, 4 th, 6 th, 15 th 21 st and 27 th This very difficult on a phone. I have a valid and apparently a very good password and my ...
