Frustrating .. technology beyond me , G and Ipoorly. with this cold virus that's doing its rounds. Some Xmas lights not working! Not happy using mobile phone for photos (hands arthritic and too clumsy)and hate using the tablet for the same reason.
IGNORE ABOVE ... I had to get it off my chest.
At least we had some sunshine today.
For all the challenges you are facing, Beryl, you created a beautiful image! I love the tones and the watercolour effect! Fav (So sorry to hear that you and Gary are unwell. I hope you are both feeling better soon!)
I hear you- right now at work- I can't get into the directory for addresses or phone numbers and my computer won't talk to either of the printers I use- so I have to make one print at home, and then bring it to work to make copies that way instead of directly sending the file to the printer. Vent away- I'll join in!
It makes it harder to deal with when all the frustrations are happening when you aren't feeling well. I agree it is very hard to work on photos on smaller screens. Hope things look brighter tomorrow!
@onewing Thanks Babs, .. this virus is debilitating. Feeling good for nothing , but sleep and cough, But keeping the spirits up by viewing all your lovely photos with some occasional comments . Laptop still out of order as I am not feeling up to taking down town to my PC man. Hope there is improvement with your hip problems .. old age is no fun is it ! Take care xx
@beryl We are two crocks together aren't we. My hip still isn't good but I am coping. Hope your laptop is fixed soon.
I try and think in the middle which is what I tell my grandson. There is always someone going to be worse off than you and always someone better off but if you can think in the middle you will be okay. Yesterday I was in the shopping centre and I saw a chap riding his mobility scooter and he only had one leg. I thought well at least I haven't got that problem, so I am thinking in the middle. ha ha.
My Nanna always said 'cough it up it may be a gold watch' so if you can cough up a gold watch you can share it with me ha ha. Take care xx
@casablanca Aw!! thanks CAssie for passing the message on from Sprig . I am still coughing and spluttering, and not even feeling well enough to take my poorly laptop down town to my computer man . Merry Christmas Sprig and Cassie xx
@onewing Good advice Babs, ..yes there is people a lot worse off ..we should count our lucky stars .As for coughing up a gold watch ...that would be a miracle!! Thanks for your humour Babs xx
@sangwann .. when it rains it sem to pour Dione,, both G and I have had this horrible flue that seems to be rife in the UK at the moment (nothing like being in fashion is there !) So debilitating, so tired, coughing and spluttering, etc,etc. On top of all. My laptop has decided it needs some TLC from my computer man, when I fèl well enough to to take it down to town, having been housebound for the last 12 days or so. When it rains , it seems to pour Dione, Thank you for your concern and for enquiring .xx
Just checking in to see if you're any better- miss your thoughtful and kind comments and hope you are on the mend and that your computer will be fixed soon!
@olivetreeann thanks Ann, this flue virus is a shocker, coughing and spluttering and zapped of all energy. Bahh , humbugs. !! Feeling a bit more with it this am. .. must try to find energy to take the laptop to my man in town .. haven't been out of the house for nearly a fortnight Thanks my friend xx
@mittens Thank you Marilyn, ..hope to get rid of it before Xmas. And hopefully have the energy and stop coughing enough to go to get my laptop repaired. !
I've noticed for a few days now that you weren't posting every day, but have very kindly commented on my photos, so I came to see if you've said how you are feeling. Sorry to read that the flu bug is still hanging on. I hope you start feeling much better soon, Beryl.
@lynnz thank you Lynn, I am feeling a little better but has absolutely drained me of all energy . Love to keep in touch by seeing all your photos. Also lap top in need of TLC . hope to get that sorted soon to start posting again. Xx
@louannwarren So thoughtful of you Lou Ann, thank you so much feeling better , but coughing and so drained . No doubt it will take its time , but hope I will feel better for Christmas xx Love and best wishes to you xx
