getting a grip on things
i am so slow at doing things, i buy gadgets ‚then leave them on a table for several months because i am sure that i will never make any sense of the instructions.….the gadget for converting slides and negatives terrified me.…and it is so simple to use. my computer is now full of ancient images.
the same thing applied to accessing my blog from a computer other than my ancient one…well it involves remembering passwords and also finding the admin bit.
well after procrastinating for at least two years tonight i did it in a few moments.and so pleased with myself that i am putting it on my wee portable notebook.….….in order to keep family and friends up to speed with latest goings on.
so we replaced the lead pipes that carry the water to our taps. last august.……on monday a man from Scottish water came to inspect the work and arrange getting it attached to the mains.….i don’t know why i am here were his first words. so i told him.
i can’t pass that he said we didnt see it being put in, .…we had contacted them many many times.….….….….……i showed him copious numbers of photographs of the work.….….…my builder in a trench halfway up his thighs.….….……not deep enough said he…it might freeze.…it was –20 here last winter for several days, it nothing froze and nothing has frozen for 100 years…standards are different says he.
so i still have my supply through the old lead pipes.
going to a wedding on a beach in Israel. soon…it is going to be hot.……i am a cool northern person…i have total sun block.
