I'm with GG. The more of it's electronic, the fewer bits of paper there are to lose.

Automatic online backups are the way to go IMO, or else cloud-based filing - but I haven't got to the cloud-based stage yet.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

Many years ago when I was doing my PhD, I carefully backed up all my electronic data. Then I lost my paper notebook with three years' worth of data in it.
After that, I use to photocopy my notebook pages as I went along, and keep them somewhere separate from the main notebook. So paper can get lost or destroyed, and backing up is easier with electronic data. Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Morning, just waiting for Mr T to come to and then we are walking the hounds.
It will be a spend day as I'm popping to C@stco - the new offers start today and I have a number of items to stock up for the larder.
Menu plan for March is complete and the freezer will be emptying as we move through the month. I should be able to defrost and clean it at the end of March.
Looking forward to today. I'm cutting down a few bits in the back garden and doing some weeding in the front garden. No lady garden work GG
Mum was due to come back this week but sadly her remaining relative in the area is very ill. It's so sad to hear her talk about her family shrinking. Losing a sibling and looks like soon to be a cousin is hard for her. Thankfully she's been to visit and say her goodbyes.
Have a lovely day everyone - spring is most definitely on the way.

Hope all is going well in your world. I don't know about you, but I'm full of a wonderful sense of optimism and enthusiasm.
My mum was saying last night that she is so relieved the rain has stopped. For all the people who have suffered from floods etc, life must have been a nightmare.

It was lovely watching the washing on the line yesterday. Flapping about in the breeze, sun shining.
Sorry, I seem a little over excited at the moment
