Found a photo app yet?

No. Not looked..... I did upload one photo to my google drive ... as I was on a screen that offered that. No idea how I did it, or where that was

Poor your ear.



We have a new commuting cyclist on our road who comes past at about 7 :15 when its still dark, and wears all dark stuff ( black and dark blue,I only know its blue because I shone my torch o. Him when dog dog ran towards him in the gloom) and only has one puny light. I feel like lying in wait with glow in the dark silly string. At about the same time a milk lorry uses this road. At some point he's probably joining a busier road with more traffic. Why the resistance to being seen?

My ear's fine. The point is that it's not normal to have sunburn while listening to Xmas music.

As for your cyclist friend? Darwin in action. Ask him if his family want flowers or a donation to charity.

This reminds me of something my Aussie cousin says. She has the most ugly, garish wetsuit you ever did see. She told me the dark ones, particularly the black and grey ones, made you look most like a seal. Hence you are dressing up in shark infested waters as a shark's favourite dinner. She regularly dives near Fraser Island, which has tiger sharks and the occasional passing great white, so strikes me as well informed (if not just a little bit barking).

Since she told me this, I've been looking at pictures of people who have been attacked by sharks and a large number were dressed exactly as she said. Though of course I also realise that they are the most common wetsuit styles.

Kiwi hasn't worked out the bet place to sit in the sitting room is by the fire yet. Dog dog has got the best seat, big dog prefers a seat away from the fire so lies on the other side of the floor, but kiwi isn't sure where his place should be so wanders, like goldilocks, trying to see which part of the room is just right.

Cats got the hump and went out.

Edit.OH, apparently his place is on his back on my lap.

It's true. There is now a wetsuit that is supposed to be almost invisible to sharks; two designs I think (from memory). They're a bit like water camouflage.

Not Xmas decoration related, DH chose and bought for himself H&M David Beckham pants which look very nice but comfy. I would like some!

I would like some too, with Becks still in:o.

He proved you wrong. He did find the best place!

I did that thing in the 99p store today that is the reason I don't go out .... I bought stuff I didn't need that was in there and looked "handy". I came away with a small, lidded (13cm) casserole pot ... and a set of 6-7 wooden spoons/spatulas.

I didn't go mad in there..... else I'd have ended up spending £10!

I love wooden spoons.

I've worked out that if I've an image on the screen and I tap the top right hand corner, I can choose share and then it gives me a selection of where to share that to - and if I choose drive it uploads the image to my drive account.

I've also managed to get to the drive account on the phone ..... but I can't see a way to be looking at an image and choose "share that/give me a link"..... I'll, no doubt, stumble across it at some point.
