    Just typed a lot and it has disappeared. Here goes again.

    Today we went to Apple Store and it seems iPad batteries cannot be replaced unlike on iPhones. in the end DH was adamant we bought a new iPad.
    Then began the performance of trying to set it up and through iCloud retrieve what was on the old one. Lo passwords well ask me another. Also we don!!!8217;t have a smart phone so the assistant, who said she would help set it could only stare at the old phone I produced. Phone has no signal in shopping centre. Assistant went off out but still no signal. Only now have we eventually got into the new iPad and wifi seems to be working. I dont want to hear about passwords ever again.

    Still. we have a new iPad and I think my fingers are going to be very pleased.

    Hope everyone has had a good evening.

    Sunny here too Alfie but seems a lot of people have snow again.

    Forgot to say we waited awhile at Apple Store because we didn!!!8217;t know we had to say we were there to one of the assistants. We sat at the Genius Bar.A smily woman came and sat next to us with normal sized rucksack on her back. The young Genius explained to her what was wrong with her phone and then suddenly we saw him jump back. He!!!8217;d noticed what we hadn!!!8217;t the dogs head coming out of the rucksack.

    Still on lap top as not all passwords i.e. email addresses and this site sorted.

    Yes, Women!!!8221;s International Day. Special this year with 100 years since first Women could vote.

    Hope everyone has a good and lucky day

    Morning, well done on the wins yesterday. My son had a parcel turn up yesterday with 3 games in. I think it was from a mag daily but he had no email ect,so was very surprised. It's sunny and breezy here at the moment so got washing in as it looks a good drying day. We are off to Aldi's later as they are opening a new store just up the road from us and although it should have opened before christmas there opening it today so going t see what they have..lol. Our nearest one is 5 miles away and i only pop in there when i have the dentist as it is over the road from them.It will be good to have a local one.Hope you all have a lucky day.

    Just seen on the Martins twitter feed on MSE that he has been talking about loosing his mother aged 11 in an interview on the BBC.

    Someone commenting on TW has put
    The worst thing about grief is that people try so hard to go back to normal but there is no normal anymore. You need to make a new normal.

    How true this is.
