philmayfield 6,275 Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Yes, I changed the battery on my daughter’s MacBook last year. A fiddly job but it worked well enough to copy all the files. I bought her a new one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,107 Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Talking of computers (not brill on them) I did have a ASUS which was 10inch bit like a notepad plus very light and easy to take anywhere with you. Story  Master wanted to watch more sport on tv so went back to BT every thing was fine landline. TV (lots of footie ) internet our 2 lap tops worked in fact one is so old thought it might be ready for bin??? but know it just came back to life. Even master's kindal worked. So far so good  just a minute what about my little baby??? well after being on the phone emailing BT for a full week it still did not want to get back into the swing of things, so went and brought a new ASUS Crome bit bigger 12"  but it works ??? now my old one grandson said " should I take it clear data then sell it for you?" ok I said  Not seen any ASUS or grandson since. if fact might fill in a form for Missing person with a ASUS.

Stavertongirl 1,727 Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Took Jj out for a quick walk, he will have a longer walk later. What a lovely morning after the last few days, birds singing, sky blue (at moment), daffodils and snowdrops out. Feels like spring is arriving, might be able to ditch the thermals finally! 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

siddha 826 Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Very windy this morning!! Out on the field at the back in the dark wrestling a tarpaulin off of the chicken run. Avian flu has meant they can no longer run free so to keep them in a run is the only answer but this brings problems of shelter; when running free they are adept at finding shelter when it rains or is very windy. In a run you can provide some protection from the elements with a tarpaulin however in very windy weather the whole thing becomes like a box kite and can end up three fields away. Bit like the Gazebos that folk leave out after a BBQ and the next day there they are gone!! Â Today I shall be mostly in my garage out the wind wrestling with a Riley water pump. When it has won the contest then I shall sit inside muttering. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,760 Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 I've had a lazy quiet day by myself as Mrs Col is at daughter's helping with childcare. Took the opportunity to watch the film of 'Where The Crawdads Sing', from the novel by Delia Owens. I think it's a clever, original and beautiful story. It's been showing on Sky Premier HD. I got the novel on Audible last year having heard about it because the lead was played by Daisy Edgar-Jones, of 'Normal People' fame. As ever the film lacks a lot of the subtlety, detail and nuance of the book, but at least they got the atmosphere and the basic plot right. I enjoyed it. Recommended.  1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siddha 826 Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Murky outside today cloudy and raining. May go to the local leisure centre to see if can catch a game of badminton. Garage awaits with Riley water pump and fitting of inlet manifold with single SU of the period. Also got couple of jobs on Chrysler to do , petrol gauge stopped working I suspect the new petrol composition playing havoc with float. Means taking lots of stuff off of the back of the car.  DJ I watched Where Crawdads Sing  other night and like you I prefer the book, that is the case for many films. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,760 Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 My daughter has now been designing clothes, among other things since she graduated. These days she doesn't often bother to show us what's hers in the shops, but here's something she has in Matalan at the moment. It seems t be selling very well. https://www.matalan.co.uk/product/detail/s2946533_c211/girls-green-schiffley-co-ord-set-4-13yrs-green  Some years ago she was on the Matalan design staff, but found it a bit tame. These days she's Freelance. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,617 Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Col, your daughter’s design looks very pretty and I like the colour, but I fear it would need ironing. However, some people I know actually like doing ironing! You must be very proud of her success 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRS B 572 Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Margie, I gave up ironing many years ago when I created tramlines in hubbies Army trousers. He does all the ironing now. Can’t say I miss it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,107 Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Don't tell the master that i have posted this!!  One day master asked me to show him how to iron, so starting on easy things eg Hankies then more advanced. Hankies easy pesy next shirts??   Wel;l he placed the shirt on the ironing board, and it fell off,  twice more, each time he placed on the board by the time he had picked up the iron the shirt was on the floor.       By thim time the master had given up. OK Whats next on the list.

Jill Sparrow 10,398 Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 I think the word obey is optional now, Trogg, but for centuries it was part of the marriage vows for women only! No way would I ever have promised to obey any man but, then, no way would I ever get married. It must have been said by grandma Kate when she married Ted Sparrow in 1919 but she had no intention of honouring it any more than Ted had any intention of forsaking all others. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
