A big hello to all.
A cloudy day here in Blighty, with light rain forecast, 16C.
Well, apologies from me, but yesterday was a stressful day.
Not only was my new laptop playing up doing an unbelievable 7 hours of updates, my old lappy was in for a new 'dry joint' to the motherboard, so I was computerless!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
We do have a 'big' desktop computer as well. but Susan was doing her family history stuff on it and couldn't ask her to stop.
Currently she has got one branch of her family back to the 1600's in Blackley in Manchester, they were called Consterdine of Dutch origin she thinks, all very interesting.

This arvo a Dell engineer is calling to install a new optical drive in my new laptop, I can't load Microsoft Word or Excel or play DVD's and CD''s, I am not a happy bunny with it.
If it's not fixed today I am going to ask for a full refund, I have had it a week and it's mostly been unusable.
Enough of my moans LOL

Hope you are having a better day than me Our Mo!!!!!!!!

Well done for starting us off Marie.
Loads more for Our Mo and Vince.

Lizzie, so glad that Keith got the 'all clear'.
It's great getting owd isn't it LOL!!!!!!!!
That sounds like a really good breakfast with Sis , I do like my eggs, but limit myself to two a week.
At one time eggs were considered bad for you because they were 'dairy', apparently now they contain 'good' cholesterol.
It seems the food scientists don't always know what they talking about.
I've prattled on again LOL
Thanks for our wordage Lizziekins,
