No crashes today either!

Good morning, Rusty!
A dry but dull day here......mildish at 7C.
How is it up your way?

I took my cards and little tree down yesterday.
Mikaela is the biz.
She is very popular with her fellow competitors.
She got on well with Jimmy on the Tonight show.
I thought it was quite funny!
I saw a video recently of her new house.
It would not be the kind of house I would want, but it is very special, up in the mountains in Colorado.
Good luck with the Everyman.

Hi, Rusty!
I have had some trouble with the crossword site this morning......
I keep being informed that it is "not responding"?
Have you had any difficulties accessing the Forum?
And even when I've achieved that, the response is extremely slow......in opening a thread , for instance...
I wonder whether this is widespread, or something peculiar to me?
The Everyman was fairly straightforward this morning...
I prefer more of a "tussle" in solving it!
I still have several recordings to catch up on....including those on BBC iPlayer that you sent me!
Just one or two more jobs to do...and then I shall sit down...and watch!

Hello, Elle!
I have had no trouble getting on the site.
Seems to be normal, for me.
Have you tried switching your computer off, then on again?
That can fix problematic issues, sometimes.
Miss ATW has just left.
She was doing her weekly shop and got a couple of things for me.

Hi, Rusty!
I don't think - I'm hoping not - that it is a computer problem, Rusty.
The difficult seems to lie just with this site.
I also keep finding myself logged off here , when I haven't touched anything!
I have just finished watching the "Wild Atlantic Way" with Anne Lundon on BBC iPlayer.
Fantastic scenery in Cork and Kerry.....
I really wish that I could do some walking there.....whilst I am still fit enough to do so!
I suppose you have yourself walked all along much of the West coastline at some stage?
I found the pipe making fascinating!
Not so much the chocolate making, though...I am not all that fond of chocolate!
I am looking forward to the rest of the series!

Hello, Elle!
Can you try clearing cookies and delete history, that may gee up your computer, a bit.
I think it should be a fairly easy fix.
Try a different browser?
On my tablet I am forever getting logged off, but only on this site.
Anne seemed to have a good time in Cork and Kerry.
I liked the story about the Armada.
And yes, what a skilled craft the pipe-making is.
I thought the chocolate making was a bit slabbery, but I like a bit of chocolate.
The French lad seemed to be glad he moved there, anyway.
Anne heads north to Clare next, on Wednesday.
You should tip your daughter off about the programme, seeing as she is heading that way?

Good evening, Rusty!
I "clean" , defrag, and check for viruses every week!
By rights, the computer should be working smoothly!
The fault only seems to be on this site...as yet anyway.....but you say that you, too, are being logged off on here occasionally...so maybe it is nothing to worry about .....just a temporary inconvenience!
Yes, I am ahead of you!
I have already sent a link to my daughter about the "Wild Atlantic Way"
I don't know whether she can watch BBC Alba directly , but I have told her about its being on BBC iPlayer.
I never did get round to taking down the tree ...I think I shall leave it until tomorrow.

Hello, Elle!
I have sites which load slowly.
BT Mail is one.
I doubt it is a problem at your end, especially as you Spring clean your computer every week.
If your daughter has Sky TV she will be able to get BBC Alba.
I can get Welsh language channels on mine.
And BBC Channel Islands etc.

Here is Mikaela's new house!

Hi, Rusty!
I don't know whether my daughter has Sky...I have a feeling that she did at one stage , but maybe cancelled it?
Anyway, I have explained to her that she can watch the programme on BBC iPlayer, if required.
Wow! that is some house that Mikaela has!
Lovely big rooms which I like!
I wonder how much it cost?
Although my preference is for old properties, I enjoy looking at "how the other half lives"!
