Good Morning, Rusty!
Damp and mild this morning. How is it with you? Did you have the forecasted snow? Are your pavements slippy?
Bridgedale socks are hiking socks, aren't they? Mine are Coolmax, the idea being, I think to keep your feet 'cool' in summer, despite the padding on the socks.
They and my Nubucks are wonderful when out walking the dog over the fields and through the woods!
We had trouble getting to the park this morning.... there had obviously been an "incident" along the road we usually drive. The police had taped up the area with their blue and white tape, but hadn't had the good sense to notify drivers, by way of a notice, that the road was closed in the middle!
So motorists were driving along, not being able to see the tape from either end of the (long) road, and then getting stuck in the middle - unable to turn because of the bottleneck.
Just what you need before 8am!
No idea what was the problem...might find out when the local paper comes out!

Okay, Chris, so half way there!
I wanted the last line to be bold, italicised and underlined - all three - how do I do that?

Hi, Ros!
I was at the Tate Britain myself only the other week. I think the café has been revamped- I don't remember its being like that on previous visits? And they provide hot food too.
The restaurant there looks very 'swish', but the prices unfortunately correspond to that!
We went to the café as the cheaper option!

Very good, elle - you have turned on the effects. To turn them off you use the same letter in the square brackets again, but put a forward slash ( / ) in front of it.

For example (missing out the brackets) b turns bold on, /b turns it off.

.....but you have to pt each one in separate sets of brackets - it looks like you were trying to do them all at the same time

Yes, Chris, I worked that out and that is what I did - but how did it affect all the previous posts?
