Hello, Pigale!
No, I did not think a Dunkeld road closure would affect you, too much!
It was nice of them to let folk know, though.
It has turned into a lovely evening here so I hope that is the start of some nice weather!
Yes, I think it is the male, too.
The crows are very noisy!

Hi, Rusty!
I shall give fitter no 1 until I return from the park tomorrow morning to answer......if there is no reply by then, I will ring the no 2 candidate!
I want it all organised as soon as possible.
I didn't know that there has been a problem with Windows 10?
Our elder daughter uses Skype sometimes to ring us...when the children want to "see" us!
I tend to prefer the phone!
But the mix up over crossword screen shots was MY fault!
John did send me a message on Friday morning, to tell me they would be away all this week....in my haste to get the boys organised and out......I overlooked the message!
All sorted now!
I need to buy a paper for the remainder of this week!
I have been watching "Make Me an Egghead".
I have never seen this before, although, according to Jeremy, Pat and Dave came on the show through that.
He didn't mention how Lisa came to be there?
Did you see it?

Rusty, I have just discovered that my "Favourites" has disappeared from the top bar of my computer.
This is extremely vexing!
Would this be something to do with the Windows 10 hiccup, do you suppose?

Elle

If you right-click an empty area of the button bar, can you check "Favorites"? Otherwise, can you press Alt+F to see the menu bar and then click View>Toolsbars>Favorites?

Hello, Elle,
Windows 10 fiasco was on BBC News text service.
I would not know if that affected your favourites but I doubt it.
Follow Eirlys' advice, she sounds as if she knows what she is talking about!
It will be something fairly simple, I think.
I have not watched Eggheads but have recorded it.
I have over indulged in TV during the Games.
Time for a break!

Eirlys!
You are brilliant! thank you for your help.
I did as you suggested and clicked on an empty area of the bar....
I hadn't realised, but "View- Tools - Favourites- Help" were all missing!
They came back when I clicked,
I am sorry if I am being a bit dense here, but can you explain (simply please) what must have happened?
Did I do something to make it all go away?

Elle
I really can't explain why these hiccups occur, but they do .
However, there are always ways of restoring things to their original state.
I was in the middle of typing an email earlier when the font size shrunk (seeminly of its own accord ) from 110% to 40% ! In my haste, I must have mistakenly hit some key, but I managed to restore it.

Eirlys,
I tried "System Restore" to a restore point of two days ago, to see if that remedied matters - usually that solves most problems - but it didn't in this case.
So again, thanks very much!

Hey, Rusty!
Yes, Eirlys very kindly solved the problem for me.
I still have no idea though as to what caused it.
Usually problems like that can be sorted by "restoring the system" to a previous date - but I tried that and, in this instance, it didn't work.
Anyway, back in business now!
I didn't really enjoy the "Make Me an Egghead" offspin - it is to find two more people to be on the Eggheads team.
I can see that one must be to replace CJ.
I wonder if someone else is leaving?
Or maybe they all want more time off!
I have done the Times QC - and a part of the Times 15 x 15...
But my brain in shut down mode.......going to read......
