v7? Let us know what it's like.

I've only opened Calc so far and the chief difference I've noted is that the save icon is mauve with a red dot when there's stuff to save. I haven't read the installation notes because they tend to go over my head. So, anyway, it's more colourful....

Though - curiousity piqued - if you care to read the release notes, you may be interested to learn that Writer will now transliterate into Old Hungarian and they've tweaked the Non-volatile Random Number generator in Calc.

Sunny intervals, warm and very breezy here chez Casa Reynard.

Prompted by the forecast, I went out for a ride this morning to avoid the rain. Which still is avoiding us here. Anyways, I found a new-to-me patch of hedgerow. Good job I was on the hybrid, as I scrumped a pannier of apples from the tree growing at random in there.

Bit early for hedgerow apples? I too came across a tree this morning and plucked a fruit to check for ripeness. At the first chomp my cheeks were drawn in and by the time I'd finished that mouthful I felt dehydrated to the point of dessication! Needless to say, I cast the remainder for the hedgerow beasts to finish off. Might need a few weeks before these fruit are edibly ripe methinks.

Depends on the variety. The earliest apples are ripe beginning of August.

The place I checked yesterday, those apples definitely weren't ready - was a struggle to pull a fruit off the tree. This place, there were already a lot of apples on the ground, and they were easy to pick, which is usually indicative of ripeness. Besides, if they're not quite ready, it's nothing a couple of weeks of storage in the utility room won't solve.

We saw the Spitfire. It did 3 circuits. They had altered the route due to the bad weather so it was a bit early.

I've just affixed a notice to my letterbox saying "No adverts or free newspapers*"

In theory this means the purveyors of Chinese meals, used cars, pizza delivery services and general junk that keep offering me their wares now have to leave my postbox inviolate; we shall see...

*In German, for obvious reasons.

You'll see, their wares stuffed through your letterbox.

Thanks. It went right overhead at one point .
For some reason my computer reverted to the original pictures after I cropped them .
The pilot and owner of the Spitfire is John Romain and is funding the project himself .

Well M&S certainly know how to treat their customers .
My daughter bought me some Luxury hot cross buns and they have altered the recipe and taken a lot of the spice out .
The company has been through a number of top bosses who don't understand who buys their products! The way they are going no one
will !
