A whole day spent messing around with VBA in Excel and my head hurts.

I used to be able to write programs in assembly language, qBasic an C but my programming skills have lapsed...

The good thing is that I have two weeks off starting tomorrow so I can forget all about it again

The thing to remember with Excel is that it will do what it wants. If that happens to be what you wanted then great, you can join in; if it isn't then whatever you wanted to do is irrelevant.

It's like herding a dozen adolescent cats when none of them like any of the others and there are mice in the building.

Had a rubbish sleep last night so a very slow morning just sat around drinking tea and watching tv. Will no doubt have a snooze in the heat later, then hopefully be fit to get out on the bike.

a nap before a bike ride. that sounds splendid

 

[rockyroller]

I'm off out to pick some blackberries. It's only a short ride away so I might take the long route...
@rockyroller would MrsRR like some for her pies? I could trebuchet some across the pond if you want?

lol, fa-wing! & thank you!

Yet another glorious morning ruined by being viewed through the office window. I have managed to upset one shipping agent, so the day's not a complete write off

I managed to get a doctor's appointment today,a real appointment.She asked me to stand near the window,take off my mask and stick my tongue out.Will that tell you what is wrong.No she said I just don't like the person next door.

I have tracked the persistent (but not immediately obvious where it was coming from in the pouring rain at the roadside) click from the front wheel that developed during Sunday's eighty mile ride on the Viscount to the Shimano dynohub itself and with the wheel out of the bike, the bearing feels very sick with a definite tight spot

I'll have to figure out how to dismantle and service the thing (if it's even possible) but it has helped make up my mind - I will be taking the mountain bike on holiday with me tomorrow!

I suppose I've had it about eight years and it has covered thousands of miles in all weathers. I can't complain really.

Bread baked. About to stick an apple pie in the oven.

Do you talk to your plants ?




I was cussing my tomatoes ! They kept on falling over as I was trying to water them !

 

[classic33]

Good morning. I'm about to eat five (5) slices of toast.

Given most toasters do two slices at the same time, isn't that a waste of electric!

 

[classic33]

Why do some people wear those bikini's which look like they are not wearing anything from behind ?

You jealous?

Right, with Saturday eliminated we've only 6 suspects now.

Can narrow it down even further, Today or Tomorrow.

Big oven grill maybe? Ours fits 6 slices easily

Fabby supper. Scrambled eggs with parsley & chives on my home baked bloomer, and then apple pie & custard.

Piggy Reynard.

So it was far too hot to go out on the bike and tomorrow looks like a heady 28c so I`m going to have an early night and a very early start
