Bright sunny morning and looks to last all day unlike yesterday which went downhill pretty quickly. Setting us up for the next lot of rain and gales.
My neighbour has taken his flags down again as the wind would probably burst his flagpole if they were left up and shred the flags as well.
Low sun is a problem on a bit of my usual trike route but cannot be bothered going further afield.

Bit of a frustrating evening...Breeze Browser won't transfer across, and I have lost both the CD and the product key. I have found my Photoshop CS2 CD, but I have lost the product key. I really don't want to have to cough up for the former, but I do use it an awful lot. The latter, maybe I could swing for Elements, I suppose. There is one more obvious place to look for those random bits of card, but if I can't find them, I'm farked.

I remember the old days when we first brought computers home & the hair pulling trying to get stuff to work. recently bought an older refurbed MAC only to find out some of its software limitations. took me a cpl months to get back to some sort of productivity w/ it. hang in there. you're not alone

A four hour car journey gets extremely painful and uncomfortable on the day after ankle surgery.

Don't think that'd be possible, or safe, if he were doing the driving.

Bonus, just popped into the Uni's owned pub, and I got asked if staff or student. Didn't have my ID, but got 10% off still. Good job as its £5 a pint. Student bars aren't cheap.

we used to have pubs on campus, mine & my girlfriend's. not allowed anymore, gee can't imagine why. but I remember .25 cent beer nites ... hehehe

We have taken Georgie to the vet . He didn't want to go . The vet found 2 puncture wounds in his head , one just above his eye and the other one on top of his head , bite marks. He is now on antibiotics. At the moment Georgie is behind the settee, his usual feel safe place .

poor Georgie! sounds like a close call! what from, do you suspect?

Using real Buffalo, from the range?

Real buffalo, from a farm, probably. Very lean meat, probably grass fed.

I am typing this from my new laptop. Still learning my way around Win 10. Giving Edge a go, but I will probably switch to Chrome.

Edge is based on Chrome.

Yes that is what I was told to do by the surgeon. I had to sit across the back seat with my leg elevated on pillows. I couldn't wear a seat belt like that but I was following medical advice.

Grey, blustery and decidedly chilly here chez Casa Reynard.

I have had a little bit of a kitchen morning. The ox cheek is in the crock pot to make pulled beef for lunchtime sandwiches, the cat's beef is portioned up. Some is in the freezer for later, and they have some for the next couple of days.

While I managed to dig out the product key for Breeze Browser from the program itself, I couldn't find the Photoshop one. A bit of research told me that it's encrypted, so you can't dig it out that way. But I have found a couple of Adobe codes, one on this old laptop, and one online, that have a chance of working. We shall see...

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon, and I has a hungry.

Nice breezy walk around the block
Watching a red kite swooping around in the breeze
Bins have been emptied and re positioned

Chimney swept and Woodburner re-assembled plus a Pallet cut up (got about a dozen left though) and all the Logs that were too long to fit the fire last year cut in half

Lovely lunch. A sandwich with the last of that lovely Cornish cheddar and a generous dollop of my gingered green tomato & red pepper chutney, a conference pear, some strawberries and two
