Yes thanks Paul. That seems to make the menu appear and disappear. I'll guess that's what is intended?

The default was always with the emoji bar visible, now the default is hidden and I have to toggle it on to view each time I try to use it.

The emojis sometimes now work if I start a post, but not if I make a reply. I can't add them in later as an edit either. I've tried clearing history, logging out and back in, rebooting computer etc, but always the same. This started just a couple of days or so ago.

For this post, the menu has been off, I've switched it on, clicked an emoji or two, but nothing. Odd.

I still can't get them working. The default view I get is this - hidden smileys.

If I switch on the cog (toggle bb codes) I get this.

Smileys menu now available, but clicking on them produces nothing (or at least most of the time).

I've been for a little bimble this morning, 20 miles. My good Lady has a new care package but the carer doesn't get here till ten, we're going to have a word and see if we can get the carer here earlier like with the original package. I waited till the carer had been, made sure my Good Lady was OK and then I headed out, did the first part of my Hoar Park loop, out through Keresley, Astley and Ansley, the other side of the village instead of turning left towards Hoar park I turned right onto the Nuneaton road and turned left down Pipers lane, at the end of the road I turned left through Birchley Heath and did a loop which brought me back to Ansley, I then followed my wheel Tracks back to the junction with Windmill lane instead of turning back to Kereskey I carried on past the Book Farm into Bedworth Heath and a regular route home. Not a bad morning for a bike ride, it was drizzling earlier on but it turned into a cold grey morning with only a light breeze. I enjoyed that.

Puzzle game procrastinator!
I thought about filling her frame with lead shot - but I think I've already been cautioned that it might just make her stronger.
Sounds like a job for...



... Bicycle Bungee Woman! :laugh:

YIKES - Bicycle Bungees are ridiculously expensive! :eek:

There are lots of cheaper alternatives though.

I reckon you could make a bicycle tow system very simply by tying together some old inner tubes? :whistle:

Mrs D had a horrid day yesterday with nausea and vertigo. Eventually got a callback from the cancer clinic which is her go-to for medical concerns. The problem could be either a reaction to one of her cancer meds or a delayed reaction to her Pfizer 2nd dose a week ago, or both, or something else. In many ways pain is easier than nausea. Hopefully she will be better today and the later she sleeps the better.
There might be 1/4 the snow we had a few days ago, as it is melting like crazy. We have issues with water trickling in from heavy rain or snowmelt in the past....it comes in from tiny cracks in the concrete walls in the partially below grade walls of the lower level of this house. To address this years ago I dug a couple of trenches in the back of the house, put in 6 " drainpipe and backfilled with gravel to drain the water away from the bottom level walls. We also have 1/2 dozen fans in the area where this occurs, and yesterday a trickle appeared but the fans dried it up and appear to be keeping it that way. Yippee ki yay! ( That is Wyomingish for Jolly Good!)
It is possible that there may be a ride in store for me today, depending on Mrs 12's situation.
Classic 33, the limbs you provided reminded me of the ladies on the Mount Marty College volleyball team in Yankton SD where I was stationed for a few years. Mighty they were, 6' 6"" or more in height and sported thighs as big as my chest and Schwartznegger arms. The hairstyle they favored included lacquering the hair on top of their heads into a pointy cone that provided another foot in height. If you went to the grocery store you could the "mall hair" as they called it sticking up above the shelving. As a 5' 8" pipsqueak I felt like a Yorkie next to a mastiff. As a married man one tries to avoid salacious thoughts about women young enough to be a daughter, but they did exude a certain Brobdingnian appeal.
Be safe and well...

Hmmmmmm......... popped over to resolve No 2 son's tablet issue. Very simple, uninstall the offending apps and reinstall. :bravo:

Decided to take a look at his phone. Ah!!! What's this language on the welcome screen? Oh well, let's open the keyboard. Oh dear. Ah well let's download a new English keyboard. No internet connection. WiFi good. Internet bad.

Returned home at 1.00pm with phone. Three hours later I'm still working my way through the fixes. Internet good. Update is working. Deleted shed loads of apps. At one point his mobile app showed he had purchased 14 terrabytes of data!!!!!! Now showing as a more realistic 2gigabytes.

Can't be sure what language I'll be facing till updates are complete.
