I always switch my laptop off rather than closing the lid. Mrs P is the opposite. She is often found cursing her laptop. I simply press the on/off button and mine fires up every time.Do you have a problem with the Chrome browser in Windows if you close the lid of your laptop with Chrome tabs open? Mine was driving me nuts because the foreground tab was always frozen when the laptop was woken up again.
It just happened to me again so I did a search and found the answer HERE...
It works for me!
The next thing to look at is how much power Chrome seems to use. I have used up 15% of my battery in about 20 minutes which is at least 2 or 3 times what I would expect.
Damn - 03:30 - so much for going to bed earlier; see you tomorrow, today, later... whatever!
Overall I feel lid closing does the machine no good at all.

Good Day. 6⁰ at 7.00am. Light cloud which will give way to sun, I think! Shorts? 🤔😂
I'll pop over to visit No 2 son. I need to fit a new seat post. New top tube bag to fit. Does this make me a real gravel rider? Might degrease both bikes as my Squirt lube has arrived. Pricking out and seed sowing to do.
Must get on as I need to empty dishwasher, tidy and iron.

Morning all...Started lockdown project number 3 yesterday. The plan is to demolish the pond and make the patio area bigger. Been on the lookout for a Bistro Set, they seem to be in short supply at the moment with the old cast iron ones going for silly money.
Out for a walk with Alan 🐶 after breakfast.
Have a good day folks!
Happy birthday Mrs D

Morning. Another chilly but gorgeous start to the day. 6.5 mile walk done. Never get tired of the views round there.
Just sat down with a big bowl of fruit and fibre.

Foggy morning so far but temp 3.4C just now. Probably burn out later I hope but not taking trike out until it does. Far too dangerous on single track roads.
A large furniture van just arrived at the police station just along the road. New polis arriving probably so need to watch our step as newcomers are usually very keen to make their mark. Problem is there is no easy parking for it and they narrow the road quite a bit. The 4x4's of those who live up past there will have a problem in their heads at least since most of them have no idea of width and need at least 3 ft on either side to get past anything.
Our summer ferry timetable has been announced to the fury of many as some ferry sailings have been cut due to a problem with MV Coruisk which nobody seems to know how to fix. The skipper has to be on the bridge at all times and has no rest periods so the sailing day has been reduced.
There is reduced capacity anyway due to covid and this will give more problems with the deluge of tourists. Locals travelling for mainland appointments will have even more problems.
