Hello to all my friends in this new year

22 comments


I am frustratingly attempting to post a short blog here. I am still having problems with my laptop so that will I hope explain why I’ve not been about much. I’m waiting to hear from Dell to see what can be done with it.

This is only one of the “fails” of electrical appliances over the holidays….laptop, microwave, oven, hob and dishwasher are all giving us grief! I think bears have the right idea….hibernate!

On a happier note….all the snow has vanished and things are looking brighter outside. Dare I dream of spring? When my laptop is sorted I’ll post a photo of the completed patio that was finished just before Christmas.

All the best to all for a great gardening year ahead.

Nice to hear from you again - hope all gets sorted for you - it is cold here - but dry and the days are around 15 mins longer a week - so getting better

Hope you get it all sorted soon WL, and return to normality, and the SPRING.

All those things going wrong, and you still sound cheerful! Look forward to seeing your patio pics, and yes, roll on Spring. :)

Oh dear Whiston that is a case of mega gremlins,hope you get things sorted asap. Brynner knocked my laptop flying in Nov so I bought a new one, one week later hubby realised he payed insurance for the old one, he contacted PC World and they fetched it and fixed it for me, no charge, only took two weeks..Pays to check insurance...
Looking forward to seeing your patio and yes !!! yearning for springtime......

Happy New Year W.Lass, pleased to hear your patio is finished and looking forward to seeing some pictures, do hope you get your laptop sorted out soon, its so frustrating when it packs up. I got up with the intention of doing some tidying in the garden this mornig but Hey its covered in snow again, what a Nightmare!!

Looks like you may ahve to go back to basics, wash dishes in the sink with some fairy liquid, cook food over an open fire without the microwave overn or hob.

You could try hibernating.

4 Jan, 2011

 

I did actually think about hibernating, Alex! lol We've got an engineer coming on Friday to look at the dishwasher, been on to Dell and they've suggested removing Firefox and reinstalling it to see if that helps with the speed problems. I've done that and it does seem to have improved things considerably. Ever the pessimist...will it be the answer? Sure hope so!

We had a skiff of snow overnight but it's nowhere to be seen now. :) Yeah!

Hope to get pictures dowloaded so I can share our new patio with you all :) Thanks so much for all your positive good wishes everyone.

Happy New Year from me too, lets see these pics then......all the best for 2011.

Happy New Year, how are you getting on getting rid of the dreaded brambles?

5 Jan, 2011

 

The brambles are history (I say that guardedly...we'll see if any rear their heads in the spring but I am hopeful they have been uprooted finally!); thanks for asking Nana.

The Christmas tree is coming down today (1 day earlier than tradition dictates but it just "feels" like it's time!).

And I'm off outside to see if I can get a couple of photos of the new paved patio....DD you'll be pleased to hear..lol.

It's glorious sun here today and it makes me hopeful for spring and all the excitement of planting up :)

Happy New year to you....hope you get everything sorted soon....

Happy New Year, looking forward to seeing that new patio of yours.
Best wishes

Honestly....I am jinxed! Now I am having real problems again with this computer! Very slow again...ugh! And it seems to behave worse on GoY :( I also am waiting advice from my son-in-law (he's the family help with all things techi...) to find out way my Picasa will not load my photos from my camera!

I'll be back...I've got the photos on my camera...just need to get them onto my puter and then I can publish a new blog. Apologies....it can only get better!

Thanks for your encouraging comments all :) x
