The Pointless Page

Well done brue on plant sales definitely not pointless, unless they're not given right conditions. Enjoy a day of rest 😉

Oneputt not pointless to say you're enjoying yourself at all. Long may it continue.

Yesterday I planted a dozen or so summer bedding plants. Ground very dry quite shallow so after I put the hosepipe on the bed gently on the ground for a good hour the plants around them all looked so much better for their drink. Awoke to horrid looking sky thought it was early but no 0745 then heard really heavy rain! Just a short burst. Checked the water butts but if they've got an inch more in them then that's generous. Sun out now but suspect well have another welcome shower. So watering wasn't as pointless as I'd feared.

OH has used up all my compost for tomatoes! And I have thousands of seedlings to prick out! Seeds always seem a good idea until it comes to pricking out........

Spent over an hour writing the story of my last trip.  Did it on Word and inserted photo's in the appropriate sections of the text.  Tried to copy and paste as a whole but to no avail.  Managed to paste the text then tried to insert the photos into the correct sections, what Phaff. In the end I just gave up and dumped it, frustrating and pointless really.

Why not use the option of uploading five photos direct from your computer so they appear as a banner at the top of your story? It might mean the presentation is not exactly as you want it but it is relatively easy to do, at least from a laptop. All the clever stuff that Chas does is a bit more complicated but can still be done with a bit of practise.

I've never been able to master transferring from word to the story section. It seems such a convoluted way to add a story. However the time out is so fast when typing in what has to be a very short story and adding photos it leaves little time or no time to edit. The worst scenario is losing everything after putting in all the effort. Very frustrating.

Brue

I always compose in Word now. The main problem is that when copied over it needs re-formating as the spaces between paragraphs are too wide. It would be ideal if what Oneputt was trying to do was able to be done on this forum as it would be so easy to include pictures within the text. But as we know this forum doesn't allow simple and straightforward!!!

Here's something else which isn't straightforward my previous avatar hasn't updated on my phone. How strange as it has on my laptop. Will see what happens when I post...no, still the same. 

Brue definitely different on my phone to what is was before. Boats and coloured houses is what I see now.

Photo of Aberaeron has now appeared. Looks like a 24 hour adjustment on my android phone. I didn't try to speed it up .

It's IT but not as most know it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
