Wow what a day,
went to work in the rain, then watched the rain from the office window, and then still raining when I came home, don't think it even got light today .
My countryfile Calander had been delivered so cheered myself up by looking at the lovely photographs .
Son emailed me his "Amazon Wish List" think we're supposed to get ideas for Christmas !
Think I'll reply with my own "wish list"
May need a boat if it doesn't stop raining ! !

We have just been emailed an Amazon wish list by our son as well Helen He hasn't asked for mine but I think it would include at
least 2 weeks in the Bahamas.
The Countryfile calander is lovely isn't it.

Mr H has decided that he needs to learn how to use the internet so I am trying to teach him this morning. My patience is being tried to the limit.
I'm impressed and feel your pain. My OH fully conversant with internet and has been since the beginning but refuses to learn online banking. I have just had 'the conversation' with him again . Its his credit card bill that I was paying!!!! If it didn't cost so much in interest I'd leave it to him, but I can't watch others take his hard earned pension, that's my right
...Neither of us will have anything to do with on line banking
and OH does not "do computers"
Write your comments here...My eldest brother is like that. He won't have anything to do with computers. All communications have to be sent by snail mail! He's in his 80s.

Decided to brave the weather and drive to the gym this pm. There were some very big puddles, many wide ones and stretching across the whole road in some cases. Drove rather carefully thru them - not always able to tell the depth, some places where the road has been patched have washed out.
doesnt help when the wet stuff is falling out of the sky at a rate of knots too.

Malcolm I can understand that my mother's in her late eighties and waivers, she like to order her shopping online so she can have delivery van like the neighbours; but my brother does her shopping, she phones it through, he delivers. She doesn't have to pay for internet and gets same/better service!!! She also moans about the amount if time people spend on screens, have no idea how she knows . I have an uncle older than my mother who embraces the technology. My OH worked using computers email etc and is only in his 60's.
