The one I keep getting from yahoo is the one I'm suspicious of, its telling me that because I'm on an old login method I'm not going to be able to access my E-Mail on a third party app after a certain date at the end of the month, I've kept deleting the E-mails but am wondering if they are genuine.

I believe they are. It will just save me going through thousands of old e-mails and the like.

I've now managed to reduce 201 photos to a final cut of 18 - 9 boy cats and 9 girl cats. Next step is to choose a top 5 from each, and the ones that don't make it will get a VHC.

Have had a good giggle - mainly cats doing things that are not terribly wise...

Anyways, I'm calling it a night.

Morning all busy day ahead so time for some dark lonely miles just me and Brian

Good morning. There are rumours of Brunch today.

In other news, my "smart" phone has decided it doesn't want to charge so I'm hunting for another one.

What annoys me is the snotty message implying it's my fault...

Got some tea now.

I've emailed a friend who does complex computer related stuff about the phone, on the basis he probably has a handful kicking about and I really just want an alarm clock over the next few days: Watsapp and other luxuries can wait a bit.

The problem is that he's very generous and has a tendency to offer to buy one which I don't really want to happen. We shall see.

To be fair, he owns a rather successful company and even now probably earns in a month what I earn in six, but still...

I do shopping for my parents at the moment and my mother writes the shopping list on a scrap of paper and takes a photograph of the list and then sends me the photo in Whatsapp

My wife said . "Doesn't everybody ? ".

Woken at 6.30am by a skip wagon collecting the house opposite's skip before they move. They've been decent neighbours so I'm a wee bit forgiving.

Still feel grotty but I'm taking son no. 2 to ride the Drighlington hillclimb: from a pub to the top and then the brewery. He'd better win The only advantage of this one is that it's a 10 minute drive rather than 3-4 hours for some.

Morning .
It is grey here.
I have got to change over a car door for my friend this morning . Not really looking forward to it . I'd rather have a nap .

I was thinking of slicing a banana into my porage, this morning, but, in the end, I didn't.

We're off on holiday today, fairly remote cottage in a fairly remote village in North Yorkshire, but still feel slightly apprehensive, hopefully we get some dry weather over the next 7 days & we can get some miles in.

i've cleaned my razor and put it on charge this morning, it needs new blades but the cost of them isn't much less than buying a cheap razor.

If it was me in that dilemma, I would take into account the following thoughts. When was he last very generous in buying something for you, and/or how often has he done that? Some people are able to be generous in a very graceful way. I would emphasise to him that you really just want a very basic phone, without the added "extras".

He may own a successful company, but he knows that he cannot do what you do, and he likes to be generous.
