ctrl S is your friend.
It sounds as if you've something seriously wrong. Does it give any messages when it crashes?

Blustery, muggy and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.
I did not sleep well, and also overslept, so feeling rather grouchy. But I have had a productive morning nonetheless, which includes staking up some tomato plants that fainted overnight, rejigging the fridges in the kitchen and utility room after yesterday's culinary efforts and just generally doing a round up and putting away of stuff. I have also backed up some stuff on the laptop - without accidentally deleting anything this time.
Plan on spending the afternoon writing and watching the mountain biking on TV.
Time for luncheon, though...

I figured how to get rid of the window, which was something about adding an incorrect formula. I have no idea what it means; it came up when I highlighted some cells so I could copy them, but some frantic online searching showed how to get rid of it.

The rain stopped so I went up to my top shed looking for bits of planking I have stashed just in case they come in handy.
I know I stash too much stuff just in case but often it does save the day.
While up there I decided to dig up a tattie shaw tho' I had no great hopes of anything as the shaws died off overnight almost. I suspected blight had got them as I had not sprayed them and the weather was very suitable for blight.
However a pleasant surprise as not only were the potatoes healthy but I got nearly 1Kg from one shaw. That should be me with potatoes for the winter if the rest are as good.
The use of nicknames which was very common here has not totally died as somebody was on FB asking for Trumpton's phone number. The settlers would not have a clue and very often cause amusement by asking for Mr Mann for example whose name in fact is MacLean [ as is Trumpton's].

Back from work; short day today.
The bikes were getting mucky from hundreds of K's commuting on gravel, so they've been washed and are now drying in the sun. Expect heavy rain on the Breisgau region over the next weeks.
Now showered and wearing something a darn sight more comfortable than work clothes in this weather...

Poor lad, get's worse. His bank have changed debit cards from visa to mastercard, and he's got his old card with him - we've not seen a new one here (the bank isn't interested). AA still being incredibly rubbish - two hours on the phone again - only booked him in for a night, and no sign of car, or transport home.
Life lessons.

Lovely luncheon. Two slices of wholemeal toast, one with ham & mustard, one with the last of the cream cheese and tomato chutney, plus a pear, the last flat peach and some strawberries. And two 
of course.

This is exactly why I always take an appropriate amount of cash on me whenever I go further afield, and my cheque book. If nothing else, the latter has all the info I need to do a bacs transfer.
Just over 20 miles in total.

Tomatoes have been watered. Each planter is taking up about 2/3 of a gallon of water per day.
Had to right another planter and add some more supports, as there are SO many fruits on each plant. And the plants themselves have gotten far bigger than expected.

He's OK so far, but AA have really let him down. He had to pay 200 euro for a taxi to get to the garage, and is currently sat outside the garage waiting for the AA to book him a hotel - so much for the promise of looking after people. I feel I shall be removing my 33 year membership this year - I pay enough, and a week's Euro cover was over £50.
