The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Squeezed in another 45 minute wander without getting wet, although there are very dark clouds lurking.

Wondered what I was getting from the NHS. An appointment for a flu jab which I have logged in and cancelled. They can poke their jabs in someone else.

Been hammering down here but easing up now.

Good afternoon all.
Just got back from Suffolk. There was some very heavy downpours, and some roads quickly became partially flooded.

Shortish snooze at 13:00 followed by a coffee (black & strong) before spending an hour in the garden pulling up weeds & reorganising a few pots..
My butt definitely runneth over!

I may have shut my eyes for.5 minutes, or 40.

Got my ride in, a really enjoyable 34miles in the sunshine but holy moly it was windy. I went from the house straight into a 25mph headwind which was brutal. Fortunately route I took kept me out of the worst of it for most of the ride but the initial section was horrific.

Are you ready to see it ???
My lughole piercing has healed nicely so I could choose (within reason) what I wanted........

Pain in the neck day

I was trying to clean the top bits of the air fryer when my wife said I should be sorting out her new laptop
which means migrating it from her old one

which seesm simple - but Microsoft have YET AGAIN conspired to make it as un-necessarily difficult as possible

I checked ou thow to change the useid it uses on mine
turns out hers is different - in spite of being on the same version

then hers is in S mode - which means Firefox doesn;t install properly so I couldn;t transfer all the bookmarks
getting it out of S mode was a right pain

and a lot of her games would not install

then coying all the desktop over somehow also copied over half of mine - which is weird as that is a different computer!
then it turns out that Argos said that the new laptop included Office365 free for a year - turns out that in the small print you have to spend an extra £40 to that
so I had to de-install it - which took a while
then got a full proper version of Microshaft Orifice for £10 off Groupon instead

eventually I think it is sorted

I had forgotten how much of a pain WIndows can be when you try to do something beyond the basic

In the old days I have set up main systems with 5000 users on them in less time!!!

and I used to do this professionally!!!
