Storm " Bram " according to Mrs Tkk.

Good morning all.
The rain is lashing down out there.

 

[PaulSB]

Good morning. Bram seems to have been and gone. Heavy rain most of the night is now just rain. The forecast is heavy rain till 14.00 and then light rain. In short. It's raining!!!!

#3SP today. I'll finish this coffee and then set off to get her. The gasman cometh for the annual boiler service. I'm hoping he'll connect the new wireless thermostat which I have failed miserably to connect.

Mrs P has a new Chromebook. It seems good, I'm becoming convinced and also beginning to accept my 10 year old laptop needs replacing. This has created three four problems:

1. Create an MS365 shared account for Mrs P ✅️

2. Transfer all the photos she has stored in Google Drive to OneDrive. This has revealed the backup to G Drive from her phone stopped in 2022. G Drive is full. I wasn't told. Google Takeout to the rescue. All photos now in OneDrive ✅️

3. Now I discover there are 4 years worth of photos and videos on her phone which have never been backed up. 58GB. This is because the auto-bacup message in 2022 was ignored - "oh, yes. I remember something about that" GRRRRR. Phone is 92% full!! Uploading to OneDrive now ✅️

4. Now comes the kicker. The G Drive photos need deleting before she can use G Drive with her Chromebook. The photos on her phone need deleting to free up space before it begins to struggle

This is the BIG ONE I'm expected to verify all the photos and videos from both sources are there. Nothing is lost. GEEZ!!! How❓️❓️❓️

I will return..........from the depths of cyberspace

Morning.
Yep, wet and very windy. Just a bit more than normal.
Having ridden yesterday it's weights today I think although I stacked away 1.6 tonnes of hardwood logs for woodburner yesterday afternoon so that was a workout in itself.

I think I can safely assume you and Mrs P are like the rest of us. Takes 1000s of photos on phone and maybe look at them once and never again.
Goodness knows how many photos I have on phone but I can say 99.9% are probably junk!

Morning all

Blowing a hoolie out there; raining as well.
They closed the lane down to our place yesterday for some roadworks that are supposed to last 2 weeks. No warning - just closed it. Only one way in and out now - which involves a 5 mile detour to do a half mile journey to the village.
Residents are not happy!
Off to Minehead later for lunch with our mates.

 

[Mo1959]

I was needing some fresh air so donned the goretex jacket, over trousers and shoes and headed out for just 50 minutes. There's no real excuse when I have decent waterproofs not to at least manage something.

 

[PeteXXX]

Breezy & a bit drizzly here in Hamtun..

 

[mikeIow]

Off for a drizzly day in London later….11am train down, home after midnight 😳
Probably wander to the Hungarian Museum (never been), a few markets, cafe, then I’ll have a couple of hours booze & banter with old workmates whilst MrsMikeIOW meets our son after work, then we will all dine later off Brick Lane.
Should be a fun day out 🍻

 

[Dave7]

Rain, rain and more rain here.
Another heavy sleep and woke at 08.30, hope I'm not developing a habbit.

 

[Tenkaykev]

Our morning walking group will probably be sticking to the local roads this morning. I will explore the trailway before set off to see if it's as muddy as I expect. From our walk we'll be heading to St Michaels in Bournemouth for our granddaughters Christmas Concert, then take her home and sort here tea out befor mum comes home, then the bus back to ours. That's basically the whole day taken up.

Chucking it down here now and not looking like going off, although it might ease to just showers by afternoon but the wind is to pick up.
