I'd hoped to post this in time to wish you all a Happy Spring Solstice, but our laptop has developed a bizarre problem which makes typing almost impossible. Yes, a naughty homunculus living within is inserting square brackets after every couple of characters. When these are deleted, s/he takes umbrage & exacts revenge by producing scores more brackets, rows of the bloody things & on one occasion, a full screen! So far, the Big Hairy Half of the Relationship's inspired high tech response to this has been to remove the 'a' key. Result? Well, yes, if you were looking for the added frustration of being without a major vowel to go along with the chore of having to delete around 93,000,000 brackets every time you want to type an email, then that's job done! Grrrrr!
So a quick post from me this week, with some pics of our garden to celebrate Spring:
These pink primroses breed like Easter bunnies. The original plant was given to me by my Mum for my old garden in Nottingham. I potted it up when we moved & it has founded a dynasty. I divide them up most years for heaps of free ones.
More free plants (my favourite kind!) are our wild primroses (Primula vulgaris) which self-seed all over the garden, including in the lawn.
The bulbs are looking cheery too.
And the flowering currant is livening up a dull stretch of hedge.
In the greenhouse, the sweet peas are pretty much ready to plant out............
.......and there are seeds sprouting up all over.
I've concentrated on flowers today, but the veggies are cracking on too. They can wait till next time.
Now, for those of you who may have been wondering how Albert Whiskers has been getting on with the bargainmongous claw-scratching pad he helpfully tested last time....... I'm afraid I have to report that he is still chiefly using it as a cat-nip delivery device. This means that instead of contributing to his bed & board by guarding my broad beans from the robbing beaks of wood pigeons, he's been spending rather a lot of his time like this...........
Oh well, I suppose at least to our knowledge, he's not going off to the all-night garage afterwards for carry-outs of crisps & dodgy pasties......
Till next time,
Belated Spring Solstice blessings to all,
C x
What a lovely splash of colour! Cheered me right up :-) That and AW doing his Magic Roundabout Dylan routine....LOL
ReplyDeleteHi, we had a similar issue with a pc in work. The typing went all crazy and started inserting extra letters. It was fixed by re-downloading the keyboard driver. Perhaps this may apply to the laptop too?
