Thank you for the link George. Fascinating. I can see I shall have to try to get to Oxford before next June.

Maybe those burst pipes are worse than he thought. Hopefully he's OK and will judge when he can.

Glad you are warm again TT.
We've had snow again today. My husband is stuck at work at the moment. He will try and get home later or else look for a hotel.
More snow expected on Wednesday.

No they don't. They are less active in winter but do not hibernate - that's why they make stores of nuts in autumn - so they have a larder to raid in the winter.
I was watching a couple of red squirrels in the woods today. Or I was until the dog chased them up a tree.

I still post occasionally - see this thread.

But I had some photos stolen from another forum so I decided not to post a lot any more.

If we tell you that he'll read it and beat you to it .

In PSE6 an easy way to do it is to create a copy layer (ctrl-J).
Press B for the brush tool and choose a medium soft edged brush. In the option bar change the mode pop-up menu to colour for the brush tool.
Set the foreground colour to black (D) and begin painting on the photo. it will remove the colour from all the areas except the area you want to keep - don't brush over that.
Not perfect but a good starting point.

There are other ways and probably much better ones, but that is the one I found.

Does anyone know where in the UK, or Europe (NL even better) you can get pre-scored card blanks for ink-jet printers?
I know you can get them in the US (Red River for instance) but the shipping is ridiculous due to the weight.

Just so I can print out my own cards occasionally instead of always having to use a service for it. I'd still have the Crimble cards done professionally due to the sheer numbers involved, but it would be nice to print the occasional birthday card, or a thank you card at home.

They are nice enough shots - if HM Grannie took them with her compact - but no doubt the guy got paid a fortune for them.

I think if someone posted something similar here there would be plenty of C&C, most of it not very complimentary!
