Luckily the time I dislocated my elbow my husband was right next to me. It happened when I fell off a bike on Vlieland when we went there to celebrate his 60th with the family.

Extremely painful as I recall, the elbow, not his birthday. It was relocated by the local doctor (come vet) after giving me some great knock out drugs. Luckily he was able to do it or it would have been the end of the weekend away and a trip back to the mainland to hospital.
It took a lot of physiotherapy afterwards to get it approaching straight again. Still hurts like h when rain is due.

I have to have predictive text turned off since it isn't bi-lingual. I hate it any way but when texting in two different languages (often in the same message :blush it is impossible to use.

I have an ancient Nokia phone. It phones, it texts, and it has bluetooth for when I drive the Prius. I don't need anything more than that. I hardly use the thing anyway.
My husband insisted I have one, in case I fall over and break a leg or something while out in the woods with the dogs. I pointed out I had managed for a long time without such a device but he got me one anyway. I hate mobile phones. It is the first thing I turn off when we go on holiday - his too, or he gets work related calls all the time.

Well - I hope that when I get to Belgium in August it will be summer .

It's dry now - but it's getting darker and we still have a wind
I hope so too, but with having had a lovely July maybe we're pushing it a bit.
Though the Ardennes often have glorious weather while we have horrible stuff and vice versa of course.
The Belgian GP at Spa is at the end of August - it often chucks it down for that. Just so you know

And even if it does rain you'll still have Belgian beer

Well done! Very nice.

I will ask how you know about Room 2

I haven't bothered with the Beeb site much since it's facelift. I can't get on with it somehow.
I shall have to get used to it again but it's a bit of a struggle.

Well we've been lucky here the last couple of days weatherwise. A few kilometres away a woman was killed when a tree fell on her, and another one was killed when a tornado hit the camp site she was staying on and blew 20 caravans into a lake. It also flattened 5 electricity pylons.
Puts my leaking roof into perspective.
We've had a nice breeze and a shower. A bit more rain forecast tomorrow then back to summer and 35 - 30C for a few more days.
At least it was reasonable cool and dry while we built a new back fence today. Got wet walking to the Chinese for dinner though.

Great sunset, but no camera with me of course.

Maybe if you can post a photo with the EXIF complete someone can see if it includes that in PhotoMe, or whether it is the nature of the X90 EXIF not to include that information?
