Easter is a very long way away still

Not seen any Hot Cross buns as yet - there's time

Dear grief - why are we all turning into a bunch of crocks .

Get well soon Barrie - and see you obey those medics .

OK - my final word

I use Dropbox on my MacBook Pros and my iTouch and I also use it with a friend in London - we use it for proofreading documents - far easier than e-mailing them to each other [ oh he uses a PC with Windows on it and a Laptop with Ubuntu ] We have set it up with one shared folder . Anything added to that folder appears as by magic on all the other machines , any changes also are notified immediately and I can look immediately or wait till a more convenient time .

would Dropbox work ?

been peaceful here today - though I gather it's been a bit breezy down South.

Managed to get photos of my roof today

Oh that wee loupe in Aperture came in handy - roof is fine

Well - I'll freely admit we have some blue skies and sun today - hope it lasts and that folk get their roofs made watertight during this fine spell.

I understand that Power engineers are starting to come over from Ireland to help repairs. Scotland still has folk without power since the gales

My sister-in-law who is one street away from me lost a chimney pot which, as it slid down the roof, took a lot of slates with it , and now the chimney stack is rather wobbly

The BBC showed pics of a very modern block of flats in a mixed owners/tenancy group which is less than half a mile from me.

It's certainly been a surprise to many how badly we have been hit.

I'm on 10.6 and I'm using Aperture too

Well - my new fence is still standing

My wheelie bins have been blown away from their anchor points - left them at present while I look round for something to act as an anchor chain again

My bags all contain some extra plastic bags for nasty weather - a tip I was given at the outset . OK they are not particularly good bags - some Apple double thickness white plastic bags which will take the K-x and attached lens and some small ordinary plastic carrier bags for the other bits and bobs that you don't want getting wet .

And yes - it's it wet I do try not to take the K-x out - the wee OptioP70 if I really do need a camera then
