And it's supposed to be heading to our side of the country too

This is getting truly ridiculous

It's being so cheerful as keeps them going

Thanks - that was the sort of comment I was looking for - it's actually 1 out of , I think, 3 I took of the group - one is certainly more face-on though other folk with cameras are in shot

I can certainly deal with the cropping

This is the sort of thing I'd now probably be better using a tripod for , but with the problem of flying with very reduced cabin baggage limits [ think tiny plane ] makes my tripod a no-no. This was a fly in one day , fly out next day, and 2 two hour services in-between type of trip. I had not expected to be able to get a group shot at all - I was set up for all the internal stuff.

I've a question re 'sharpening' in PP but I'll put that elsewhere

At least you had some s**. I've forgotten what that looks like.

Torrential rain - seen plenty of episodes of that today

My PC is looked after by a mate in London using Logmein - though I was very proud of myself in May - I actually booted the beast up [ can manage that without problems ] and renewed it's AV !! I really was brave - normally I never touch it - it's for daughter #1 and her son when they come to stay and is always very very carefully gone through once they have gone South again . We were impressed the first time grandson was up on his own and allowed free use of it with no supervision - no dodgy Sites viewed , and no nasties found - My Mate [ actually my GodPapa almost half my age ] really went through it on that occasion . Could it have been clean 'cos he was warned that for every toolbar we found on the machine he would lose a finger sans use of anaesthetic ?

I have to admit - it has amused me Tony. First time I've had the 'supervisor' call me back. It was just the wrong day to try it on - I really am not in the best of moods - heaven help the next person who cold calls me today.

I really hate folk who try and bamboozle me. I'm a technodiot , to a degree a technophobe BUT I do know when my pooter is clean , and I DO know the difference between Virii and malware . I'm careful , never open attachments from folk I don't know, and take what precautions I can

And now it's RANT time

B….. 'computer technology ' firms

I cut the caller off in full flow as she was telling me about all the nasty things that were being downloaded onto my Computer. It had started out quite nicely and I was prepared to play till I was bored.

But when I did as she asked I couldn't see the Icon at the bottom L hand corner of my screen that I should have done [ Surprise surprise ! ] So she asked me what I was seeing since she could see all these nasties on my poorer. I then told her that if she could see them then she knew what I was looking at. Her not happy THEN light dawned " Are you using a Mac ? "so I told her that I was giving her no information since she knew exactly what was going on, after all she was telling me that she could see my computer .

Her very unhappy [ Script doesn't cope with bolshie me - and I'm not in the best of moods today anyway ] she started shouting at me and wouldn't let me get a word in - so I shouted back and told her to 'shut up and listen'

I then told her I didn't need her help and cut her off [ phone was on speaker mode ]

10 mins later her 'supervisor' phoned me - said they were very worried about my pooter !! She was telling me , again, about all the dangers to which I was exposed and this test they wanted to run would only take 2 mins of my time and would show me all the nasties on my poorer. I told her I wasn't interested and she carried on

Guess what ? I did it again - cut the call . BTW I do have a copy of the number they called me from if you want it

Agreed - we have lost a great man there

Did it go missing Barrie ? - Perhaps you should ask HG

Sounds as if he's taking his pre-medication
