The good morning/afternoon/evening thread.

Morena everyone, I hope you have a good day..

It's another nice warm day so I may take a laptop outside shortly and get some fresh air while I work, it seems a shame to waste a nice sunday stuck inside.. Two weeks today and our clocks go forward an hour, so longer evenings again, something I'm lookong forward to even if we lose an hours sleep the night before..

It looks like I've got a good day to pop out for a while later, spring may have been a month late arriving, but we're getting some nice days to make up for it being late.. I may take a laptop outside again later rather than sit inside..

I thought we were in for an overcast day today, so I got out and got my shopping done, now I've been home for an hour it's decided to rain, with the sun trying to come out I thought the day would improve, it just shows how changeable spring is here.. The good thing was that I got home before the rain came and I don't have to go out again today, that means a nanny nap after lunch for this old fella.. Smile

I did have to spend the evening hunting for smilies last night, Tinypic decided to close down without any notice here, so most were lost.. It took me the better part of 10 years to collect the lot I'd uploaded, once I get them all back, or as many as I can I think I'll store them on disc and on one of the portable hard drives..

It looks like it'll be a much needed quiet day here today, I feel like I've been running round in ever decreasing circles for the past few weeks, so a day off sounds good.. I was going to go smiley hunting again last night but ran out of steam by dinner time last night, maybe lter today or this evening seeing there's nothing on TV worth watching..

There was nothing on TV last night, so in between trying to replace lost smilieys I did a little research om the NZ wars, I'm going to have to think of new search questions now as I keep getting what I've already found, it is kind of interesting looking though, it's amazing how much is online nowadays, I'm relearning stuff too, that's got to be a good thing.. Smile

It's quite a pleasant day here at present, if it stays fine and warm I may go over to the local park after lunch and give the ducks a loaf of stale bread that's been in the fridge a bit long, I can watch everyone rushing to and fro too, I may have enough to get a newspaper and have a read while there too..

I've just had a moan to a friend about all the pollen around in spring here, it drives me crazy, I had 2 antihistamines and I'm still sniffling, I might take some Paracetamol, that helps dry out the nose a bit..

On the up side, daylight saving starts tonight here, so longer evenings starting tomorrow I'll just have to remember it'll still be dark when I get up in the morning, that always fools me for the first day or two, I think I've made a mistake setting the alarm, lol..

We have our first day of daylight saving and it's a fine day, they're saying we can expect 26 degrees later, I may be able to not wear a jersey for a change which will be good after a long cold winter.. I should be used to going from light mornings to dark when daylight saving starts, but it still catches me out a little, we've had daylight saving for about 45 years now, so we should be used to that little glitch, it won't be to long and sunrise will be at about 5.15 a.m.. Being the second most easterly city in the country we get the morning sun a bit earlier than almost everywhere else..

As usual the first day of daylight saving fooled me yesterday, the alarm went off at 5.45 a.m. and I thought I'd set it wrong seeing it was dark, luckily I realised in a coupe of minutes we'd gone forward an hour, I should be used yo it given I've had every year of daylight saving since it started over 40 years ao.. I was okay this morning though..

Just waiting for a visitor who was supposed to be here at 8.30 a.m.. so far 1 hour 50 minutes late, GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..

I'm a bit late this morning, my help was late getting here and had to go shopping, the shopping's done and put away and a few towels washed and on the line, hopefully it won't rain for a couple of hours, by that stage the washing will hopefully be dry.. Time for a rest and a coffee.. Smile

The weather sure is changeable this spring, we went from fine and warm yesterday morning to rain, hail, thunder and lightening at about 4.00 p.m. there was even a mild quake for good measure, I'm so used to quakes now that unless it's a magnitude 4,8 or bigger I don't notice them which is possibly not a good thing.. I haven't seen a spring with such changeable weather for quite a number of years, we can go from fine to wet or wet to fine in one day, but not usually four seasons in one day, hopefully yesterday was it for a good few more years, it has got me wondering if there's some truth in the climate change theory all the scientists are talking about..

It's one of those days here today, every time I try getting online someone knocks on the door or there's another email to reply to, I've closed the emails now, ignorance is bliss, lol.. At least the load of towels is washed and on the line, they should be almost dry by lunch time..

The last 2 days have been like 4 seasons in one day, start nice, then deteriorate, really strange for here, we usually get spring as warmer weather with a bit of rain thrown in, the last two days have gone from warm to wet, then cold, I can't remember the last spring like it..

Another weekend is upon us, it feels like it should only be tuesday or wedneday, the weeks are going to fast for my liking, I'm not sure if it's an age thing or a being really busy thing or a mix of both.. No ones working today, so hopefully I can get a little research done today and tomorrow and not be interrupted, hopefully I'll get more added in the NZ section..

Another sunday is upon us already, I thought about going to church this morning, but the weathers not the best, it could still rain any time, I suspect if I did go to church for anything other than the usual funeral these days, something drastic may happen.. Sad Sadly I've had my fill of funerals of late, I've lost quite a number of family and friends now, so not going to church is almost a welcome thing now, sadly getting older isn't all beer and skittles..

I had hoped on adding more to the NZ section yesterday, finding things online can be a little difficult at times, Google likes very precise questions or search peramiters, don't enter the right things and we don't get what we want, still, I'll keep looking again today and tomorrow as well if possible and hopefully get a few more things added.. Smile

Seeing as we have a nice day this old mans been busy getting washing done, a load of towels are on the line, the clothes will go out shortly, on a day like this everything will be dry by lunch time, if it's fine tomorrow I'll do the bedding as part of my spring clean.. I like things like towels and the sheets hung on the line, it saves using power on the clothes dryer too.. Smile

Well, the shopping's done and a load of washings out on the line, that should be dry in a couple of hours with it being so warm and breezy this morning, it's now time for a coffee and a break after getting the last of this weeks bills paid, hopefully I'll get left alone for 30 minutes or so..

I didn't get much done online yesterday with being so busy with real life probs, at least things like the shopping, bills getting paid, washing getting done and a couple of neighbours with computer probs, they're sorted now, I hope, so today will hopefully see me get a little research done in between doing other things.. This old fella was told retirement meant being able to take it easy and do things in your own time, to date life has been fairly busy, I guess at least I'm dong things I didn't have time to do while I was working, especially as I worked 16 hour days, finally doing those things is bringing some pleasure to life..

It looks like it may be a quiet day here today, I'll be happy if it is, then I can sit in the sun and hopefully do some research, after I've caught up on my emails, there seems to be a few to reply to this morning unfortunately, I have to send some so I can reply to others which could take time.. Sad

Last night I was thinking I'll get online early today, then Microsoft let the updates for Windows 10 out, so I had to do a disc clean and a defrag on this one to use it this morning, the Windows 10 laptops just been updated now and is getting a defrag.. If I'm up to it I'll update the other laptop after dinner tonight, it needs doing as I missed last months updates.. The joys of having 3 computers, it's handy in some ways, but it does create more things to do..

So much for getting a lot done yesterday, by the time I got a disc clean and defrag done on this after getting updates the night before, then deciding to update both laptops and tablet the morning was gone, the old Windows 7 laptop hadn't been updated for 3 months so really needed it, especially as it gets used a lot, mainly if I decide to sit out in the sun and work.. It's handy having an extra comp around, but 2 spares and the tablet mean more work keeping them all updated, yesterday saw me get through a good 4 GB of data just on updates for the month, at least they're good for another month now though, hopefully Microsoft won't decide to release any late updates this month..

I had hoped for a quiet weekend, but I got caught by a couple of neighbours who needed help with their computers, so I eded going off and helping out yesterday, I'm not sure they're fixed properly but at least they can get online and do their emails and such.. Hopefully today is a quiet day and this old man gets his after lunch nanny nap..

It loos like this old fella will be stopping home today, the weathers not to good at present, it'd be my luck if I went to far it'd pour down, so I may stay in and try to get a little research done at some point today, hopefully I'll find more to add to the NZ section..

Well, I'm not long home from getting my shopping, luckily I got given a ride to the shops and back, so I didn't get to wet from the outing, surprising as it's pouring out, and blowing a gale.. I'm now happy to finish the coffee I just made and stay in by the heater for the res of the day, hopefully no one will come visiting wanting me to go out again and do something for them for the rest of the day, the aches and pains are playing up a bit to much in this cooler wet weather..
