Morning all - so far dry roads and just grey, though the sun is trying to peep out.
6.3 this morning after an uneventful night and a fairly good sleep except for a nightmare.
Had a complete meltdown yesterday over the database and Christmas cards. The problem is that my database is on a laptop we inherited that has a completely unfamiliar version of Microsoft Office and basically I have only used the database half a dozen times in the 10 years I've been retired and that was using Office 2003. Office has changed out of all recognition since 2003. Cannot make a query run cos I haven't a clue how - we can't get the help files as the laptop doesn't have up to date anti-virus so we don't want it connecting to the internet and frankly I don't want the hassle - just getting too old to be bothered. So after an argument with hubby and bursting into tears I dried my eyes, pulled myself together and decided to just email people with our newsletter apart from 3 cousins who's phone numbers and emails I don't have, to whom I will send actual cards. To be fair some of the people we've been sending cards to every year we don't see from one year to the next and one or two we've not seen for over 20 years. Those who live locally will get an actual card handed to them.
@TinaD I meant to say yesterday and forgot, why don't you write down what you want to say to Taras, then run it through
Google Translate and show him the translation on your laptop/phone/tablet or whatever you use? He could use it to talk to you too!
@eggyg and@Eternal422 many congrats on your HSs.
@Eternal422 loved the compressed story of A Christmas Carol... very clever!
@Grannylorraine your wreath is just beautiful!
