Back Again

Introduction

Good Evening to all you lovely people at the Great WA Family, aa always do so hope that you are all keeping both safe and well.

After days of things not going right on the new computer when trying to fit things into my new one, I finally picked up my new machine this afternoon, and boy, did I get a shock, gone was the old tower, in its place was a slick small black box, this was my new computer. OK the old one was very old, but I expect all of you already have one like my new one!

Spent sometime getting to know it, at the moment I cannot sort out my email account, but did manage to get logged on to WA, just do not ask how?

Must confess that the speed is quite something, press a button and it appears on screen almost instantly. Will now spend a few days getting to know just what it will do, I could have a problem sorting out the email, not sure what the password is, which I set many years ago, also my mobile, which is the authenticator no longer works. Will speak to my man tomorow to see if he can help!

Having a modern machine has meant having to have a new keyboard, something to do with a different connection and WiFi, do not ask, far above my pay grade, I just push letters and words appear on the screen. But I do like it!

The Last Few Days

Being without the machine has meant a chage of direction with regard to what I have been able to do, or not do as the case maybe.

However let me start at the beginning on Wednesday I had a tooth removed, it took a mere forty five minutes to get it out, it had a double root, this is what caused the problem, have had to go back as I was in a lot of pain. Finally on anti-biotics and told what pain killers to use, the jaw and gum are still tender, but I appear to be able to control the pain, I think that discomfort is a better way to describe the problem.

It has meant a change to what I am allowed to eat, soft food only, as much as I like pasta and rice, I am beginning to get fed up with it, did have a bowl of soup at lunchtime. Also porridge for breakfast instead of Bran and Fruit. Forgot, it also cannot be hot!!

With the weather being so nice I have been able to spend a few hours in the garden each day, it is good to see gaps apearing where weeds have reigned for many months, OK a few years in some cases!! This has enabled me to continue to plan for some of the areas which I was not sure about.

Did manage to have a couple of falls, on Saturday I was pulling a weed out, and fell backwards, hitting my back on a large flower pot, did struggle to get up but made it, as on Sunday I fell forwards head butting the concrete wall as I did so, do have a lump, and it feels as if the skin was broken, but I am so full of pain kilers for my tooth that it has not seemed to cause me a problem.

Two of my paths are now clear enough to walk down, just the centre one, of course the most overgrown one to do. I have put some more shrubs into larger containers, also some of the plug plants have been potted onto a larger size of pot.

Was a little annoyed this afternoon to see that the area that I had cleared at the bottom of the Garden, is once again in need of a lot of help.

Having filled the two compost bins, I have also filled three large black bags. Think that a visit to the local Council Dump is required.

As I discover more space so I am able to visulise where the new perenials will go. In Sammy's Garden I planted a pack of Dutch Iris, I split them into two clumps, they are all showing well with one group beginning to flower, at the moment these are mainly a deep Blue, wih one White one, but they do look nice. Must attack that garden next.

The Next Few Days

I do have two Legion meetings this week, one is a Committee Meeting the other a Branch one, the second one I could arrive late at as I have been invited to attend the Ceremony of Installing the new Council Chairman, I normally attend the drinks reception afterwards, but will have to give it a miss this year, what a shame as they notmally serve a decent drop of Red Wine!!

Also have a Cricket Match starting on Thursday, nothing for days, then everything at once. still at least we have the One Day International between England and the West Indies to enjoy the week after, It is a ladies game, which I really enjoy, as they are usually very good.

Once I get organised on here it will be time to see if I can do some work done, do have a USB ready to study if need be when I am on hoiday in Torquay, roll on a week on Sunday, I really am looking forward to this, as I intend to make it a proper holiday, in one of my favourite places.

Having said that I have already looked at a piece of work which I have and done a ittle studying, or should I say revising. Also beeen able to visit one of my websites to check that I can, will play with some of the other ones later. This will hopefully enable me to make a decision which site to concntrate on next. Do realise that I will have to search for some material which I have, or did have, but we will see.

Think that will do for tonight, all being well will be back on Sunday, but it could be late.

Be Happy, Healthy and Wealthy.

Please do stay safe and take care.

God Bless.
