JUST STUFF FOR A FRIDAY

 

 

 

Hello everyone,

My PC was messing me about this afternoon...and very annoying it was to say the least.  I don`t know why it does this but every now and again, when I  highlight a shortcut, all the other shortcuts try to open as well.  I then had to open the programs via the start menu, being very careful not to open anything else at the same time.  When I opened one of my graphic files and tried to rename something, it renamed not just the one but all of the graphics in that folder...I was furious.  At least thirty of them have already been used and would be used again but now I had no idea of their original names, leaving me to delete them from the FTP space and to remove the red crosses from my journal pages.  I`ve no idea why this happenns sometimes, it happened in December and all my Christmas graphics were affected.  There`s obviously a problem but I`ve no idea what caused it.

I1ve now got the buggy/stroller for taking Roman out in.  It`s in brilliant condition and by the looks of it I doubt it was used very much.  I thought it would need a good clean but it really doesn`t need it.  I was practising folding it up and putting it back up again this morning, they are not as easy as when my children were babies, nowadays you need a degree in engineering to sort them out!  Kerry asked if I wanted to swop it for the one she has but I told her to forget it, this Nana is keeping it right here at her house...lol!  I`m already for our Little Man to come over for the evening.  I have his food ready and his cot prepared, his toys are downstairs and his Grandad is ready to play with him...what more can he want?!

I went into town and had that cup of coffee with Jim in Marks.  The nice lady who works in the cafe always asks after Roman.  She adores him and wondered why he wasn`t there today.  Kerry had taken him to a Mother and Baby class but she wasn`t very impressed by it.  She said the women there didn`t talk to each other, and even though she walked it with a big smile and a good morning, they barely acknowledged her.  She did try to talk to one mother and all she got were monosyllibic answers so she gave up trying.  It was a pity because the activities were great fun and Roman enjoyed it all.  She is now going to try another club on Tuesday or Wednesday, hopefully the people there will be friendlier!

Anyway, I must go and read some journals before Little Man arrives, hopefully I`ll be back when he goes to bed tonight.  Have a lovely weekend and take care.  Bye for now.
