Thanks @geefullgood evening all
4.8 today
definitely feel less limp today
sunday lunch at mum's with roast chicken wrapped in thick smoked baconfollowed by LC chocolate pudding with homemade custard. I might try making the custard with added whey protein just to see how it works out
We managed to get some grass cut at mum's after lunch since it hasn't rained for a couple of days so we're feeling positively angelic
Hope your day is treating you kindly
@gennepher - descriptive narrative art todaysounds like a win for the waterproofing
those 'white messages' are a pain though.
@Krystyna23040 - hope the bluebells were spectacular. they are lovely 'en masse' we have a few in our garden just coming out
@dunelm - interesting idea doing a group of small doodles and a good way of testing out ideas
I had no idea you could get waterproof fabric in so many designs
@lindisfel - my dad's friend had a saying suitable for such occasions 'Oh man, ah must've weed on a fairy!'
art bit -
didn't do any art yesterday, just went to bed early
In this painting I was trying out blending some colours in the sky to see how they behaved on this paper, interestingly the blue sank into the paper more leaving my sky a bit pinkish

I have enough of a job @dunelm pressing the correct key on my Pixel phone, let alone find the hidden symbols....Oh blast - now I have to go through the keyboard on my Samsung phone - and I can’t even see the keys or work them with my sausage fingers

I know Google does touch to typeI have enough of a job @dunelm pressing the correct key on my Pixel phone, let alone find the hidden symbols....
Is there a way of verbally doing this......
I have enough to do today @jjraak without disappearing down this rabbit hole...And now you got me looking at my mobile.
android if that makes a difference.
while i knew some letter keys added alternatives
NEVER realised holding down the numbers offered the fractions..
in fact i then found the top row of letters actually swaps to the corresponding number.
i rarely have the numbers displayed, as an option in setting,
so switch between letter numbers which can be irritating.
in fact i have now discovered..(only been using android sine it began..)
that IF you press the Comma icon ( , ) next to ?1234, you get to setting and from there can press advanced.
this option allows for preferences.
low down on page is 'Long press for symbols hint'
and all the alternative choices appear by the letter screen most people start with.
AND if you do as you & @dunelm suggest (=\< )you can get the copyright, registered trademark & a TICK.
ones i have often wanted to use in quirky posts but struggled finding.
And in amongst that lot, a little button pressing got me to discover the • icon, IF long pressed offers up the card suits.♣♠♥♦
( How strange.
On Mobile it's in the appropriate colours.)

DCUK, where every days a school day..
I am just testing this out @jjraak speaking in one of my notepad apps. And it does do the degree symbol, at least on the app but not on here. I am dictating this on here. Today the temperature is 20°. Oh yes it does when you say 20°. Now that's cool. I've definitely gone down this rabbit hole for the day...I know Google does touch to type
Where you speak & the text appears on screen
You do need to pronounce punctuation, as in "comma" " full stop"
Not sure it would understand "degree" as a symbol, though
My phone is an Android also. Thank you for this info. Really helpful. Have bookmarked the link as I am sure I won't remember it all.And now you got me looking at my mobile.

DCUK, where every days a school day..
Wow, so tiny!good morning everyone from a damp and dreary looking start here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of spiced chicken with some green stuff and some of those zero noodles clocked in at 5.2 this am.
“More paint” was the cry so I expect a trip to the paint emporium this morning to gaze in wonder at the colour wall. Handles - no not handles for forks or even four candles - door handles - one fitted and six awaiting to door fitting bloke (whenever that is - must ask the project manager).
Not much art today - four little doodles, each just over an inch high - playing with ideas for some landscapes. Have a smashing day, time for some koffy.

Isn't it great how we swap information on this thread.Oh no, now I have just spent some time looking at every key on the IPad - some interesting symbols appear - every day a learning experience.
I have enough to do today @jjraak without disappearing down this rabbit hole...
It is all stuff I have wanted to find...
So, thank you...
So I stumbled into a thread with a crowd of folk pressing keys on various devices and intoning: Ho, ho young masters, what have we here? How very strange. Meanwhile in Suffolk we have a more traditional event.
@jjraakI know you use apple,
So this may not be useful as it's for Google.
Not a powerdesk worker in an office, so found Google docs really simple to use and fulfilled my needs adequately
Here's a link to how that speak to text works.

Edit.
Sorry @gennepher , posted as you were it seems
Not one to hang about, are ya..
I have shouted at Apple's Siri before now, and Siri actually remonstrates with me saying there is no need for that kind of language because Siri is only trying to help me. And I ended up in a discussion with Siri.... The Android's voice assistant thingy @dunelm doesn't do this kind of interaction...I have shouted at my phone many times but it ignores me - probably something like Google assistant but I don’t know.
The strength of the forum, I thinkIsn't it great how we swap information on this thread.
Thank you @gennepher
