Fantastic post with a perfect ending.
Fantastic post with a perfect ending.The KittenCat was all ready to post here asking to be taken in by one of the cats here for a respite from all the disorder and stress in the air here.
But I suddenly feel calm for a change. I visited the bank manager, and after half an hour an a call to a bank technician somewhere else he was able to get me access to online banking. Everyone there was very nice; it is great to deal with people who seem to like their work and get along well with each other.
Then after i got home and was looking through my files for yet another financial statement, I panicked because the Post Office e-mail said it had been delivered on Saturday and i was afraid I'd thrown it out accidentally with the catalogues. So, another phone call to another company, one that does not send out duplicates.
?????
So I decided to check the mail I never got around to checking yesterday, down in the lobby, and ... there it was!! Along with a piece of mail for someone else who lives here and whose apartment number and name are nothing like mine. Knowing how she must be feeling, I turned it in to the security person at the lobby desk.
Then on the way home from all that, I ran into a neighbor and asked about the "escort" service she organizes, which innocently enough provides escorts to people having outpatient surgery, etc., and the upshot of that is that she is going to drive me not only to get my driver's license tomorrow but to the store I have been wanting to visit for 7 years now.
Yay!!!!!
Hey thats a great day’s work and no the KC loves you unconditionally and will be good. The disruption to her schedule and you being busy wont have gone down well but we know felines and she will be just fine. She’s just stamping her paw but it will all come good.The KittenCat was all ready to post here asking to be taken in by one of the cats here for a respite from all the disorder and stress in the air here.

I wanted to call him Krug (another Champagne) but Mrs MC thought it a bit rough, so Moet was agreed. Thanks for your good wishes I will pass them on to him.Moet (great name btw!).

A long time since I walked over one of those kind of bridges @Muddy CyclistHere is my daily watercolour sketch, inspired by a waterfall I pass on my Muddy Cycle Rides. Old Victorian bridge with wonderful dressed sandstone blocks, goes int farmers field, nothing to stop you falling off, good old sensible Victorian health and safety, use you common sense. A5 about 45 minutes..

@gennepher and @PenguinMum the Daffs I posted a few days ago were real, that's why I was so flabbergasted far too early but there they were in MILs garden.
@DJC3 Moet is a typical Labrador puts up with anything he's a good old boy.
Absolutely brilliant @SaskiaKCThe KittenCat was all ready to post here asking to be taken in by one of the cats here for a respite from all the disorder and stress in the air here.

I like to use a very large brush that comes to a fine point and holds lots of paint, not in picture. You probably note the rigger a great brush for the finer tree branches and grass. For interest I use Coteman Watercolour Pan sets for my sketch books but Aquarelle French Artist Watercolour Tubes for my Watercolour Paintings for the good pigment they provide. My sketch pads are Seawhite Watercolour but my favoured paper for full size paintings is Arches Cold Pressed 300 gem 100% Cotton.Love seeing your brushes!
@gennepher so pleased that Popeye is OK. It was a horrible thing to have happened.Just checked on Popeye again. He seems perfectly content on that radiator shelf watching the cat flap. Maybe he is planning his revenge as well.
Used to drink my coffee black, but noted staining to my teeth, my dentist blamed the black coffee and recommended adding just a splash of milk (prior to dx) to stop this happening. As it was needed to have a bicarbonate of soda deep clean of my teeth to get rid. (Of the staining, not my teeth)I’ve been trying and failing for a few months with black coffee, then suddenly it was ok and I wasn’t struggling to drink it, in fact I actually think I prefer it now!! Same happened with sugar in tea, I tried for years to give it up, then decided enough was enough and stuck with it and now I can’t imagine drinking tea with sugar. Good luck, keep at it, even if you only manage half a cup black, by the time you put cream in, you’ll only be using half as much.
So pleased that I am not the only person who has done that. At least I won't run out of chocolate for absolutely ages.re the chocolate on the shelf ... BTDT.
Aha ... I have just Googled FUBB
Bless him if I claimed the TV for any length of time he would have withdrawal symptoms - he is addicted to detective shows only surpassed by cartoons oh and perhaps football. I know, strange combination. I have now resorted to an old Windows 7 laptop with a faulty keyboard - using an external keyboard and still trying to catch up.
I have done that before and do it now...using an external keyboard @RyhiaBless him if I claimed the TV for any length of time he would have withdrawal symptoms - he is addicted to detective shows only surpassed by cartoons oh and perhaps football.

Thanks @Krystyna23040@gennepher so pleased that Popeye is OK. It was a horrible thing to have happened.
Thank you @PenguinMumHey @gennepher lovely photo and he is an amazing boy well done to him and you.

Hope you get your computer sorted soon. Really good FBG.Had a bit of an accident with my laptop, my fault . Screen was dicey and kept sticking and fading. I got fed up with holding my thumb at the side of the screen to get it to work. I decided I would try to fix it. Now don't have a workable screen duh!. Need to have another try at fixing it--my eyes are just not good enough to connect the screen connector, get it fixed by a professional or buy a new device. I like the 3rd option the best - any excuse! Currently using a really old Windows 7 machine which has a knackered keyboard, Wasn't worth fixing at the time but pleased I kept it. Having to use an external keyboard which is a pain as having to switch between mouse and alternate keyboard when I want to do anything. Typing on proper keyboard comes out something like this... ty[[[lnd,s3ts3,tj;ltjs3/
After admitting to that piece of stupidity back to FBGs which were 5.5 this morning.
