Yes another new thread. A gentle chat for old friends and new

Oh Kaimoana what a shame, I wonder how we could cope with this. I wonder if I could copy them and post them in an email to you. I don’t think you have to sort of phone we can leave messages on although you might.
So difficult. Anyone got any ideas what we can do. Big love and hugs from us all.
I sympathise with Theo. That’s how I feel too.

There IS a way to record audio files to send as a Web link exactly as you might link to something else such as an article.

Maybe they could be sent by PM?
I will look tomorrow to see if I can find the info

I hope Kaimoana can keep connected. There must be a way.

Wonderful to hear that Jan and Nfk have met up 😊

My lodgers have just sent a photo of a leak in their bathroom ceiling! I can't do anything about it in the middle of the night.

My DS is caught up in an emergency at Edinburgh airport so his flight home has been delayed by hours. Poor chap and all the others.
It's caused by a stray abandoned rucksack I think. 😟

This is after I had a lovely day out on a bird watching trip in the Forth.

I wish for a quieter life.

You are so sweet but the problem is my eyes and you can't change that. I can still, just about, see my special keyboard but not waht it produces and bigger is not better.
So I am resifning myself to giving up my PC.

This also means I cant pay bills, as I have for so long. My son is going to take over that duty but of course not this chat

I think I have pushed on further than I expected but I just cannot do it any longer.
I have loved and appreciated you all and what we have shared over the yars.
Much love, thanks and a few tears.

I tried to change the font to make it bigger, but it won't.

Kaimoana - get your son to have a look at this and see if it's compatible with your machine:

Wouldn't that be good if Kaimoana's. DS could help her to keep connected.
We miss her already 😞

The local art class asked to paint in my garden this morning. It was lovely. I joined in but not having painted for years, my efforts were dismal.

I enjoyed it. Our tutor is a Fife based artist who I knew when he was a baby but haven't seen since he was 2! His parents used to came to our Quaker meeting before they moved away.

I had another house viewing today but they didn't stay long. Their little children were very demanding. 😁

One of my first memories was tugging at DM's skirt and pulling her away from my kindergarten teacher with all the tugging power a 3 yr old could muster. I was trying to stop them talking. It didn't work but I was sympathetic today.

Oh Kaimoana this group wouldn’t be the same without you, We’ll have to find some way to keep in touch.
Grammaretto glad you had a nice day painting. Hope your Ds gets home safely.
Notsoaghetti and NFK thank you so much for trying to help Kaimoana we need to find a way.
Thinking caps on lobstars.
