We're not fussed about the smilies.. I also found them baffling at first. Then I saw some used by others and got to know which ones I like.

Here you can upload several pics all in one go .. Brilliant! Click on the image to enlarge it. No need to go to another page. Such a CONVERSATION in a private way. Well, vishu taught me that .. Teenagers are always expert at those things. I was a teenager once, but I was terribly dumb.

You can change the font size, or control + scroll on the mouse to make the page bigger, but you might have a more serious scroll disease!

It won't be sweet, you can decide how much to put in. I do a lot at a time, just to save on the electric. So i put a lot in. Rhubarb juice is good for arthritis.:)

Well the thing is, i haven't got a proper one, but what I've done is, cut up 3lb10oz of rhubarb and add 340gr of honey. It won't taist sweet. You can eat the rhubarb as well as the juice.I don't like very sweet things. It's better with honey.

Those Roses are awesome!
Already harvesting Rhubarb over there, nice. Three months to wait here.
Went bird feeding this morning. Mr. and Mrs. Woodpecker were very hungry and obvious I came along when they were have a domestic spat. One would land on my hand and one on my upper arm, then they would yell and cuss each other out until one or the other flew off.

LOL!

That made my day! I need to have a look at one of our videos taken in Fountaine Abbey in which pair of woodpeckers behaved in a similar way, but I think in our case, one issued an order and they both flew away!

What time is it in Canada now, Johnny?

Hello Alp,
It's 3:40pm right now.

So I have this big round clock perched on top of my desk here. It's suppose to hang on the wall but I have never bothered. So the battery died last week and then there was the time change as well. I put a new battery in and put it back up in front of me. For days I have been puzzled with it. Now it's in Roman numerals which I really don't pay attention to, I just go by where the hands are really. What's the heck is wrong with it? It would be say 5:15 and the little hand hadn't made it to the 5 quite yet. Yesterday I'm sitting at the computer here and just staring at it. Well how come I can't read the words printed on it. It's from Portugal but this strange.
Suddenly I discover what has been wrong for the past several days. I've had the thing upside down!!
