Gmails Won't Send

[jno]

I frequently get an error message when trying to send a Gmail, specially if it's replying to one:

"Oops... a server error occurred and your email was not sent. (#007)"

Just over the last month or so, and apparently at random. It won't save these emails as drafts, either.

Anyone know what's happening, or what I might do about it? (I have Hotmail and other email accounts but would prefer to use Gmail.)

well, I went to The Mound today and it was okay!

Sure, it's got a lot of growing of grass and plants to do, but what garden doesn't start out bare? Did visitors expect a full jungle from Day 1?

The view's nothing special though, and I wouldn't go paying to climb up and look.

hooray!! gas board have approved builder's quote and he should be contacting me "soon" If soon isn't soon enough I will give hima chase after the bank hols.

OMG a bank holiday! I'd completely forgotten. I suppose you'll be lucky to see yer man before that, but with luck soon after?

[woofgang]

yes! he phoned me yesterday and said he's has a cancellation for tuesday and could I be ready? I think he likes me already...he's got a longish drive to get here and says it will be a long days work so could he come early. I said you say a time and I will be ready....just desperate to get this all sorted.

Sounds promising woofy.
Just had the mother of all storms, seems to have cleared the air.

dear me, last week Ummmm died, this week Theland.

[woofgang]

yes sad times.
The builder man is here and the noise is horrific, like being under a giant dentist. Rab hates it and is sitting in the garden. I would take him out of the house...can't drive the car because tyres....but poor soul has got the runs and I can't let him wander down the road trailing poo. he has had a dose for the tum upset and some mild dog herbal tranquiliser so we have to sit it out now :(

[netibiza]

Oh no poor Ummmm.
Hija is coming home as needs work permit thanks to Brexit! Just tried to pay for her flight via my banking app and lo and behold it doesn't work! So have to put money in her bank!
Woofy I feel for you. Was awful when Mr N had to re do our ceiling.I was stuck in bedroom for 2 days as couldnt get past him in the lounge!! At least when he did the dining room I could walk from front door round the garden to kitchen!! Very windy and overcast here but very humid. Hope you are all OK!

[woofgang]

hello all....well it was a hellish day but he's done a lovely job. it was really odd when he'd finished, tthe silence my my ears ring. Next stop carpet!
Hope you are all well

[netibiza]

And surprise surprise I did pay for hija's flight on my banking app even though I couldn't access it!!

[woofgang]

is that a good thing Neti?
Hope you are all well?
We are having quiet times here. Can't move or tidy anything until carpet is down now. My green (garden trimmings) bags are practically full of brambles and its two weeks until they start collections again, the lawn is now short and has stopped growing. I am feeling quite empty brained so I am doing lots of vintage whodunnit reading, the Miss Silver books by Patricia Wentworth.....and that's my story really....

[netibiza]

Morning all. Stinking hot here. Sister has offered to help pay for hija to become Spanish as I think she feels guilty voting for Brexit. Went to Tesco but not much in as customs are banning lot of UK food. Its only treats for us as we have lovely fresh meat and veg here. I do miss white sliced bread though. It's a treat!! Got several different jams this time. I can still buy Dettol so am happy!!

it rained here today it was beautiful

[jno]

I've put my back out with all the moss-raking but I wouldn't be doing it in wet weather anyway, so it'll have to wait till spring. Meanwhile our osteo will be along in an hour to put my spine back in place.

Hi all
Thought I'd better show my face and see if you're all behaving yourselves.
Same old here apart from last Saturday when I actually went into a supermarket in person.That's about as exciting as it gets.
Sad to see that Ummm has died and also Theland.
We've had lovely weather all this week but I don't think it's going to last much longer.
Nice to hear your nightmare is nearly over Woofy.
Hope you and yours are all well.

[woofgang]

Hi Shaney and big waves to everyone else. We have got a cool rainy day here, its rather nice.

[netibiza]

Hello biddies. Hope you and yours are all OK! Hija arrived in Friday and got through all the Brexshit and covid hoops. So many forms to fill in. Has been so incredibly hot here. We are out yesterday on a shady terrace but I thought I was going to faint. I surrepticiously removed my bra and felt better! Had nails done today. All's well. Raining and overcast and lovely!!

covers ears against outburst of Spanish profanity

[netibiza]

Haha jno I haven't started yet!!! Its a huge tremendous headache now even though we are legal!!
Hija and I went to hairdressers. I am shorn but can cope!
