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.)

Just heard that my lovely bro is riddled with cancer and is going into palliative care. I burst into tears when his wife told me.

[jno]

oh that's so sad, neti. Is he back in England?

[netibiza]

No jno hes lived in Canada for about 60 years. Its his home.

[jno]

hopefully he's near to good care, not out on the prairies somewhere.

[netibiza]

Luckily hes in Kingston Ontario and the care home is very near to his home so his wife can get there easily. Strangely enough my birth father lives(d) in Kingston also. Weve never met.

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news Neti.Very difficult to cope with when loved ones are so far away.All you can hope is that he's comfortable and not in pain.
Nothing doing here. Nice bright day but very cold. KBO.

baby O seems to be poorly at the moment, with some bug she's picked up at nursery and passed on to her mother. They're both very floppy and miserable. We can't help, as OH is about to resume chemo. OH is also not sleeping well as they've put a picc line in one arm and a second Covid booster in the other. At least we're not up north having trees fall on us.

[netibiza]

Hello. Yes sadly children contend to pick up germs when they start school. Hope OH stays safe!
My bro is jn a hospice but seems to sleep mainly due to the meds. He hurts quite a lot sadly.
On a brighter note we had a nice unexpected day out. We just went for a drink and decided to go elsewhere and eat tapas, lots of tapas with beer. I needed that.

[netibiza]

Not contend. Tend to

oh, that sounds nice, neti. Even getting out of the house is nice.

Today is the 373rd anniversary of Charles I's execution, so I went out to watch the commemorative march

Lots of long pikes, and drums swathed in black. It was one of those wars I would like both sides to have lost, though.

[netibiza]

Jno my OH would have enjoyed that. Hes learning all about those old kings!

[jno]

the Spanish often had a better class of king.

The French had a king who thought he was made of glass

[netibiza]

Just read that jno! Oh hahaha madness indeed!

[netibiza]

My bro just died. I know its for the best but I'm heartbroken.

[jno]

oh, so sorry to hear that, neti. If he was that far gone, it was probably the best thing that could have happened, living must have been painful.

I don't suppose there's any way you can get to the funeral, so hopefully he's got friends and family on the spot to mark his passing.

[shaneystar2]

I'm sorry to hear your sad news Neti.He's at peace now and free from pain.I know how you must feel with him being so far away.
Condolences to you and your family xx

Hope little O and her Mum are feeling better now Jno. Children are the worst germ breeders going but it's the best thing for their immune system. Best wishes to your OH and hope it all goes well.
I'd have loved to see that march.
All OK here. Night all .

oh, I bought an old Punch cartoon from a gallery a couple of weeks ago. The documentation has just arrived and it turns out the previous owner was Victoria Wood.

[netibiza]

I never did like Punch!
I have an exceedingly red and painful toe and yes I do have gout but when I take my meds it gets worse!
Ronnie says he wants to spend the funeral day with my sisters but non idea when it will be.
Hope everyone is happy and healthy

[jno]

half of our household are healthy, neti. However, someone at the nursery has Colvid (not sure if a parent or child) so that will be closed for a few days.

[netibiza]

Brother was cremated the next day and only his wife allowed! I'm getting used to it now.
Other other night
I sleepwalked and took yet another does of night blood pressure pills. Its something I do. Even though we put them away I find them! The next morning I took the usual.knes and then felt dreadful. Staggering everywhere and hitting walls even though my brain was funtioning properly. I wondered if I was having a brain haemorrhage ! Felt do bad. layed down and ate whatever ny body craved ie salty and sugary things. Was horrible. But ok now. Lovely weather and washed long lounge curtains and then some beggar lights a bonfire oooh drives me mad!! Hate the bonfire smell on clothes and in the house. Stays forever!!
