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.)

looks like we have thunderbolts and lightning very very frightening tomorrow.

[netibiza]

Ummm! Looks like my new phone doesn't spell any better! Bu4 st least it doesn't freeze up on Ab!

[netibiza]

How are you doing jno? Can you actually walk out and about? Apart from the thunderbolts and lightning! Still hottish and sweaty here and we don't like it! Met friends for a Chinese lunch and thr wine hit me so wasn't a late one!

[jno]

walking quite slowly, neti, so that people think I am old and feeble, which I suppose I am, but I am not struggling to breathe the way I was a month ago. That'll be the beta blocker, I suppose. But as the local station has a long flight of stairs, no lift or escalator, I'm not going anywhere much.

Haven't actually seen any thunderstorms yet but lots of rain. My sis is getting qute a lot of La Nina in Australia too.

[netibiza]

Goodness me jno your sis went there quickly! Thought it took months to apply! Good luck to her!

[netibiza]

Lovely weather here now. Warm ! I'm still in spring cleaning mode!

[jno]

she already lived there for years before she got married, neti, and was earlier married to an Australian; and owns property on the north shore (or she will in about 300 years when the mortgage is paid off). I don't think she's a citizen or anything but she's allowed in.

Hello biddies. A ok? I've been to kidney specialist and it hasn't worsened. One kidney not working 100% (though how they know this is beyond me) but alls well.sunny and unseasonably warm but great for drying the washing!

[jno]

a bit too chilly for drying the washing here now but it's been quite warm. Of course this is bad news for the dormice!

Hello.. just been for a vietnamese meal but wasnt overly impressed
It was all a bit bland! Still warm and its November. I want cold!!

as both power sockets behind the fridge have failed, I got Saimir the electrician in to sort them out. He found they were both working fine, so I don't know. I know the lights went off and the ice cream turned to liquid, but they must have been temporary power cuts relating to one fridge. Very baffling.

[netibiza]

It's strange here jno if that happens, we just plug it in the opposite way (but we can with 2 pin plugs) and amazingly it works!

[jno]

all very baffling.

It looks as though the jnrs will be evicted for a while in spring, as there are construction flaws in their tower block (discovered in the wake of the Grenfell fire, after which every tower block in town was supposed to be checked). They have no idea when or for how long though.

Goodness me, he is 40 next week. Another couple of decades and he will be 60 and thinking about retirement.

[netibiza]

Hija is 36 now!!
She has fled the nest yet again . Takes some getting used to . Empty nest syndrome yet again!!
Will the jnrs move in with you jno?

[jno]

no, they want to stay close to the nursery, which is next door to their own building; baby O seems to love it there. I have offered but I'm a good 10 miles away. I think they will probably be offered something similar to their own flat, maybe even better, nearby - there's a lot of new buildings going up.

[netibiza]

I take it they are on in London?
I am actually on a bus to Ibiza to the dentist. Parking is so bad its not worth the hassle

[netibiza]

So rarely come to ibiza that I shopped up a storm before dentist. Great filling and not painfull €100!

they are south of the river, where human life is cheap... Actually a lot of it is very expensive these days, with developments all along the river. They're not far from Battersea, where the power station is being turned into posh flats and the US embassy has moved in. (The new tube stop is called Battersea Power Station Station.) Of course some of the blocks have poor doors because the rich do not want to mingle with the down and outs.

That overhead swimming pool is quite fancy. Only for the rich, naturally, but the poor are allowed to walk in the rain.

My sister worked there in when it was closing. She was wages clerk and was one of the the very last to leave. I lived north of thr River Temple Fortune and Hendon. Sis lived in Southfields right near the tennis and the rugby club where we drank it dry of rum on a session. With the rugby players. Oh happy days of youth devine!!

[jno]

Hendon's one of the numerous hospitals I'm beeing sent to at the moment. A bit hard to get at, though, I had to wait over an hour for a taxi to pick me up there the other night.
