[netibiza]

Can anyone confirm that the electricity in Dubai is 220v, and that the plugs are the same as UK ie 3 pin? Thank you.

"Forenoon? Forsooth. What???

[netibiza]

I give up

Still Swiss sweltering here but it's supposed to turn into storms tonight. Been for a lake cruise and found a department store with a cafe, half the price of any other lunches in Switzerland.

Grrr, why is this iPad signing me out of all my favourite sites? It's only been this week, maybe it's a European thing.

And good forenoon to you to Neti et al.
Lovely sunny morning has turned into a cloudy afternoon .Very warm and windy though.The whirly was spinning round at a rate of knots.
Hope you're all ok .
They had the Lidl Nutribullet here Neti but I passed on that.I won a juicer once in a comp .What a faff to get one glass of juice ! It went to the charity shop.

They're forcing you to have a digital detox Jno.That's the new buzzword for getting away from the internet.There was an article on the news this morning.
Flouncers are now old hat,they'll be digital detoxers ...haha.

Conscious uncoupling from tinternet eh jno??
Yes shaney this toy will last, I'll say a month then it'll go on the shelf and then out to the shed. I already have enough juicers and blenders to fill a health shop but he wanted one! So when we are there I pop in a few things I want and he pays so happiness all round. I thought about a bread maker but just know that would soon be cast out! Its too big to store.

Just lost a post. Can anyone explain to me why my samsung tablet or smartphone type rubbish? The predictive text is bad enough but now they add words to my words, ie if I type bed by the time I've moved on it has become bedhead or something equally stupid. It is driving me CRAZY!

Oh yippee Holby city on again tonight. Yes Robi I know you told me but I couldn't remember the days!
Just finished up the curry and the weird chicken (she says it was?) Dish hija's brought home from work. It was tasteless, meant to be Asian I have no idea. Cats liked it though.
Just had a quick dip in pool as very hot again. No snakes or wee beasties ATM!!

My word, Swiss Accu have obviously hired Swiss watchmakers. When they say it will start raining at 8pm, it doesn't start at 7.59 or 8.01. Right on the dot as I'm waddling over the bridge full of fondue.

Apparently I have been private browsing, that's why the iPads locked me out of everything. Not much use - if someone stole it they'd just unlock it, same as I've just done, which re enters all my passwords and secret handshakes.

[netibiza]

I go incognito on my tablet without knowing, another thing that drives me mad.

[netibiza]

Good morning. I have overslept! Hija out all night and Mousey out all night.
Hope Robi is feeling better and all of us well and happy.

Morning all
Warm and cloudy but supposed to brighten up later.
Massive fire in Yarmouth. The Regent bowling alley and the indoor market underneath have gone up in flames during the night. .People evacuated and 22 fire engines there. Looks terrible from the pics on the news.No loss of life thankfully.

A'noon...lovely day, bit cloudy but dry bright and mild.
Gardener's been to mow so I suppose I'd better potter about this afternoon, some deadheading to be done.

I went to the shops early, thought I'd go incognito...

Just bleached all bathroom tiles as grout was getting black. Now can't breathe! Neighbour has told me there are lots of snakes in thus area and we have to kill them, I just can't. And a plague of cockroaches, I've seen 3 in 2 months. I'd better sell up.

[shaneystar2]

Just cruising past to say goodnight.
Not a bad day and it did brighten up.Picky came this evening to pick up some parcels so I made a steak and mushroom pie for dinner with tatties and veg.
I shouldn't volunteer to do these things as I seem to get more flour on the floor and down myself than in the bowl.Still, it was tasty and made a change from shop bought.
Hope you've all had a good day.Sleep tight.

[netibiza]

Morning all. That's it really. Hope we are all ok.

[Robinia]

Good morning...it looks like being another lovely day.

Shaney that fire in Gt Yarmouth looked horrendous, there's nothing left, such a shame. So many houses nearby too, they must have been terrified.

Hope you're all ok.

Morning all
Nice day so far.
Yes it was awful Robinia .There are lots of little back streets away from the main road to the seafront behind it. People had to leave their homes and the power was cut off.
Such a shame as it was a popular venue.The oldest bowling alley in the country.Spent many a night there with bowling club back in the day when we were young and fancy free.
It's a blow for the town too especially now the summer season is in full swing.The market traders have lost out big time too,all their stock up in flames.Tragic really but thankfully nobody was injured.
