Dear Cherie, since March it has not stopped raining! We had a drought winter and spring a watering ban, and now I am building Noah's Ark! Chelsea was hot for a few days in May then it bucketed down again and we have never seen the sun since. It is so depressing all the time, and Londoners are being told to walk,cycle or run to work when the Olympic games are on! This is to allow tourists and visitors to use our transpot system that is on strike at the moment anyway! Whose stupid idea was the games here in the first place? Over £2000 each person has had to pay for these games and we can't go!
I will send some rain for you.
Love.
Neil.

All so beautiful Neil. I always love seeing your photos.

Did they cut the trees in Greenwich like they were going to do?

Dear Lucy, yes they did to some of them for two weeks Horse riding which is criminal.
Regards.
Neil.

We had a down pour of rain for 10 minutes about 8:30 this morning then the sun came out and we are 98º and the humidity is stifling. First we've seen since beginning of
April some time. Calling for a drier than usual summer. Good grief....

Sorry to hear about your problems with the Mac.

I am still getting ready to throw it out the window. My mail is messed up on both my Mac and iPad. I'm about ready to scream. (Also opted on the 27".) Who says size doesn't matter!!!

Hugs,

Nancy

Nancy, it is not the iMac it is you! Try to synchronize everything and not have bits everywhere, be logical, The Mac is only doing what you tell it, nothing else. Just relax and go with the flow and have a drink, the Mac will help you do anything, if you let it!

Neil.

be nice Neil.............

Deer Cherie, I am nice to everyone! Computers can be frustrating and we all know that, it is sometimes best to just walk away and have a drink, then when you come back to it, the problem seems easy!
Have a fantastic day!
Tons of Love.
Neil.

Now, where's that drink???

What have I done? After having a great day at Hampton Court Palace in the sunshine and taking a lot of pictures I put them on the new computer. Then to remove some old pictures on Documents I deleted the old ones or so I thought, the result was it deleted all the Chelsea photos from the iPhoto library and 1200+ Hampton Court pictures from yesterday! Oh no all that work gone in second and I cannot figure out how as of yet! I do not know whether to laugh or cry. What else can go wrong with Oliver still missing as well and the house ripped to shreds with the new heating boiler done.
I give up and after a three hour journey home because of building work for the Olympics I have had enough!

Neil.

awwww Neil, hugs t you..............

Oliver has returned with some help from Phoenix who did guide him home, bless her!
A nice member called hayjane asked if she could use a picture from my Article on the Blythe Hill Tavern for a London Blog she writes for, so I said yes. So Hayley which is her real name has put All things Plants on the Blog as well!
Plus a link to my Article.
Here is the Blog and the link! http://cosylondon.blogspot.co....
