Soaking up the sun.

Soaking up the sun.
We're being lucky with the sunshine and I'm a bit annoyed at myself for not being out in it. It's been a day where I've faffed around doing odds and ends that have been overlooked. I was enjoying it until I tackled the printer I bought some time ago. Before Christmas I think. I'd sorted it out at the time except for dealing with the WiFi so it and the computer could talk to each other. Got to grips with that today but it was irritating. The instructions weren't always clear and there was some trial and error. And it took a while. Messages saying "This process may take some time." I kept thinking of Oates leaving the tent and saying "I am just going outside and may be gone some time." However, eventually the two were talking and I restarted the computer as that always seems a good idea. Not this time. The cursor on the mouse vanished. Fished out another mouse but the same result. At that point I gave up. Went into the garden, chatted to Emma and Courtney, waved to Emma's parents who were visiting and having tea at the top of the garden and took some photos. Once inside I had tea as well, lying on the sofa comfort reading an old detective story. After a while I went back to the computer and switched off the printer. The cursor reappeared. Did some processing and decided to post my blip and investigate later. I have a feeling it may well be some time before I do so.

No going out for me! I have to keep my head looking straight down while I recover frorm an op. for a detached retina. 10 days of utter boredom and it doesn't do my back pain any good either. Hopefully not much longer to go, I see the ophthalmologist tomorrow. We'll see (!)
Lovely daffs shot. I have to enjoy them vicariously this year!

Thank you, Jean. I'm on the computer due to lack of sleep and the impossibility of keeping my head in said position 24/24!

The sun shines beautifully through the petals, and they look lovely against the dark background.
It's it's any comfort, it took me hours to get my printer and computer to communicate Jean. I got there in the end!

Light in the darkness! A delight image Jean............the daffs glow beautifully against the dark background.

Your not alone in your inability to get your printer and computer talking to each other. I've been trying to sort mine out for months with no success. I'm seriously thinking of getting rid of it and just getting a new one! At the moment it's just a handy surface to pile books and camera lenses on!
