Still Geeking....

So here I am again, still geeking (as the Grumpster has described my technological activities) and testing a new editor feature on my blog. And there is no discernable difference. -Hang on, change that, there is!  I can now change how the text looks!  How Exciting!  I don't know what most of the icons at the top of this box mean, other than B and I  (can you tell?!) but there is always an option for the Grumpster to experiment on my behalf. He knows so much more about computers than I do. Today, I decided to put some photos that I'd taken on my new phone onto the computer. Under his direct supervision. All went well until I plucked the lead that connected my phone to my computer from  it's umbilical housing. 'NO' yelled the G. 'You have to tell the computer that you are disconnecting it!!!' As if it's a dire emergency, he has already made his way across the house to the poor, shocked PC. I am sitting, frozen with fear, as if the machine might in some way retaliate against my foolishness. Well, there was nothing that could be done. The computer survived (I hope) and so has my phone, but I have been shown what to do, and will never be so foolish again. Phew!  

Everyone has been so excited by the snow this week, it's just incredible. We actually get snow here most winters but it generally never lays and when it does, by the time we have slipped out into the garage to get the sledge the drip-drip signal that it is going to disappear faster than it arrived is already well under way. This year however, we have had super-snow! It's been here for days, schools have closed (although ours was the only one in Somerset that opened on Thursday-we are so hard here!) and the shops look like they have been looted. So I am sad to report that the BBC are forecasting a thaw over the next couple of days. As I type, frantic shouts and drawer-opening sounds are happening in the boys' room above me. That is the noise of boys getting dressed. We are off sledging  before it's all gone. I will let you know how it has gone (hopefully from home and not an X-ray dept.) when I next geek.

Be careful and stay upright followers. Lucy.
