I have just returned from my very long journey to Thessalon?ki Greece to deliver the clothes & toys you so generously contributed for the refugees down there. The charity I was working for Drapen I Havet A drop in the ocean are under huge pressure given the very cold weather & horrific conditions in the camps. There are serious security problems due to attacks by other factions!! So their problems continue to gather as European governments plan to send their refugees back to Greece at a time the Greek people are suffering terribly themselves. So, please continue to do what you can to help the organisations & charities working out there no matter how small, including asking your MP what we are doing to help. I do not intend to be political, but to bring awareness to a situation that we have a chance to make a difference.

We will be making a donation each month & looking for further opportunities to help this year.

And don't think I'll let you off there. Your gardening tips will be on the forum as soon as I've recovered, to help you sleep at night & get your garden ready for spring. Happy New Year 😊

  No hesitation in recommending Pavel and his excellent company. So glad we were able to have a slot in the schedule. Our move has been stressful in many ways so it was a huge relief to have the contents of our home dealt with by kind, responsive professionals.
- Advice wanted re my laptop 😭

  I have someone from Which Tech phoning on Monday afternoon. I couldn't get an earlier appointment. I am hoping that now there is a visible display, they will be able to get me online and then remotely control the laptop and identify what went wrong and whether it is an ongoing fault or, if not, whether it is likely to recur. If they can't, or if they identify a hardware fault, I will have to grit my teeth and let John Lewis's third party "repair" company take it away and deal with it 😭 I'm very grateful for your advice, but when I saw "Windows will restart automatically" my immediate reaction was to think "but suppose it doesn't" and "suppose the screen goes black again" which I know is very negative but I'd rather someone else was there when I did it, albeit on the end of the phone! Meanwhile, every cloud etc, as I have installed Word on my phone, which I didn't know was possible, and I have been editing and printing documents from there. I haven't investigated whether I can do the same with Excel, but I will see what happens on Monday.

  Just to the right of where the goslings were there’s a tree on the lake side of the fence where I like to watch the mother and baby rats. It was there today I saw a dog. I was surprised by the nimble way this large dog jumped back over the fence.

  If you mean the area immediately adjacent to the water, I have never seen either a dog or a human in there. Surely it would be extremely difficult for someone - or their dog - to get over the fence (I thought they were iron railings. Are we talking about different parts of the pond/lake?)
