We put up a shelf in the kitchen today but had to move a clock to the other side of a window for it.

I keep looking at the shelf to see the time.

We reno'd the kitchen about 10 years ago, moved the cutlery drawer from a unit on one side of the kitchen to the breakfast bar at the other side.

Yes, I STILL occasionally go to where the original drawer was

So hot in Alaska, a moose decided to take a break in the sprinkler.

Looks like that is to be updated with the Me office investigating a claim of 38.7C which would be a UK record of all time, this is also in Cambridge.

I take it then that it was 'ot.

MrBEVS cousin outside of Wolverhampton said that for a couple of nights it was really uncomfy and there were storms. I've not heard any complaints from my lot in Bournemouth. They seem to be just ding their usual thing.

I’m trying to post a photo from my iPad...but it won’t seem to load...I can do it from the pc, but not this stupid thing...of course I’ve taken the photo on the iPad! Apologies and many thanks JG. I really thought I had done it...it’s a little dispiriting. I am trying to show off, as I have a gorgeous new kitten!

Easy. Is the pic in your photos album on the iPad? If so...click on Manage Attachments...chose the album...then the pic and press Upload.

The only time I have had a problem is if there are too many pixels in the pic.
