Good morning all on another warmish day, not quite as warm as yesterday but not a cloud in the sky, spring is just around the corner.
Went for a pleasant walk this morning in the sunshine, even remembered to take my camera with me.
Back home again I decided to repot a small bush, as usual I have absolutely no idea what it is, just something I grew from a cutting taken on one of my walks. 
Anyway that’s my morning so far, what plans do you have for this Wednesday?
Take care…
Hi
Good Morning Bruce and all who follow.
Your photos look very like the UK countryside Bruce, I have always imagined Australia to be totally different.
A very boring day ahead for me, all about trying to get my legs working again.
Have a great day all.
I have been reliably informed that:
At the moment your bush looks a bit sick for definite identification but after some TLC ,if the leaves stay the same size it could be Portulacaria Afra BUT if they get bigger it could be a Crassula Ovata. 
Ha ha… It was called New South Wales for a reason @swimfeeders 
I threw in a bit of fertiliser when I re-potted it so it might perk up a bit. I run a very Darwinian garden.
Edit
It is definitely not a Jade plant I have a couple of them - Money Trees.
Good morning all! 
Great excitement, the ironing board cover arrived, it’s heat reflecting too, wasn’t expecting that!!! I shall pop over the road a bit later for a bottle of Moët by way of celebration 
The new washing machine is set to arrive between 10:16 and 14:16… deffo one of those domestic type of days!
Have a good day people! I’ll raise a glass of bubbly to you all later 
Morning all from a bright and sunny southern Hampshire.
Today, I’m as rigid as a plank. Yesterday it was hedge trimming time and after several hours of swinging my trimmer around, it left me today where I can hardly move. Still have to go to the local recycle centre with the cuttings, maybe some shopping after. Also yesterday, Mrs G is giving me yet stronger hints about booking a cruise for next year back to Iceland. I can see we are going to have a serious chat later about it. To top everything off, I still haven’t ordered my new lens for my camera.
Right now, I’ve just come back from my walk and awaiting my mandatory coffee…
Have a great day all…
Good morning everyone, bright and sunny today, still too chilly for August, but it will get hotter, meteorologists are telling us.
I’ve been fiddling about with one of the video cameras that haven’t been used for many years.
This Samsung functions with an SD card, I think it needs a new battery, no sign of life at all.
I’m wondering though if it is only emphasised text the battery? How can I be sure that the camera itself is still working and also the AC adapter? I can’t find a spare one that fits and I’ve lost the instructions, too. 
When I plug it into the power supply, there is a red light on and nothing else happens, the battery doesn’t charge, even after more than an hour. Nothing on the screen!
I can’t even get my laptop to read the SD card that I found in the video camera. 
Any suggestions from tech wizards will be very welcome! 
Enjoy your new ironing board Chilli and good luck with your new washing machine!
Definitely a good excuse to celebrate, domestic issues play a very important part of our lives! 
Salute!
Morning all – lovely sunny start to the day
Well, it has finally happened! I have completely lost it! I tried to plug my lap top in to recharge and couldn’t get the cord to fit – then realised I was trying to use the charging cable for my mobile phone! Send for the men in the white coats and book me into the nearest home for the bewildered!
Gardener had to cancel Monday due to the rain so he will be coming next Monday – hope the weather is OK then because my lawn is definitely looking a bit scruffy! As he had cancelled I was able to accept an invitation for coffee with my neighbours
Went to lunch with one of my sisters in law yesterday. We went to the local golf club but they have changed their menu and nothing appealed to either of us so we visited a nearby pub instead and had a very enjoyable lunch and conversation
Take care – have a great day
I have been having a few isssues recenly regarding my panasonic G9ii camera . What happened was the SD memory card fell apart in the camera card slot.
so took the camera to my local camera fepair pace and gthey managed to extract the broken card but the contacts in the camera are damaged. they don’t repair Panasonic equipment. So now Insurance dealing and waiting to see what the next step is
If the adaptor is showing a light, you can assume that its working, although testing it with something compatible or a test meter would confirm it. But it could also be the adaptor’s cable, or a plug/socket issue.
Batteries are mortal and usually the source of a lot of problems, especially as they age. If the battery is appears to be refusing a charge, then there’s a strong chance its on its way out and time to replace it.
If your laptop doesn’t see anything on the card, then either the card is corrupted or has died.
Don’t Panasonic have an official repairer somewhere? Maybe not local?
As I said elsewhere I posted my Canon still camera off to Canon/ I think it was in Sydney but they just posted it back.
Surely Panasonic don’t think such an expensive camera is disposable?
Bruce at the moment it is now in the hands in my insurance company
Trying to contact authorised Panasonic repairers by phone is nearly impossible I tried for the better half of yesterday afternoon and no one answered… The nearest authorised repairer is a 2 hour drive away.
The nearest not over happy with the response to my questions. Asked if he was working from a house and he said his boss had made a room in his house as a workroom. They recently moved from a unit.
That sets alarm bells for me. Could not even park outside his house but in a nearby carpark and to ring from there and he would come and collect from the car park.
so now I wait to here from the insurers.
Look where I’ve been today with Mrs Fox, there is a very nice pub nestled under the Humber Bridge. I found this place a couple of years ago while walking part of the ‘Wolds Way’ and thought Mrs Fox might like some lunch there. It’s certainly not the last time we’ll visit, and they do a carvery for Sunday lunch…I parked some distance away and we had a pleasant walk in the sunshine along the foreshore…
Those cottages were built in 1678…They have definitely seen some changes.
Embrace the solar panels Foxy
Ha Ha yes, I didn’t notice them. They’ve been using them for longer than I thought…
We should just go back to the caves Foxy, none of this would be an issue then 
Does the camera turn on with the power supply plugged in @Rose2 ?
i would have said that the red light indicates that the power supply is working. You can get batteries for most appliances but no point is spending the money if the camera is no good.
It might be worth removing the battery and putting it back in again a couple of times just to “clean” the contacts, same with the SD card. Assuming that the battery is removable.
The actual model name will probably be on the camera somewhere (usually with the serial number) so you could search on line for a PDF file of the manual
Some batteries when stored completely flat, will no longer accept a charge.
