    I forgot to turn my phone on and missed the National Alert Test crying

    Had a mate visiting for a chat and a cuppa. Mum yelled out a bit before that the alarm was about to go off. My mate asked "What?" - he had not heard about it, so I filled him in about the details, including the claims by the tin-hats-brigade that it was going to signal the hidden computer chips in everyones heads that they were about to be overtaken for mind control, he had a laugh - he has a PhD in Law. He put his phone on the table waiting for it to go off. The moment the time arrived all our phones went off. No sign yet of mind control ......

    That's what you have been programmed to think...

    my big monitor is playing up, so for now I went bigger surprise

    that little third one in the middle is too small to read for many programs 

    TV will have to do for now, will move my table/desk under it

    cat insisting on sleeping on me, so cannot do now

    interesting, I now have a different wallpaper on each monitor 

    all from my wallpapers folder, when it changed over after 30mins, before that 2 were the same

    LOL, thanks, need a soft seat with my piles blush

    and, yes that was my childhood kitchen table

    I don't really want 3 monitors but also don't wamt that TV on all the time so have the little one for that reason 

    I wish my 30" one still worked properly but since I don't want to spend money, this was the best solution I could come up with, wish the Win7 PC worked too

    Health update - Gastroscopy

    Nothing serious or nasty found, so not about to drop off my perch yet !!!

    Did find something that I will have to chat to my GP about, but other than that - good news !

    Now to start on working about getting that replacement computer so I can get back to Carrara again ......

    was it one of those plastic toys we used to get out of the Corn Flakes packet that you forgot you swallowed when you were a kid?

    Great news though... happy computer hunting yes

    Thanks !!!

    Was a sliding hiatus hernia. Will have a chat to my GP about it, cut back on coffee already which has helped !

    Now looking at a cheaper option of buying a refurbished computer, saw a nice one earlier for about $1800.

    Hello Wendy

    You might want to talk to your local police just in case you are being targeted.

    Also you might like to check these out in case they can help you with any programs that they offer:-

    https://dhs.sa.gov.au/how-we-help/ageing-well/research-and-action-for-ageing-well/office-for-ageing-well

    https://cotasa.org.au/programs-and-services

    https://www.seniorscard.sa.gov.au/

    We have a group called Yellow Bridge who have been providing great support from mowing the yard to repairs in the house.

    Hope you stay okay !!!

    Edit:- Another maybe - https://www.cityofadelaide.com.au/resident/healthy-living-and-wellbeing/ageing-well/

    the people who do such work are usually older than me cheeky

    I just need to do it, my biggest reason why I haven't is actually avoiding the one neighbour next door who gives me grief

    the one with all the junk in her yard one would think they would target instead

    any sunny day, she's out there walking around admiring her junk

    or occasionally her grandkids are outside playing in it

    I have a window of time when her grandchildren are at school but I have heard another one screeching, I think the daughter has popped out
