Nice one: leads you in...

Herring Gull waiting his or her turn at the Fish Stall in Hastings at the weekend.

The Last of the Nomads by W.J. Peasley. It's the true story of a search for a couple, the last of Mandildjara tribe of desert nomads to live in the traditional way, in the Gibson Desert in Western Australia. A great read: I finished it in two sittings.

It's sounding a little like Excel is the way to go. I am reasonably familiar with it and so shouldn't (hopefully) find it overly difficult to "model" the Q98 functions I use. Many thanks, all...

Was this one of the many Excel accounting templates? Or was it a "raw" Excel spreadsheet with your own formulae, etc.?

Yesterday...a couple of Yellow Wagtails catching insects just below a small waterfall. And then occasionally disappearing behind a grass curtain on a small hard-to-get-to rocky ledge, to feed the littluns I assume. They were taking insects from the air and also checking out the shallows. They...

Another long-term Dell customer here, Laptops and Desktops (although why they're called that I'll never know as they sit on the floor under the desk).

Nice one! Well done!

That should keep you quietly occupied for many a long evening!

What cheese is made backwards? Edam.

Whenever I get a new OS map I... Remove the cover; Refold it in half, half again, etc. (normally 4 folds in all); that way you can use both the original and the new folds so the map fits the map case with your area of interest viewable on one or both sides of the map case without needing to...
