Morning It was very wet and despite being 9 degrees it was also very cold yesterday, but Bob said they still gave 163 rides on the Santa special. Today is a similar forecast of 100 % chance of quite heavy rain. I shall be at Haslingden for French conversation this morning, the last one until January...

Yes so wi have just discovered….i like my iphone more each day, as well as it doing wonderful things I never even thought about it shows me what my ipad will do too

Done it, brilliant. Just watched Stanley’s video on one guy, through iPad, on tv. Also watched some of our hol videos on tv from iPhone. I’m feeling very smug. Gloria I have just done it on my ipad . I went into Control centre from settings, select customise control centre. Swipe down from top righ...

I've just managed to do it for the first time ever! I have Windows 11 but there must be a similar process for other operating systems. Switch on both devices, make sure they are connected to your WiFi. On your laptop go to 'display settings' then 'Multiple displays' then 'connect to a wireless disp...

I await an answer with anticipation

I have a question, Bob and I bought a Smart TV in the Christmas sales a few years ago and we have never used it to its maximum. Does anyone on the site have one and use it connected so that they can view whats on their laptops through the TV. I googled it and found I probably need an app . When I lo...

Morning Its really dark this morning, and sadly due to rain all day. Today is Santa Special at the park. I hope Bob doesn’t get too wet. He will be out straight after breakfast and I probably won’t see him much before 5.30 as they have to set up this morning and clear up this evening. I have few pla...

Thankyou

How do I start a new topic on a forum. I want to ask a techie question about Smart Tvs. Found the forum but can’t see how to open a new topic

Morning It was an ok day yesterday, I quickly sorted out Lucy’s skirt in the morning, and then generally relaxed, doing a jigsaw that we started on Friday. Its a complicated one and will keep us occupied till Christmas. We had a good lunch with the usual 4, Wendy and Keith arriving a bit late as the...

Morning Despite yesterdays red sky in the morning we had a dry and sometimes sunny day reaching 10 degrees. We walked into town, I left Bob at the optician for his hearing test then I went for a walk round the shops, a rare event, and bought a present for Julia ´s birthday which is just after New Ye...

It’s calked Riva at Hollingsworth Lake ,Gloria

Taken this morning on my new phone which I am beginning to love very much

Morning A dry day is forecast. We had one yesterday apart from a very light shower about noon. We had a lovely meal and afternoon with our friend Wendy and it was nearly 4 when we got back. She had never been to the restaurant before and liked it very much being impressed with the prices, portion si...

Morning I had a good session with Maxine other than my worst fears being true. The fit of the sleeves was not right and I thought they would have to come out and be reset. After a lot of fiddling Maxine agreed with me which meant unpicking what was actually a finished garment. Neither Maxine nor I c...

Forgive my ignorance Sue, but how do you know when you are no longer infectious? Is it when the coughing and sneezing stops? Colds flu etc are infectious a couple of days before the symptoms which is why they spread so rapidly and like Covid the infective stage has usually gone by day 5. Any remain...

Well I am on my phone I changed my password… to what the password was anyway

try login on a computer at the library if you have access to check / change password. Iphones are above my pay grade but I suspect you might have a CAPS set issue , where it is holding capitols - android releases unless you double up shift first. Watch too for underscore and dash and other odd char...

Wendyf wrote: ↑08 Dec 2025, 18:26 I don't understand why your usual user name and password aren't letting you log in.

Neither do I . I may have to change my password I supposev

Not my pass word. I have a good password but I have been refused a login and been asked to fill in a complex set of info from a phrase 29th February… Etc. Fill in 2 nd letter, 4 th, 6 th, 15 th 21 st and 27 th This very difficult on a phone. I have a valid and apparently a very good password and my ...

I have always regarded Apple kit as overpriced and over-hyped. You can buy a whole lot of Android for less money and are not locked into the same OS and apps. All our phones and tablets talk to each other without problems as required. That's my 10 pennorth. I hope you get it sorted Sue Yes but when...

Ok all I am trying to do is sort my new phone out. It won’t log in to one guy. I tried changin g my password on my ipad but don’t think it has. I have been asked an arduous CAPTCHA. Test. By my reckoning it is not possible there are not 27 letters. Do the spaces count as letters. It is very difficul...

Gloria wrote: ↑08 Dec 2025, 08:29 Once you get your phone sorted Sue, and I’m sure you will, you will love it, I love my iphone, wouldn’t have any other.

I hope so…it cost enough

When we got new phones there was an issue with WhatsApp transferring to the new phones. Col looked into it and came up with a simple solution that worked. Shame I can't remember. Is there a QR code in the app? I didn’t have a QR reader as that wouldn’t load either which was really another problem 😳

Morning It was a hard day yesterday sorting out this new phone. I have changed from Android to iphone and I was assured everything would transfer via an app. Well half of it did then the instructions of what to do seem to disappear or were confusing so I ended up having to do all the apps by hand. N...

Not really to both Stanley, present are immediate family only, cards include close friends past and present. The iphone is turning out to be very difficult to set up
