This morning everything is against me. First of all I overslept – well not really, goldien oldies cannot oversleep, because they have no real quests: just a little shopping and tidying up, but I awoke with the alarm and usually I wait for the alarm. However, no damage done, just had to do the preliminaries and little quicker. I had washing that had dried overnight and a cat to feed with fresh water. And the worst was it was snowing. It had snowed, and I thought that was it, but no, we now have bigger flocks coming down.
According to the weather prognosis it will stop around 10-00 a.m. with a little sun, which I am hoping for. I have a shopping trip to do today and it will be my first with snow on the roads, although it seems to be a little wet snow and I am hoping that our road maintenance guys will have cleared most of it away when I leave.
I was behind with everything: visiting posts that arrived in the night and returning comments and looking at the new arrivals in the reader. However, life is more than what a computer has to offer I suppose. My mum always said, when the cigarette prices got more expensive “What else does an old boy have”. Ridiculous I know, there is a lot more to life than cigarettes, like computers. But when my computer/WordPress does strange things, like this morning, then I have even more distrubances. “What does a golden oldie have in life than a computer” could be the modern day version of mum’s favourite wise words. Even my header photo did not want to from my hoster at first, but that is now working.
The shopping list is made so what could possibly go wrong. I am now off – have things to do and places to visit like a shower. I will leave you with a photo of my daily visit of the crows, although this one was yesterday morning.
Hope your day is developing better than mine so far. Even my publish button from WordPress is in pink instead of the normal green, which might mean something.

Mine is pink, too! It is a ‘free upgrade’ they gave us. This is supposed to be a brighter, fresher look. How do I look? You do look very good in pink! 😀 Be careful on the road, Pat.

I have been upgraded? Still have the same old aches and pains. No problem on the road, it stopped snowing and was like a normal rainy day.

I thought that was rather odd. I was accustomed to the other color. When it happened, I thought that something was wrong with it.

It was weird. I went to my account settings and it had automatically changed. I don’t know about fresher, but it’s kinda nice. I could see you in pink, Tony… 🙂

The snow cleared towards lunchtime, but we got another fall afterwards, and this time the real McCoy.

We got cheated out of the expected rain for today, but we got so much recently that I do not mind.

We had no snow up to now, but it could continue until end of February. I think everyone got new colours today.

Me too, I thought things might be amiss with an unrequested change in color. However WordPress sent an email saying they felt the need to intensify our blogs . . . . just saying

I probably got the mail as well and missed it. I am glad that it is working OK. I had my doubts at the beginning. How does a colour intensify a blog – just wondering.

I have spent EVERY minute of my non-sleep time trying to catch up with email except the time I use to take pictures, process pictures, or write posts — or make dinner. Or shop. I STILL have over a hundred emails left at the end of the day. I’m not making it happen. I’m just not. I’m going to have to work this out another way. I’m so behind, I don’t think I will EVER catch up.
