Good morning!
A pleasant day yesterday with plenty of sunshine after a dampish start. The days are starting to assume the same low key and slightly subdued vibe as last lockdown which is OK by me. I like a peaceful life.
We had another go at a chat, Dad and I, and this time it was successful. Dad's obviously taking this seriously; he has always liked a challenge and has never taken kindly to being beaten by a machine! Through the rest of the day I received several invites to chat as he played with the system and get more to grips with it all. Fortunately, he had warned me so I wasn't alarmed!
What else? Well, the shelves didn't arrive so I expect they will be here today. I did a bit of housework and quite a lot of stitching and, all in all, it was very pleasant.
Today is mostly more of the same. I have a scheduled chat with Val this morning, followed by an online personal training session with Lindsey. After that the day is my own. I will watch Bake off, which I always record, and then whatever I fancy as I read, stitch and knit.
If the shelves come, that's quite different, of course! The day will be a fair bit more active. I just don't see the point in clearing cupboards out to create a pile of stuff somewhere else, so I'm waiting until the storage is sorted.
Sensible or lazy? Well, maybe both!
Have a great day and stay well. xx
It certainly is peaceful in this lock down - people aren't even walking the footpath down the meadow like they did first time.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day
It's not really the weather for casual walking, especially if it's not the norm, I suppose.

Totally sensible!
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching Bake off this afternoon too, suddenly there's loads on at the same time, can't keep up with it all.
Enjoy your day!
There's a lot to watch right now, I agree. I'm glad - it's nice to be spoilt for choice.

Definitely sensible ... just move things once!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your Dad is persisting with Zoom. It sounds like he enjoys a challenge.
"low key and slightly subdued vibe" is an accurate description up lockdown life. The slower pace of life definitely suits me. I hope you enjoy your day xx
He does - always has been. The parameters might change but the competitive instinct hasn't!
DeleteIt's going nicely so far, thanks. You too.

I used Zoom this afternoon and had the black screen problem. I could see and hear my friend but there was a black screen where I should have seen myself. It was resolved by choosing the 'run video' option in the bottom left hand corner of the screen.
DeleteI don't remember seeing that. If we have issues again, I'll take a look and see. It seems a bit different in that Dad can see himself and me and I can see me but not him.
DeleteIt just seems very odd - I've not had that problem with anyone else. Strange.

If this is the solution I think he is the one who needs to select run video.
DeleteHe says he is . . . I wish I were there to see exactly what he is doing. ANd for other reasons too, obviously! :-)
