Technical confusion and football joy ... Tuesday 15th Oct

The sun is out, albeit weakly. However, this fires me with enough of a positive attitude that I find myself sorting out things early this morning. Things that have been waiting to be attended to for a while now. Included in these activities is learning what Google + is, and how to use it, to its full potential. After a while I decide it might possibly be a step too far in its entirety, at the moment.

Putting Google + aside I go round to see the old fellow, who is having some difficulty with his Kobo eReader. Every time he puts more than one book on it, the oldest ones stop opening! I’ve tried a couple of things and went for a different reset this morning which disabled all the books! I think it must be a problem between the Kobo eReader and Adobe Digital Editions software. However as every time I try a different solution it goes wrong, at the moment I’m loath to uninstall and reinstall the software in case everything gets lost. The folks are off on hols (again!) next week. If the old fellow can get a few books on to the eReader for then, I’ll just leave it alone until they get back. I am not having a great day with technology today.

I manage to get through the ironing, make tea and clean up after it. Thereby displaying some, house husbandry skills, today. England are playing what will hopefully be their final World Cup qualifying game tonight, and whilst I am somewhat out of love with the national team, I certainly want them to be at the World Cup next summer. So it is I’m anticipating a nervous evening sat behind the newspaper, hoping they don’t blow it against Poland. The spectre of 1973 still lurks in the national football fans psyche.

Well that was an exciting ninety minutes of play, and the good news is England are going to Brazil. 2-0 winners on the night, though with the second only two minutes from time, it made for a tense game.

Yours working on my samba beat.
