The King Power Stadium, Grace Road and the racecourse are all down that end of town but there was nothing on at any of them so Gawd knows what it's like when there is an event on.

At least you're in line with a lot of people. I understand a number of premiership clubs were referring to "bloody Leicester" earlier this year.

My spending is well under control. Now my financial advisor and purse string holder, that's a different matter :D

With interest rates at an all time lower, and the pound nosediving against the dollar (and pretty much everything else) its hardly worth saving - so why not spend it....

Bloomin hot today here. Been cutting grass, or should I say trimming the wispy bits. The rest looks like straw.

Devastated to read reports of the demise of Mrs. White, the cook. Dr. Orchid has been drafted in to fill the void but I fear she will be a pale ( & pastel) imitation of the great lady. Off to lie in a darkened room!

New printer arrived at 10:00am this morning, Amazon may be a bit tardy paying their taxes but by heck they don't half move fast when it comes to deliveries.

No drone, it was an umarked white van. Epson printer now set up and working, initial impression is that its not quite as good as my old HP model, but its more than adequate for my needs.

I'm happy with Epson. Ink heads clog eventually if you use cheap ink but two refills with cheap stuff and you've saved enough for the next printer.

What happens when they do clog, I could not see that the cradle on my XP335 could be removed, so it will be difficult to clean. Does returning to Epson inks clean it up, or do you just throw it away?

I'm having a problem at the moment printing on Epson photgraphic paper on my Epson printer. It just won't grab the paper and feed through for printing. I've tried a single sheet and multiple sheets but still it won't feed through. Fine with regular paper.

Can you feed different paper types via the front as well as the rear tray ... printer wise of course ?

Haven't a clue Moby. The online manual is about as much use as chocolate tea pot.
