I was quite surprised to see signs reading 'Caution, Deer in Road' almost in the centre of Watford.

New Epson AIO printer update.

Its now working well, but it does turn itself off after a certain time and does not automatically start up in a morning when I switch the power socket back on, which is OK but generally means I get a message Epson printer not connected when I try to print.
The Epson equivalent colour cartridges do work, but the Epson software refuses to acknowledge their existence, so the ink levels show as full all the time, which will be bugger when they need changing.
Result, not entirely satisfactory but not too bad.

Thanks for that - I've been so worried

[towny44]

Your empathy is always welcomed Cubie!

I'm getting another of my heads. Christmas stuff out in force in Waitrose and we have just had to book our office Christmas dinner. It's just not right !

Morning campers . What are we all up to today

Off to church this morning, with perhaps a spot of kitchen fitting this afternoon

You will be praying for a bit of DIY guidance then Notso?

From my trip to Nottinghamshire on Saturday. This really does have to be the dullest view from a so-called "viewpoint" !

Power to the people

[towny44]

I do think that electric power pylons are hideous, in fact I think I would prefer HS2 running past my back garden rather than a line of these monstrous pylons. In fact if they were to put power stations near to the HS2 route and bury the cables alongside the rail line as it was built, then I might agree to support HS2.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Didn't realise the HS2 route passed your house Towny. Hard to see how that reduces the London to Birmingham journey time. I can see why people are upset.

Hope it doesn't frighten the ferrets

"Hansons will be holding a FREE antique valuation day at Moorlands House, Leek, ST13 6HQ tomorrow from 11am-2pm. Do come along!"

She already knows I'm priceless.

Or did she say worthless?

You could take your train set along - they are usually worth a bob or two
