Friday Frolic...
Not much of a frolic merely a walk up to B&M's to buy seed for the birds. At least under the gray skies these daffs were still blooming. The brightest things to be seen on a dreich day.
I took a couple of pics of things only to find that Microsoft had 'updated' the 'Photos' ap thereby making it difficult to play around with the pictures. All the usual things are still there but now they are shifted around and difficult to find. The obvious things are hidden and it is unclear where anything is.
Why do 14 year old geeks get allowed near these things?
'Photos' was a reasonable system yet now it is confusing and clearly not improved by someone who actually uses the thing. I not 'Outlook' was updated recently and again the first thing you look for is not in an obvious position it is hidden or placed in an out of the way part of the system!
Have these drugged up geeks not heard about KISS? I suspect most have yet to hear about women to be honest, 'Keep It Simple Stupid' or 'do the obvious thing' and all will be well, that of course does not go down among the lads in silicon valley....
Hidden from the main road is this old chapel. Originally owned by the Quakers it is now in possession of the local Sally Ann. It lies behind an undertakers that at one point in the late 19th century worked as a 'Beer Shop,' not a pub just a place to buy beer. This was a haphazard system to stop people drinking Gin which was ruining the nation. People drank less gin but more beer and drunkenness became a problem! Who would have thought...?
Next door is a house I would have loved to buy if I had money. It also sits far back from the road and goes back well into time. Sadly the person selling wanted thousands of pounds for this and the loose change in my pocket did not cover it. Further along another building, this time commercial, also sits back from the road, I am left wondering why? Possibly I will never know.

I wish they would leave things alone...but i suppose if they do not come up with some stupid twitch to the system they might be unemployed.
The updated Outlook is something of a nightmare.
Mike, 'Something' is an understatement.
Fly, I suggest unemployment for them.
