Welcome to the month of June 2023! Here is your new monthly thread.

White Rabbits!!

Let’s hope it is a good month for all of us.

So far June has gotten off to a good start for me.

How about everyone else?

June has been fine for me, except for the national train strike, they have stopped me going out and visiting other parts of London.

We went to a country park yesterday for a walk and an ice cream. We didn’t realise that there was a music event (Trance in the Woods) going on in part of the park. The music could be heard everywhere.

Was the music pleasant to hear?

So, yesterday I did my volunteering at the library, albeit later in the day than I had been doing. And when I got home I spent some time in the pool, getting exercise in there.

Today we were gonna go in the pool in the afternoon hours, but the sun wasn't out very long, plus the air temperature was chillier than that of yesterday.

Frustrated.

First my computer would start up properly, secondly my tablet is not responding well, and thirdly I am feeling rough with the weather.

...and I have not had a cup of tea yet.

I have had my tea now

Was the music pleasant to hear?


It was various types of “trance” music, with notable drum tracks. I recognised the intro to New Year’s Day by U2 had been sampled in one song and Freed from Desire by Gala was playing as we left.

Sounds pleasing to the ear, I take it that Enya was not heard?

This month will make it 2 years at King Kullen. :)

Sorry to hear of this. Sending good thoughts your way.

So, at home we are going to paint our downstairs walls a new color, but we haven’t made a final decision yet because we have several options in mind and are trying to figure out which one will look best.

I am feeling the effects of the very hot weather we are having.

It was almost June gloom here, I only heard one thunderclap from thunderstorm we were expecting, but it is due to be worse tomorrow.

I got very slightly sunburnt today. I wasn’t careful enough when putting the sunscreen on and missed an area around my elbow/upper arm. I was helping at an orienteering event and then went on my course so I was out in the blazing sun for about four hours.

You can wind up with sun damage if you're not careful, always apply it beforehand.

Please take good care, especially when we are not use to the extreme weather we are having.

Did you take a cool shower or bath, for that can be a helpful start, the cool water from a shower, bath or cold compress works to tame the inflammation that occurs around a sunburn.

It’ll even out.  ;)

So, over the weekend we were considering buying some new furniture for our living room. (Specifically, a sofa and loveseat.) We visited the local La-Z-Boy store and found a set that we think would be good for our home. So we spoke with a friendly sales associate, told him we were interested in a particular set; he helped us choose a color option and other elements. And today we decided to purchase it. However, it won't be delivered for a couple more months, because it has to be manufactured, then delivered.

Had a dental appointment this morning. It seemed to go smoothly; it was finished in less than an hour, so I didn’t miss as much work time as I originally expected.

Initially I was planning to make a visit today, but cancelled it due to the hot weather.

I do apply it before leaving the house. I just put a thinner layer on one small area, but had to spend most of the day in the full sunshine.

It has been hot here as well. We have had a fan going at work. Fun times catching paperwork when someone forgets that the fan is blowing

A must capture video on the phone?

In one sense, a non-highlight of the day, my computer has ceased to be.

Tablet or phone only till new purchase, but will keep trying revive it just in case.

I have notice one thing, it is just taking it's time to load up the browser and various documents.

Have you tried to clean up the hard drive?

I went to the hospital yesterday afternoon for the results of my biopsy. Turns out that I have early stage breast cancer (again). Only this time it shows signs of being invasive (i.e likely to spread).

I have surgery booked for the end of July and will start chemotherapy sometime in the Autumn.

Have you tried to clean up the hard drive?
Thank you. I will give it a try. I knew that there was something like that, but could not remember what it was called.

My I.T. Guru (my son) is busy on other matters and will not be able to look at it till next week.

Please take good care with this situation.

Over the last few weeks there has been advances in treatment for this.m!

After a clean up, I was able to shutdown the computer properly, the first time in a while.

That’s good to know. Anytime one of my past computers acted like that, I would try some of those tactics to see if that would solve the problem. And in some cases, it does work.

Anyway, I think my dad had a really nice Father's Day today. I cooked a breakfast for him; we spent time doing some activities together (such as playing cards, doing a crossword puzzle, etc); we went into the pool this afternoon to get some exercise... and then I helped my mom cook dinner for him. :)

I will by trying out the computer later.

Arrived back home late last night, after having surprise eventful weekend celebrating Father's Day and birthdays. I feel whacked out.

Glad you had a good day with him. :)

Thanks. He definitely appreciated all we did for him.

So, this new person who started last month at my work place, has decided to resign at the end of this week. :o Also, my job duties are going to change in a few ways. I will keep my longtime accounting tasks, but I will also learn some new ones.

New additional duties, does that mean a pay rise?

I know it does, it's unbelievable where I am now compared to where I was before.

I am totally involved with family matters today, but still hope to see some of baseball in London on television.

Game is in progress right now; Cubs have a 5-0 lead over the Cardinals in the 3rd inning.

Btw, nothing further was mentioned about this during the rest of the week.

However, yesterday I did move into a new office room within the suite. Also, during the week I was helping to purge old files that had been in file cabinets for several years.

So, today I went with my family to see a jazz concert (outdoors) which was being held at a local community college. It was a great show, although it started at an hour when the sun was still out, so I tried to protect myself from getting sunburnt.

Yesterday was spent attending a family birthday reception in a London park, in the heat, spending the majority of the time in the shade of the trees.

After the exploits of yesterday, I am staying safe indoors at home today.

Last Sunday we had a lovely sunny afternoon in our local town centre where I was Morris dancing and Dai and his mum were looking at a classic cars exhibition.

Then in the early evening we had a tremendous downpour (about 40mm of rain I heard later). The brook next to the house burst its bank, flooding our back lawn and the drains between the house and garage failed, flooding the garage.

Today Dai has been digging between the house and garage to get to the drains and pull out the roots that have got in. He has to do this every few years. I guess eventually he will get fed up with doing it and we will get someone in to replace the whole bit

And so, after a well-spent weekend, I am now ready to go back to work tomorrow and face the end-of-month tasks! (It's also the end of the second quarter of this year.)

My mobile phone has just ceased up on me! Good thing I have the computer for communications.

Oh dear!

...and the computer can be temperamental at times!

It's never any fun when your devices do that. >:(

I've had my current PC for almost three years, and I'm doing my best to keep it running well. (I had to replace the old one during the pandemic while I was working from home regularly.)

Not having my phone accessible by my side, I had to go to the kitchen to look at the clock to see what the time is.

I try to keep my PC running well too by using my air spray can to clean the insides of my computer.

All this with hay fever on top of it!

Air spray? I never heard of or seen that kind of thing to use on computers. That's new to me.

Anyways, I had another busy day at work...but I found out that I'm gonna be learning some new duties in the upcoming weeks! :)

The only thing that is working well is the landline, but I cannot get Internet access on it!

I first read it as hair spray...  ;D

I had to go to the hospital today for me pre-surgery checks -blood pressure, weight, health survey, ecg, and so on.

Tomorrow we are driving to Cambridge for James’s graduation

Please take good care with everything.

Well done to James.

A really amazing thing happened today.

I was in Cambridge for James’s graduation. The format is that the students process through the streets from their college to the Senate House where the degrees are conferred. We saw them start and then tried to get ahead of them to see the procession arrive at the Senate House. I got caught behind a bit of crowd and was dashing to catch up with Dai and Elizabeth when I spotted someone I recognised. I asked them their name and then asked if they were called Bobo.

It was Bobo who used to be here on the boards. We had a very quick chat and then I took a selfie with him

Awesome!! (I also saw your picture with him on FB.)

On this final day of June, it was a busy one at my office. I learnt how to do some new tasks (one of which adds to my end-of-month routine). However, we did have an itty-bitty problem with one piece of machinery. We had to call technical support...and eventually got the problem resolved. Thankfully, we got everything done before it was time to go. So, it's time to close the month of June!
