What happened to all my European friends?

 

This thread went quiet so I headed back to cotts.

Yeah, I think I was a little over-ambitious

You never know. Threads go quiet then suddenly start to get traffic again

True - stranger things have happened.  Although it’s not like I’m around as much I had imagined, things have got busy here, which is at least some sort of good

Sorry I sort of abandoned this chat. I didn't mean to, but things got busy. So, any Europeans around ? We could have a Eurovision song contest chat.

I'm HOT. Warmest May forever continues into June. Same in UK, I gather.

[northie]

Yep. Humid as well which is not my favourite combination. 

[Timothy M.]

Not really humid here, as we've hardly had any rain. Just dry and hot. A nice thunderstorm and a ten degree drop in temperatures would be appreciated.

I'm lucky, coz i live near at the seaside I get a cool wind off the sea. The temps here are at about 18c at the mo, so just warm.

Yeah, that does help. I'm not too far from the coast either (since Copenhagen is a harbor town), but living in the city is always warmer than the countryside.

Wow - this is turning all very British, talking about the weather 😀

Lol, well, It's dreary here with a forecast of rain/thunderstorms today  Hi Sam and how are today??? 

[Sam Wyer]

I'm good thanks - finally getting some time to catch up on my writing!

You're lucky. Ali's school (and only her school) is on teacher strikes AGAIN! I've just had her home for half term, now she has another two days off. I'm so far behind it's not funny at the moment. 

 

Hope your writing goes well

That seems unlikely unless I log out of here   But it's a start, right?

[Timothy M.]

We finally have overcast skies and may even get a bit of rain but not nearly enough to compensate for the worst drought in decades. It's been way too hot and dry for weeks.

 

I can sympathize with not get any writing done.   I really need to pull myself together. A new reader has begun leaving wonderful comments on my Clueless Camping story, which is both inspiring and motivating.

I need to chat with someone who knows the ins and out of editing GA stories. I am a very new guy at computers and chatting and am unsure how to get help/guidance on various operations. Is there someone out there who can help an old man get up to snuff on a keyboard?

My first question would be: my MacBook was purchased by my partner when he was back home in Portugal so the keycaps are set up for European use, but I use only American English, so when I type, I have to remember that such and such a key, though it has a symbol on the keycap will produce a different character when I press it. I am getting somewhat better at learning the new format, but it would be so much easier to have the symbol on the keycap be what would appear on the screen when I pressed it. Can any computer whiz-bang help me with that problem without ruining my computer? The letters are correct, it is the punctuation and symbols that are f---ed up!
