oh, it's not even a proper hacking cough, just enough of a tickle to jolt me awake every time I'm nearly asleep. I had proper pewmonia a couple of years ago and that was a real cough; god forbid I should get tha again. Bah. I think I will wander round in a stupour all day then collapse over the dinner table; nobody will notice the difference.

goodness... for some reason I've been getting emails from a hotel chain; I don't know how I got on their list, probably filled out a competition form or something. Anyway, this morning I got an email from them saying "Do you still want our emails? Our records show you haven't opened the last three."

Eh? How do they know I haven't opened them? All I can think of is that opening them must take you directly to their website or something; but I don't think it does. Is there really some way of telling whether your email has been read?

on outlook there is an email monitoring thing that the sender can set to find out when an email is read or opened or deleted without opening. In the receivers email preferences there is the choice to never tell, to ask each time and to just tell the sender without asking.
I used to use this at work because the first time it pops up the receiver thinks "oh sure I'll let x know that I have received their message" then they get bored with always giving permission so they set it to always just tell without asking, THEN I had them by the short and curlies as I could tell that the folk who denied absolutely receiving an email from me asking them to do something that they had had either read it or had deleted it without reading <insert evil laughter here> I got the rep for being an evil allseeing techno witch.

Sorry I can't help you with where the settings are as i no longer have outlook.

Its raining again here.

With apologies for my very late thanks to all your good wishes yesterday. I had a good day, but was very tired because one of my feet decided to totally scream at me when it touched the ground in the middle of Norwich and getting around proved impossible. Paracetamols and a nice lunch helped a bit and allowed me to get back to the car. Nice necklace for a pressie and son and GF came round in the evening for cake.

Sorry about your ailments, jno and Neti. A ganglion? I would have thought it was a gland if it was caused by throat, tooth - but who am I to wonder................

See you soon, and thanks again.

(It was nice yesterday and raining again today - the sun shines on the righteous on their birthdays!! ;o) )

Ouch! have just be waxed to within an inch of my life, down there, legs and armpits oh and toes! Why?? no idea!! The pain was incredible, so maybe not again!!

The weather is overcast but warm.

Must start my packing now.

netibiza

Yes lottie, but here Spanish words do not always mean the same. For instance I had a "tumor" on an ovary but was only a growth.

jno

waxed toes??

woofgang

tumor does mean a growth, its one of those words that have slipped in meaning, at least in the UK.
Its raining and sunny here. I am supposed to be tidying up but i'm not! Did just sort the car out though.

I have just had a wedding invitation from Sydney Sis, but will not be traipsing halfway round the globe for it; I shall wait till she becomes Stortford Sis, as she probably will. I did traipse halfway round the globe to her first wedding, only to find she'd called it off, so that was a mistake. (But her reasons for doing so were sound.)

netibiza

I am supposed to be packing my suitcase, but am in a complete and utter muddle! time for a cuppa methinks.

So woofy do you think ganglion could be right, I'm seriously worried now!

Am having a '65' year rememberance day.

Such raw talent. Not so much raw anything these days as far as music is concerned imho.

LoftyLottie

Do not worry Neti

As you say Ganglio is also used in Spain for a gland (lymph node).

Sorry about the drain miseries Shaney. Must be horrible!

woofgang

They played the original version of "So long Maryanne" on the radio yesterday. Its amazing how much Leonard Cohen's voice has darkened and improved with age.

LoftyLottie

Being old ain't so bad. Our generation turned out a lot of the greats, Woof.

LoftyLottie

And wrinkly or not, he remains my favourite!!!

Ah well Dynorod have cleared the drain but they are sending a man round with a camera .We only had the damn thing repaired a couple of years ago because the pipe was broken .At least I can have bath now !
I would rather pull my fingernails out with a pair of rusty pliers than listen to Leonard Cohen but am with Lofty on the others .I love Joe Cocker and this is my favourite .

LoftyLottie

Must admit I am not a Cohen fan either Shaney. Sorry Woofy.
