Gmails Won't Send

[jno]

I frequently get an error message when trying to send a Gmail, specially if it's replying to one:

"Oops... a server error occurred and your email was not sent. (#007)"

Just over the last month or so, and apparently at random. It won't save these emails as drafts, either.

Anyone know what's happening, or what I might do about it? (I have Hotmail and other email accounts but would prefer to use Gmail.)

Bummer! young bro (64) has a brain tumour and is being sent to Royal Marsden (cancer hospital) for investigation! Older bro has just had his driving licence returned after his accident yonks ago with his ride on mower!

[woofgang]

oh no Neti! I hope they can do something about younger bro. Its amazing what they can do even with brain tumours.

oh my, so many sick relatives. My thoughts go out to them all. It's a miserable time of year to be ... well, miserable.

We have so much pollen that my patio is covered in yellow dust. Impossible to sweep as it flies everywhere. I just clean a pathway to walk on. I wondered why my nose and eye were running uncontrollably on Monday. Nose always runs but not that bad. Now I know why!

[woofgang]

yes the wind pollinated trees are just starting here. I had a sapling hazel by my garden door which i got removed in february. I wasn't sure about doing it but am really glad I did.

Morning all
Sorry to hear about your brother Neti. I do hope they can do something for him.Mine is still in hospital but soldiering on.
Dull and cold here and nothing exciting to report. Hope you're all ok.

well, I watched Janina Ramirez's programme about the man who excavated the world's first city in Turkey and realised I recognised one of the sites ... it was the flats where he lived in Finsbury Park, because we were living there at the same time and never knew. Looked like he was just upstairs from us.

[woofgang]

fame at last!

[jno]

well, infamy really, because the gist of the programme was he got himself into scandal, seemingly by making things up. So we would probably have walked past him with our noses in the air if we'd known who he was.

[woofgang]

But its only recently that people have (mostly ha ha) stopped making up historical facts. Apparently the Golden Bough was end to end fabrication, also apparently not only did Arthur not exist, but the whole thing about massive battles against the Viking invaders was made up (no mass graves) and then there are the Princes in the Tower.......

he discovered Catalhoyuk, brought out loads of antiquities, but then gave a magazine interview in which he said a mysterious woman on a train persuaded him to look at her collection: he did detailed drawings of everything (but no photos) and published it, but nobody's ever seen them and nobody could find the woman. The Turks believed just enough of it to suspect he'd been smuggling the things out himself (it appeared some of his assistants had been doing this) and trying to validate them, and refused him permission to excavate any further.

Then he published an odd book comparing wall drawings he'd found to modern kilim patterns, claiming they showed persisting belief in the mother goddess for 7000 years; but again nobody seems to have seen the drawings.

All very strange (but interesting). It completely destroyed his reputation, and I for one had never heard of him (James Mellaart, I think his name was). So he retired to insalubrious Finsbury Park.

Hello.how is everyone? dark and wet here. Finally sorting out our savings which we are not allowed to have in stocks and shares now thanks to Brexit! I hate it all as I have absolutely no idea about investments etc. But we think its sorted now.
I really need to buy some new bedding but if we buy on amazon the tax is horrendous. I like English bedding . Unfortunately I dont think I'll be coming to uk this summer or I'd buy it there and risk customs. Bummer!
Well onwards and upwards.
Waves to you all and Robi x

good morning to all. bright and cold here, we have had below zero overnight for 2 days now, pots, ponds and birdbath have been frozen over. Tortoises seem happy in the spare room this year which is a blessing, when they are unhappy they stomp around and try and dig through the walls. I hope you are all keeping well. We are KBO

Hello. Had to go to bank this am so was up early as it closes at 11am! Lounge tv went wrong last night so I've been traipsing round the shops and not one has a 43" smart with a scart plug for our sky box. I know I can connect with scart to colours but dont want to spend a lot and it doesnt work. Can always install bedroom sky in lounge I guess and I'll have the old one. 2nd hand box is 75€ so not buying !

[netibiza]

Chilly here too and no sun.
Shaney how is your bro? Hope hes recovering. And jno's OH? I now have that painful foot thing where it feels like I'm wearing a crumpled sock and I'm not.
Woofy hope you are ok and the woofer!

[jno]

just plodding on thank you, neti. It's the week off before the next round of treatment, so I've summoned the osteopath to deal with my toothache (caused by my jaw going a millimetre out of alignment, so hopefully he can push it back again). I have been out to Waitrose today, so I have a life full of excitement while OH sits at home researching ancestors.

Morning all
My brother came out of hospital yesterday Neti. He's doing Ok,thank you,and sounds more like his old self. They've reorganised his medication and told him to take it easy but that's easier said then done with him.He's got an appt to see his GP soon anyway.They wanted him to have someone go and assess his home and how he manages but he won't have it and says he's quite capable of looking after himself.
I suppose he is, as you can eat off the floor round there it's so clean and shipshape.I hope he does take things a bit easier though .I don't want any more frights.
How's your brother.How did he get on at the Marsden?
I hope getting your jaw sorted won't be too painful Jno. Nothing much doing here.Wet,cold and windy weather.
Hope you and the woofer are Ok Woofy. KBO folks .

[netibiza]

My bro is waiting for another appointment as he had to cancel due to having a tooth removed .
We bought a new LG tv and my god it has so many bells and whistles and google I cant cope. I have installed trh wifi and Netflix. I cant for the life of me get youtube. Have to agree to everything and then nothing!
Lively sunny day here. I've been in kitchen all morning making a chicken pot and peanut thai curry and pad thai noodles and even cooking rice as there is no pre cooked packets in the freezer!
Should be vaccinated within the few weeks!!

[woofgang]

good afternoon all, where did the morning go? I really hope everyone and their relis are doing ok. After all the kerfuffle about Sis's passport, it has arrived here safely much earlier than predicted so she could have received it at her house! Anyway all is well that ends well, she will be here soon. The high wind warning for our area has been taken away thank heavens. KBO all

Before my mum was married she worked in France as a nanny to a baby Willie and when he grew up he came to live with us so part of the family and also he brother Felipe ! Well Felipe died about 2 weeks ago and was cremated today and Willie aged 88 died today. So another part of the family and childhood has gone!
