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.)

Happy birthday Jude if you are looking in! Xx

well, what a nice run of sunny days - I actually lay on a sun lounger for two hours doing nothing, just not quite falling asleep. (That was after I'd done the Waitrose run.)

I've just begun a new roll of kitchen paper towels and have realised the segments are now oblong rather than square. How sneaky!

I am in my second day of headache and stomach upset. Stomach upset is easing but I am so fed up, especially as I have got a nasty feeling that its a reaction to the only mozzie repellant I have ever found that works

[jno]

oh, that's so annoying, woofgang. Like those malaria pills I used to take which gave me the runs for days on end (perhaps that was what kept the mozzies away...)

[netibiza]

Whatever are you taking woofy? As I've now had my blood tests I've stopped taking iron (yuk) and B12 which I swear makes me smell of B12. We have plug ins to keep mossies away and seem to work. Its these other biting blighters that you can hardly see. Their bites itch like crazy and last for 3 weeks with black scabs. They seem to live in the garden greenery and in my lounge and kitchen!!
Wonder how Robi is. Hope her shingles is getting better. Sis is still in real pain with her face. They have decided that she does not have BCC and it's all to do with the shingles!
Another boring day here. Cant drive to Ibiza or San An as they are in lockdown so not a lot of places left to visit.

I was using Smidge spray. It seems to be very rare to get side effects but I found online two separate comments of the same symptoms of headache nausea stomach upset. Plan is to get completely better and then give the spray one more go to see if symptoms return. I'd be really loth to bin the spray as I am getting bitten like mad again. heigh ho

Just chom on garlic people say it works. We are sitting in a lovely little old bar in Talamanca having drinks and a plate of cheese. At least we are out for a few mins!

[jno]

that should keep everyone away, not jut mozzies. Garlic, made for social distancing!

[woofgang]

the research says don't bother neti, same as marmite.

[netibiza]

I eat garlic every day and still get bitten. Mr N doesnt get bitten at all ever!
Can you buy plug in mossie machines over there? If not shall I send you one with tablets?

[netibiza]

Hi everyone. I missed "Us" on BBC last night and cant find it anywhere yo download. I cant get iplayer here. If any of you notice it is repeated on tv can you please advise me, thanks

[jno]

[netibiza]

Not sure yet jno as sis is on my account with a UK address. I've asked her to pop in and ask. And hopefully, if need be I can change it to her address. This brexit is really upsetting me. We now have so much to do and change and I really dont understand much of it and its confusing so I ignore it and hope it will all go away!

You're not alone feeling that way Neti. Mr S has had his usual proof of life letter from Berlin for his pension and can't get anyone to sign it.He was lucky last year as the stoma nurse signed it at his annual check up but there's such a backlog in the NHS for routine appts I doubt his will come any time soon.
The surgery have refused him again and the job centre no longer want to know either and the only people who can sign it are medics or civil servants.
His passport has run out too.Covid stopped him being able to travel to London for the new one and he won't be going anytime soon for that either now it's on the rise again.He's now basically a" citizen of nowhere".They're still happy to take his income tax though.
However, I hope you're all toddling along .Hope your OH is ok Jno and the parents to be and that your bites soon heal up Woofy. I'm still on the hunt for those damn mozzies who bggerd up my leg.
My brother has a new car.The neon orange boy racer one conked out. He's also informed me he now has an Alexa in the kitchen and the lounge. I'd love to be a fly on the wall:)
Night all.

[woofgang]

Thank you for the offer neti, but i have got citronella oil diffusers everywhere.
Much better today and happy birthday Jude if you are looking in.
Poor old Rab has been thinking he is a puppy and now has an achey bag leg as a result. I keep dog pain relief in the house so am dosing him and making him rest.

[woofgang]

back leg

[netibiza]

I could just cry as I'm so confused about this Brexit. I am now awake at night wondering how to get through it . My lot are useless as they understand less than I do! Anyway santander UK have assured me that my account is ok and I can still use it abroad as that is how I get my pension.
Oh shaney poor Mr S it's just so awful.
Ceiling is down completely and he is now putting up new one. I am stuck in bedroom as can't go through lounge to get out or to kitchen. An enforced duvet day!
Poor Rab. Does he miss Shugie do you think, I mean apart from his back leg?

[netibiza]

I'm also waiting for doctor to phone with blood results
They are not important but I've had cystitis for last 3 weeks and cant but anything decent in chemist. Have been taking uk medicine which is 5 years out if date but doing the job. I need something from doctor. But cant get apps either!!

[jno]

looks as if jno jnr and Mrs will be back working from home for a while; they'd both been going into work 2 or 3 days a week. He says they're lucky, if Boris had said six months ago "This is going to last a year" they'd all have been sacked. So there's something to be said for lack of foresight.

[netibiza]

My goodness jno luckily they can work from home. Hija's job folded in April, she was working for Guess online but online company folded. she really liked that job too! Now she's back in Barcelona but jobs are very thin on the ground. She'll probably have to return home!! I would hate to be a young couple with children and rent to pay , especially here in Spain as there is no dole, but gov is paying them a pittance. Awful weird world we live in!!
