WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
Aside
The problem that myself and many others are experiencing is being unable to access certain comment boxes. Sometimes the comment button is absent and sometimes one makes the comment and a ‘page expired’ notice appears.
In my case, out of my favourites, Old Horsetail Snake, Jonny B, Granny P, Doctor Maroon, Greavsie and Zoe are all unobtainable at present. That is I can read them but cannot comment.
Spanish Goth thought it could be connected to my browser and cookies but three of us tweaked last night to no effect. Keith’s theory is
“Its Blogger/Google and Yahoo/GeoCities seem to have some sort of feud going at the moment and it's nigh on impossible for each side to comment on the others site’
And Peter Chen says
“There have been a spate of messages in the Google Blogger Help group of similar complaints. I myself have experienced it. The comment in one of my old post was set to not display the comments by itself. I did not do it. I have to manually reset the comment to display for that post.”
”This is likely one of the many teething pains of New Blogger. Suggest we all report this to Blogger support.

Let me know what you think. I have a date with the Coleridge Way.

BIRTHDAY TREAT
Aside
Yes I know my birthday is well and truly over but the girls have been busy so it was time for our GDO (girl’s day out) as my birthday treat ie they treat me to lunch and I buy the wine - but in that I was forestalled.
Margaret had planned it, which usually bodes well. We had been warned that the weather would be poor but although there was a September like mist there were patches of blue and we were in high spirits. Our coffee stop was Webber’s Post which overlooks mysterious combes. We had chocolate ginger with the coffee Margaret had packed and she reminded us there was a half an hour's walk past wooden sculptures if we fancied it. To my delight Joy and Jackie, who are presently having slight mobility problems, agreed to have a go. It is on the flat and has plenty of resting places. The walk was so lovely with all the bird song, and the sculptures were fascinating.
Then we had a drive through Dunster down the very windy road towards Dulverton. Margaret is used to the top road and felt sure we must have overshot the Dulverton turning as it took so long, but we kept reassuring her we hadn’t passed it and it would soon appear. Then, in spite of our warnings she overshot and turned rather violently left to our screams of protest. But the minx had been having us on and we were actually going north of the road to Dulverton to Pulhams Mill on the road to Wimbleball Lake. PM is one of the oldest sites on Exmoor (1086). A thousand years ago the mill was standing on the banks of the Pulham River and grinding locally grown wheat.
An English couple now run it as a show case for high quality local and British arts and crafts. The husband told us in 1979, just back from living in Australia, they were inspired to renovate the ruin of the mill. He showed us photographs of the gradual renovation which still continues. There is now a shop and café. The husband Ian Mawby makes superb quality furniture and Pauline Clements is an illustrator for the National Trust and places such as Chatsworth House and York Minster. She also paints bone china mugs and tea sets for the shop.
We could have had lunch in the garden by the stream but the slight chill kept us indoors. We were allowed to bring our own wine which Margaret provided in spite of my protests and I wasn’t allowed to contribute at all. I’m a little hazy about what we did after lunch. We certainly wandered round the shop and the garden, sat briefly in the sunshine and drove home.

HELP HOUSTON!
Aside
We have a problem. Over the week-end I have experienced difficulty in leaving comments on some other blog sites. I have run a check and apparently my HTTP is OK and my HTTPS is OK but my FTP is not connecting. This is all Geek to me. I will try to get it sorted but have a medical MOT today and visitors arrive tomorrow so please bear with me and excuse any absence at your place.

April 1st
Aside
I was horrified when my husband said, as I was making breakfast tea (Earl grey for me, workman’s stand –the- spoon- up -in -it for the men),
“There’s a dead mouse in the back porch!”
When I rushed to look he chortled. I’d been April Fooled and he did it with the visiting son also. Drat! I’m slipping! Time was when I used to get everybody but it has to be before twelve noon.
Did you get anybody? Or were you like me a hapless victim?
