From my cockpit...

I feel like the captain of an Airbus A380 as I contemplate my pc screen and keyboard!  It never becomes any easier, as, the minute I feel confident about one thing, it changes and I have to learn all over again.  Since my other pc became riddled with viruses hundreds of years ago - well, it feels like it - Philip insists I use Google Chrome and gmail on this temporary one, for security reasons (which I don't understand).  All I know is I don't seem to have a Word page, emails frequently disappear into cyberspace even before I read them, and recently somebody updated the format of this blog, just to test me!!!


Trying to save photos and get them here is fraught with difficulties for me, and it sometimes takes hours before I fluke it.  I'll bet you all took it for granted this blog just wrote itself and the photos just popped in as if by magic!  No, no, it doesn't work like that, I assure you.  Well, not for me, anyway.   Let me try now with some of your pics, Olga:

Hooray, that one worked.  It was taken in Wollongong, at the Botanic Gardens.

Wow - two out of two.  Amazing.  You obviously have a top camera, as the quality of the photos is so clear.

My next trick is to get pics from your Powerpoint presentations, Michael, following the instructions you sent.  I'll work on that for tomorrow.  Meanwhile, don't hold your breath anybody...
