Hello, Elle!
Posts crossed, see above, re Jess!
Yes, I think it far too early to be receiving cards.
I have written mine and put them to one side.
The ones for Ireland will be posted first.
I have no presents to buy, so that is me set for Christmas.
There will be you and thousands of others at the panic buying!

Oops, Rusty!
Our posts crossed !
I have just checked in the TV guide and yes …"Sports Personality of the Year" presented by Jess Ennis!
Well spotted!
I shall record the programme, and see how Jess does.
Yes, I like her very much; she always comes across as a very genuine person.

Surprisingly, my last post was allowed through without any Captcha pictures?
Nary a traffic light in sight!
Fingers crossed for this delivery......

Oops! TWO crossings now!
Well, at least you have written your cards....and I have not even bought the 'special' family cards yet!
I have cards to send Overseas , too.

Last posting went with only a tick, too....do you think Ash has "tweaked" something?

Hello, Elle!
Jess is a very natural lass! I like her a lot, too!
I am recording her programme, too.
Maybe she'll be the next Gary Lineker!
I doubt if Ash can do much to Captcha?
It is not his app as far as I understand it.
Well done on the tick!
Is that on Edge?
I am OK on Chrome, still.

Hi, Rusty!
Recorder all set now....
Speaking of sports personalities.......my daughter went home on Sunday with Jo's book "This Mum Runs."
She has been expressing a wish to read it for some time!
I hope she enjoys it.
Yes, I am still using Edge , although I have put an Adblocker on Chrome now, so I could use that...but when I tried Chrome yesterday, I got as many Captcha pictures as I do with Edge!
So why change ?
But strangely, everything I have sent this evening, using Edge, has gone through with only a tick ..and NO pictures!
That has never happened to me before?
Did you read FtSalmon's second (longer) post on the Captcha thread?
Andy seems to be having problems, too.
Norah said that Ash was looking into it to see what could be done?

Hello, Elle!
I am voting for Geraint Thomas for SPOTY.
I still get pictures on Brave, but not on Chrome.
Hope EDGE continues in picture free mode.
Yes, I read that post.
He wants Great British pictures.
Should I ask for Donegal pictures?
Pigale for French ones?
And members from around the world, including the USA and Australia!
I don't hear any of them needing special pictures.
Yes, a pity for Andy.
Hopefully Ash can do something to help them.

A Very Good morning to you, Rusty!
This morning is warm and wet.
We are certainly see-sawing between weather extremes.
A very muddy dog resulted from my morning walk!
What is it like up your way today?
I have nothing specific planned for today, except for some paperwork to sort......and some letters to write.
How about you? Any plans?

Good morning, Elle!
We are into Winter here!
Quite cold with thick hard frost this morning!
Red noses are all the rage!
My plans involved buying screenwash for my motor.
So, i did a biggish shop earlier, and carried it home.
I messed up with the "Jess" recording.
Must not have set the recorder properly, so no programme!
You still fine on Edge with no pictures?

Hi, Rusty!
I well remember my girls going off to school in the early mornings with red noses (as you say!) and also blue knees from the cold - because they insisted on turning up their skirts at the waist when they reached the end the road out of my sight!.... only, of course, to have to turn them down again when they got to school!
What they would suffer for "street cred"!
What a shame that you missed seeing Jess....I haven't watched the programme yet.
This morning is proving to be chaotic ...doorbell and phone constantly ringing!
I've so far achieved very little!
The later posts yesterday evening and the first this morning went out without Captcha pictures....
Is this down to good luck ?
Or Ash's good management?
I wonder what will happen with this......

Hello, Elle!
Raining now!
Good news about your Captcha, Elle!
Maybe Ash did tweak something?
Who knows!
Hope it continues.
I still have them on Brave, but they are a minor niggle, for me, at least.
I have finished my puzzle...and it was tough!
One or two pars still elusive, and I think that's due to my lack of knowledge.
