No problems with the Captcha pictures today, as I am using Firefox browser,( as recommended by Norah) on laptop. Yesterday, on a tablet caused many pictures to be solved. Today, just a tick

Hello, Elle!
Lucky you with the fine weather!
Miss O is collecting me at 11 (Miss O time!).
I have noticed one or two others complaining about the reCaptcha set up.
But some have no problems with it.
I think it may depend on which browser etc folk are using?
It can be a blooming nuisance, certainly!

Hi, Rusty!
Are you back home again yet?
I hope you and the birthday girl had a good outing?
I expect you treated her, as it is her birthday?
( Although I am sure that you probably always do that, anyway!)
I have been idling away the remainder of my morning very pleasantly..... reading, and doing the Everyman and the ST Cryptic crosswords.
I thought both were very good puzzles today.
I have remembered to set the recorder for tonight's BGT Final, but I shall endeavour to watch it "live"......
Just in case I want to vote!

Hello, Elle!
Been home for a while.
Miss O and me had a good time!
We always let me pay!
I am recording BGT, as usual, it is on for a long time tonight.
I am cheering for Ben Hart, and Libby and Charlie!

Hi, Rusty!
I had wondered whether you might watch BGT at the time it is shown, tonight, so that you can support your favourite (s) by voting for him (them)?
I have been looking at photos of the family taken in Eastbourne.....over the holiday weekend.
My daughter has emailed me a lovely collection of pictures.
None unfortunately of herself, though.
She was always the one taking the shots!

Hello, Elle!
I think tonight's show lasts about 3 hours, which is far too long for me to watch.
But I'll see later, if I'll attempt to watch.
Maybe your daughter does not like getting photographed?
It has been a fine afternoon here.
Still no contact from Outlook?

Hi, Rusty!
Gordon Bennett!
I really think I must learn some swear words!
Recaptcha won't hear/ see them...... but I might feel a lot better if I could curse colourfully!
It took me ten pictures to answer a simple crossword query......by which time the moment was long past!

Now, Outlook!
I have just checked in again to my husband's email account, and found that a message was left earlier this afternoon, saying that there had been no reply from our end!
I had twice sent them specific details of the problem........so wherever are these emails going?
I have now answered them yet again......and requested that they please me ASAP, so that we can sort this out.
Please keep your fingers crossed...although I don't recommend that you hold your breath!

Yes, BGT is about two and a half hours!
I'm not sure I shall have the staying power!

Oops, Rusty!
That should have read "that they please telephone me ASAP"...
Sorry for the typo!

Good evening, Elle!
Now, now!
Swearing is not clever!
You have several dictionaries full of other words you can use!
Have you thought of using a different browser for this site?
Maybe make a difference to reCaptcha ?
Well, that is a degree of progress from Outlook, I suppose?
I shall start to watch BGT, but am recording it, too!

Hi, Rusty!
Seriously, I have never sworn in my life, as I do not at all hold with using bad language......nor will I ever do so!
But felt I should emphasise just how frustrating I am finding reCaptcha!
Strangely, this has only happened over this last week.....apart from the very initial problems when reCaptcha was first installed
I tried out a number of other browsers, Rusty, when we first had the reCaptcha problem...
I did not find any difference between them, on my desk top..... all were equally at the mercy of reCaptcha!
Maybe Ash will be able to tone it down a bit?
I am watching BGT.....
