Usual Saturday walk and then coffee
took delivery of parrot food, which was kindly sent yesterday by a very helpful company, the parcel they sent out last week is still AWOL apparently it has now been transferred to another delivery depot for delivery to me, which is astounding stupidity as they had to pass where I live on route to the other depot.

Went for a cuppa, on the Bird, at the Ponderosa Cafe on the Horseshoe pass with my good lady. Then spent far too long trying to get my Scala Cardo Q3 to talk to hers! I don't know if I'm missing something something simple but it's seriously pissing me off!!!!!!
Yep, updated the firmware on all units then reread the instructions. Realised that I'd missed an important step because I didnt have my glasses on!!
I put my glasses on and followed the instructions!
Works fine now! Lol
Amazing th
But I find Cardo temperamental at times.
When it knocks of it can be difficult to start it when you talk again. On the motorway it stays on because wind noise keeps mic open.
Amazing things.......................glasses.

I'm enjoying being able to talk to mine, so far! Lol
Thanks for that - we have our booster AND flu jabs tomorrow morning!And today I’ve a bloody, very, hurting, throbbing, sore arm where I was jabbed. Wifey too. Yet both previous jabs were unremarkable.
There was a very good documentary on BBC a couple of weeks back ‘The Shadows at 60’ or something similar. Well worth a watch if you didn’t catch it.
Did you spot the festival of ABBA stuff on bbc last night?
Noticed it was on but didn’t watch.
My arm hurts enough to make sleeping on that side almost impossible. This morning it is still like I’ve been firmly punched and is rather painful still.Thanks for that - we have our booster AND flu jabs tomorrow morning!
I don’t want you to be put off having your booster, but have it put into your less dominant arm.
I turned over towards the end when they were interviewing Agnetha and when she was also singing, and I mentioned to my wife just how clear her voice is still. Unlike many scandiwegians she is still as good looking as she was 40 years ago.
I downloaded their new album, Voyage, last night and I’m looking forward to listening to it shortly. I have always liked their music, I just hope their return doesn’t disappoint.
Heard a few tracks from voyage & the music is distinctive ABBA although I don’t think it carries the power of their original stuff, maybe I’m being picky as I want to remember them as they were.
If you haven’t already done so try and get to The ABBA Museum in Stockholm. Fantastic place, we were in there for about five hours. And The Vasa is just over the road…spectacular.
Having heard the whole album for the first time I’m in two minds. Clearly it’s not vintage ABBA music, but that’s to be expected after 40 years, it is very pleasant and I’ll be listening to it a few more times to see how it sits with me. I’m not disappointed to have downloaded it (but at 53p I shouldn’t be) and it will get played when I just want some nice music in the background
something that tickled me at The ABBA Museum was that the iconic backlight that they used on stage was literally old tin cans screwed onto sheets of fibreboard and painted Matt black.
