Everyone seemed relaxed and merry in the shops ...

And the soft warm drizzle hazed the distance and was eagerly drunk by our blooming strawberry tree (previous post about it) and our Veggie-Garden-with-a-View.

A healthy lunch was afterwards offset by rather too much chocolate, Christmas cake, mince pies and custard. Never mind. It's only once a year.
And then followed by the usual electronic play in the lounge amidst the debris. I have a new iPad, so I was having fun too!
By the way if you don't know and always wondered, to cross out a word or words like
Editor: Hmmm, it seems from the above that you don't even need to go into html!
Let's try those instructions again:
Just before it, add < s > and after add < / s > But without the spaces.
Aha! I had wondered now and then how to do that. I shall try it forthwith. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteJudith - see Geeb's commet. There is one on the format bar. D'uh.
DeleteiPads are the best ~ gets me away from sitting in front of a laptop to ~ an iPad following me everywhere I go.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with mine Carol.
DeleteActually there is a strikethrough button on the format bar which allows you to highlight the words and use it the same way as italic or bold. I did discover recently though that you can't use strikethrough HTML in comments even though you can use bold, italic and link etc.
ReplyDeleteThe voice of sense Geeb. Of course there is one there. How did I miss it!?
DeleteYour 'healthy lunch' looks remarkably similar to our Christmas Even supper; even down to the mustard. However, your ham looks a lot nicer than ours; France isn't big on boiled ham. That 'strikethrough' business is too complicated for me!
ReplyDeleteI thought of you when I bought la moutarde Cro. It's French. Et le jambon est très bonne et juteuse. <--- I am learning French with 'Duolingo'
DeleteAnd re strikethrough - I made it much harder than it really is - see Geeb's commet. There is one on the format bar. D'uh.
Yep, our christmas lunch looked a bit like that.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered about the strike through but ca't seem to work it out. I'll persevere later when I've has time to catch up with all the blogs.
Helsie - see Geeb's commet. There is one on the format bar. D'uh.
DeleteYes Graham is correct BOLD and ITALIC are easy in comments Strike through won't work. (s) is unacceptable in blog comments.
ReplyDeleteI don't strike so it matters little to me.
Adrian, you probably mean what you say and say what you mean :-)
DeleteYes it's only once a year! so enjoy! As for strike through I think I will stick to backspacing - easier for a bear with a little brain.
ReplyDeleteNote to Alden: Strike through is not used to make corrections to unintended mistakes (backspacing does that), strike through is used when you want to show your progression of self-corrections by your internal editor, usually as a humorous touch!
DeleteNote to RWP: "Strike through" is when you grab a bowling ball and send it thundering towards the end of the alley, scattering all the skittles.
DeleteIndeed, Alden. I just wish I hadn't eaten all my Malteasers in one day, then I'd have some to eat today.
DeleteYou are a more direct fellow than a 'B of LB'
RWP - Yes, I do try to be funny. Thank you for noticing.
YP - Bowling has started to be popular here in Newbie Land.
still awaiting our family Christmas....... the blackout put paid to that until the New Year.
ReplyDeleteOh No! Well, at least you're having one SOMEtime.
