A new what-I-did-today thread

Yes.

A petticoat in archery terms is the part of the target not covered by the coloured rings.

Well, I should really have said "Keep rubbing it in" instead of never say die, shouldn't I, since the Scots won?

Goodness, Bags! Nellie's technical jargon was easier to understand than that! What's a 'petticoat' in shooting terms?

Good shooting (bow 'n' arrow) today. I hope I can keep it up for tomorrow's tournament at Bannockburn (never say die! ). Meanwhile, DH is thinking I should enter a barebow and longbow (i.e. traditional bow) outdoor tournament in Aberlour in March. It's called the Glenlivet Frost-bite Tournament. Prizes for the most 'petticoats'.

Thank goodness that's been cleaned cleared up!

Oh bother! should have read it properly, the gremlins stole the words from my post!
"I eventually realised that I had inserted the lead from the new toy into the wrong orifice on my older toy. When I put it into the correct hole in the old toy it worked perfectly."

It made me realise how much easier and safer it was to use the "jargon" .

Happy birthday kitty hope it's. been a good one

Happy Birthday, Kitty. Cheers!

Ana innocent double entendre! I posted a full technical explanation of my computer scanner interface problem this morning at about 10:50ish, but JO5 couldn't understand the "techie" talk so I explained in simple language.

Happy birthday Kitty

Ok Nelliemoser. That's a lot clearer.

I don't think you should keep saying 'orifice'.

Happy birthday kitty hope you're having a lovely day

Happy Birthday Kitty. Hope your day is turning out well

Happt Birthday, kitty. Happy, even! (it's Berliner Brot, actually; hope you like)

DD2 just popped in for lunch. I made a Delia thing with homemade pesto, fresh pasta, and green beans and Parmesan. According to Delia it's over 800 calories a portion

JO5 Sorry my previous post was in Technical jargon. I will explain!

I had a new toy for Christmas and I started to play with it today. To start with it didn't work at all and I thought it was a software problem, but it wasn't the software at all, it was the hardware that was a problem!
There was a lead which needing inserting into an orifice to get it to work, but although I had inserted the lead into an orifice on new toy I had not inserted the other end into anything at all!

When I discovered this I inserted the loose end into an orifice on my older toy but it still did not work.

I eventually realised that I had inserted the lead from the new toy into the wrong orifice on my older toy. When I put it into the the
Scanner and laptop now connected and working!
What did you think I meant!

All packed! Why does the volume you packed for arrival double when being prepared for departure?
Is this some obscure law of physics I have never met?
Perhaps bags can elucidate!
