There's been talk of snowdrops and the approach of Spring, so I thought it would be lovely to have a Sunshine emoticon to banish the gloomy days and herald in spring.
A bit early, I know, but hopefully this will give the Gransnet 'techies' time to get one up and running. They'd be interested to know how many of you are interested.

I want a LOT of sunshine, please! Prefer cold, icy winters from that point of view. Last winter was great for sunshine if not for gritted roads. This year's been a bit miz weatherwise.

Ok, thanks for the thoughts all. We're slightly starting to feel like flowers, bears and sunshine might be too much cuteness for the system to handle... but we'll have a think.

kittylester, if you'd like to save your post before you leave, you can always copy it, so that you can paste it into a word document. To do this, highlight what you want to copy, then just click ctrl and c (on a PC) or cmd and c on a Mac. Then, once you're in word (or anywhere else you want to paste it), just click ctrl and v (cmd and v on a Mac). Then you can save it if you want, or leave it on your screen for as long as you need to. Hope that helps!

Thanks Josie I worked out that I could do that but it's a bit convoluted if the doorbell rings etc etc. Never mind. If I come back to it and can't remember (perish the thought!!) then it was probably not that important anyway!

Josie - thanks for comments, but sunshine isn't cuteness - it's a necessity! grin. See what you can do, please.

Thank you for saying that, butty. I wanted to but couldn't think of the way to do it. I don't do cute, josie. Tell Tech we are snarling at the very suggestion! That could be a useful emoticon too. Grr sometimes isn't quite enough. Bring on the lions.

Josie, if the christmas hats have been disappeared for the duration, I am sure there is room now for a sunshine emoticon. I am beginning to feel very determined about this.....

And buttercups are very determined. Did you know that when you see a whole field of buttercups, it's probably one plant?

OK, we are definitely hearing you on the sunshine smile

We are slightly feeling a flower is worth a thousand words, or whatever the ads used to say.

Personally, quite like the fingers down the throat, but can just imagine what tech would say if we suggested it. Fingers would be down our throat.
