I now have a new tea cup or perhaps I should call it tea mug. They had two different colors on this specific mug, one leaning towards blue and one towards grey. I have a really good sense of color, I have after all been working with colors for well over 25 years and I could for my life not see any difference at all 🙂 🙂 🙂 I’ll see if I can find the receipt because for some reason the blue costed less 🙂 🙂 I do like it what ever color it has though 🙂
It has been rather warm today so the snow has melted away pretty much now and I doubt we’ll have much left tomorrow except for in the forest where there’s lots left. I have one pair of winter shoes that doesn’t let any water in if walking in puddles or like here where all roads now are covered in water but they are dangerous to walk where it is slippery, even though it said they were slip safe 🙂 🙂 I also have the dubbed shoes which are perfect to walk on ice but they tend to let water in, so I used those and we had our walk in the forest instead than to the creek, despite all snow which makes it hard to walk. Alma sort of behaved well today again so lots of treats to her and Malkolm of course whos only problem is that when he follows a track he doesn’t stop. He is fairly low and rather strong so if he turns in between trees somewhere I tend to follow if I’m not prepared 🙂
It went much smoother to install the computer than I thought it would so when we had come home after our walk I just had one thing to do, install the anti virus program. I gave up after an hour and unsubscribe to it 🙂 🙂 🙂 I can have up to six computers on the same subscription but there are no links to download it!!! I called my phone/ internet company but they couldn’t find any link either, the only thing they did was to send me a link, via text message that told me I just had to follow the link they had put in a mail to me, the problem is that only a new subscriber get that mail!!!! So I wonder why they can’t send me that mail? So when they asked for a review about how I think they handled the problem I answered, well lets say I don’t think they’ll ask me again to be a subscriber 🙂 🙂 🙂 So I have till the end of this month left of the old subscription and it’s on this old computer. I have found the best for Mac’s (according to Mac’s own paper/club? So I’ll check it out, it is also much cheaper than the one I have now 🙂
I also became pretty annoyed on Malkolm this morning. I still have an ordinary tv-antenna here and when I sat down to watch the morning news, someone had chewed off the cable not in one place but in two!!! For some reason Malkolm rushed upstairs as soon as I picked the pieces up from the floor 🙂 🙂 🙂 He has never done anything like this before so I was quite surprised. No bigger problem I though I’ll just watch tv on the computer. Well now, turns out there isn’t any speaker in the Mac 🙂 🙂 🙂 so now I’ve ordered a new antenna cable because that was much cheaper to buy than any speakers 🙂 🙂 🙂 It’ll be here in a few days. Good thing I have a very weak one in the old computer 🙂 but that’s also the only luxury there is, no microphone and no camera but I do have a weak speaker 🙂 🙂 🙂
I don’t watch much on tv, I look at any history-, Science-, biathlon-and garden program and those are rare so I really don’t miss much until that cable arrives 🙂 I’ve already had that last cup of tea for the day so now I don’t know what to do 🙂 🙂 🙂
Have a great day!

I have been thinking about buying a laptop since I read that they may get more expensive if Trump follows through with tariffs. But I don’t want the hassle of setting one up!

Hi ppekka!
Oh yes it will be much more expensive for us all because all the others will of course have tariffs on US made products so prices will be spiraling up, then again we won’t have tariffs on products made outside the US so if we can find similar products made in the rest of the world we might get it easier than You will.
I fully understand not wanting that hassle 🙂 🙂 🙂 I have to say though that it was much easier than I thought it would be 🙂

One of the biggest problems I have with my computers each year is when my security software, BitDefender, renews. It’s also a subscription for multiple devices, but the most I can manage is the desktop and laptop PCs and then I’m so disgusted I don’t bother with the iPhone and iPads. But I’ve never had a virus or malware problem with the Apple products. It seems hackers feed on Windows primarily because the code is so badly written, it’s full of bugs and loopholes to exploit.
Our snow is melting, too, but the weather is getting colder again, in the 20s and teens F, so the sun will have to do all the work. No more snow in the forecast, too, so that’s good.
My cats have chewed through cords (one now likes to chew on the connectors you plug in, but so far hasn’t ruined any). But the biggest thing they do is step on the power strip behind my TV, which has the TV, router, DVD player, cable box plugged into it. They shut down EVERYTHING. At first it’s scary, I think the power has gone out, but then I go back there and see the switch off, so it’s an easy fix.

Hi catsworking!
Apple do have an extra security already on line so it is harder to kidnap those products but it’s always best to at least have the computer and iPad protected. Windows seems to put out products they haven’t looked through properly so it must be easier to get virus in those but the main thing is Never press on links You get in mails or from sources You don’t know what they are 🙂
Almost all snow is gone now 🙂 Some left in the forest and ice on the roads but it will stay warm at nights now so it might be gone already tomorrow afternoon 🙂
🙂 🙂 Thankfully none of my dogs and cat have done that and this was the first time Malkolm had chewed on a cable and I do hope it stays that way 🙂
