OLD WELLIES

Just thrown these wellies away, they were so uncomfortable, and I now have a spanking new pair of flowery ones.  I have painted these ancient ones for posterity.

****!!!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING!  Tried to download my pic from my computer and have been blocked by google. Yesterday I felt really sorry for Laura Moore,(check her blog it's excellent) now it is me who is incensed and I am downloading  a file to picasa as I speak, before I can download just one photo onto my blog.  Is anyone else in this situation?  Laura was complaining about it on facebook. Flipping heck (thats not what I'm saying in my head). Life should get simpler not harder.



Quite frankly, I've lost interest in the wellies now.  Sulk, sulk



Added this today Monday, downloaded Chrome and can now download pics from computer, thanks Sharon!

  1. I've not had problems uploading photos and I've heard it may depend on the browser you use - Internet Explorer apparently - I use google chrome so if you use IE then try switching to Google chrome - it may be as simple as that - but then it may not!

  2. nice Wellies Polly, not a word used here they are called gumboots but when I read your title it immediately brought back my English childhood. I have not experienced the photo upload yet but do have a bit of tech issues often on my Facebook uploads

  4. Thanks for the mention Polly. Just checked out Sharon's advice about Google chrome, which I had already but normally still use Explorer, and it works thanks goodness. So all back to normal my end. Hope the same goes for you too and thanks to Sharon. Love the boots. Are you going to paint your flowery ones too as you seem to be in boot mode??? lol :-)

    1. Will get Chrome on the go, am going to watch catch-up tv first. Glad you are back to normal. Will not be painting new wellies as they are far too complicated and I like an easy life. Would be a challenge though ........

  5. The boots are very nicely and loosely painted, nice work!
    I can imagine how frustrating the browser problems were. I've been using Google's Chrome for blogging for a long time now. I know the big players like MS and Google use dirty tricks to force us to use their software, but what can you do. I end up having to switch browsers depending on what I'm doing.
