Hi Sue hun, no nothing yet, I did suggest contacting Social Services but his mum say's she will not have a stranger in the house, so it's back to square one, wait and see.

Tec, how old is Mac, do you know and if so what area did he live in when he was in the Navy.

Janet - when dementia was taking over my dad's memories I made a "memory" album for him of all the photos of his parents and siblings, aunties etc. He would look through the photos and tell us things we had never known. My brother would quickly scribble down notes because we knew when dad was gone the stories would be gone too. My dad always talked about his family and we always knew our grandparents and great grandparents names including maiden names. It made things easier to get started on the family history. When dad would look through the album he would tell us little things such as his father being known as Charlie not Charles and about going to tea with his maiden aunts - one who was very strict and one who was very gentle and would spoil him with cream cakes and sweets. I actually have a birthday card from these two great aunts who were quite elderly at that time. Apparently they loved having my mother and I around for afternoon tea. I also found out that I knew other relatives that had previously been names on the family tree. Of course I don't remember them - only my grandfathers and my grandmother.

Good morning/evening all

It is becoming difficult to know who is on and when, and I don't help matters by popping on the Thread at odd times, but you all know who you are so I shall conent myself with a "Greetings to all"

We have heaps of old phots and I really must get around to labelling them before I forget who they are of. I have two old ones of my grandfather Clifford and one oh his family taken sometime between 1928 and 1930.

I also heve a few of my maternal grandmother with, possibly, one of my maternal grandfather

When I was younger I was very interested in photography, and bought bulk slide film and processed the films myself.

I have many hundreds of slides which I want to scan onto disc


Allan

I've no idea Diane, you'll have to ask him, I think he may be a little older than me, there are people out there older than me you know lol.
Tec

Hi Allan how you doing well I hope

Diane

Hi, Allan - hope you are well.

If you ask Mac he'll give you a website that shows the work he has done on old aircraft. It's very interesting. I think he also works at the York Air Museum. I think he's in his early 70's

Sue xx

Tec hun being nosey, how old are you, cheeky I know, just want to get an idea of Mac's age

Diane

Hello, Diane, Sue and Tec

I hope that you are all ok, and that Mrs Tec is now in good health

Allan

Good Morning Allan - Sir,

Hope you're as bright as a button this morning.
You are obviously very clever to scan slides onto disc, I cannot do anything like that, but when Berona get here in her capacity as IT Consultant, no doubt she will teach me a thing or two,

Tec

Thank's Sue that will save Tec from answering a nosey question from me, my dad is 84yrs so to old to have known Mac.

Diane

Diane,
I am 68 years old, and I don't care, as mentally I feel 48, just a bit slower that's all.
Tec

I don't know for sure Dianne - just a few things he has said. I know he's not what I'd call elderly which to me is 80 onwards. Hope that doesn't offend anyone:-)))

www.yorkshireairmuseum.co.uk

at Elvington just outside York. I think Mac's photo is on there. It is an excellent day out, we went last year

having posted that, good evening everyone.
Tec you are just in your prime. I was 60 this year,so am obviuosly very young.

Thanks Linda - I thought I'd put it on my favourites but couldn't find it.

Hi, Barbra - what's up my love?

Sue xx

Tec, no not clever. I'll scan them into the computer first and then burn them to a disk.

I backed up all my current photos on the computer onto a DVD a few days ago. At first I tried an ordinary copy command but kept getting an error message. After that I used a disk-burning programme I have called "Nero" and that did it.

As a bonus I discovered that we could view the pics on the disk using our DVD player so no we can see them on TV!


Allan

Hi Barbra, what's up hun,, don't want to pry but if we can help you know we will if you want to talk pm one of us, you know we are here to listen as well as natter.

Diane x
Edited= just deleted part of my post, dotty or what, got you mixed up with Linda's life hun, sorry.

Good Evening Linda,

It may have escaped your notice, but I have, more than once, refferred to you as "young lady" in my post.

My age is the reason I can apparently no longer spell, which is very worrying as I was once good at it.

Tec

we had shed loads of rain last night, but it was a lovely day today. OH went down to the allotment to do some digging, he likes digging, he keeps saying that anyway.After I did a bit of housework, I had a walk down and picked yet more sprouts and some leeks. There are also some Chrysanthemum plants which are full of flowers,so I picked a huge arm full and have them in the house and gave some to the neighbour.

On the local news, it was showing pictures of this day last year,when it was snowing. Apparently it is the mildest October since the records began.
