First News flash in the new year

Posted on by

As it happened….

I switched on my computer on 1st day of the new year and nothing happened.

After a little investigation, you know if it is actually plugged in 🙂 and a call to my son,

it appears my computer is not working, kaput, dead, toast, non functional, gone to pieces, broken……

I think you get the picture.

 

During this time a computer is rather vital to keep in touch.

With the help of my son, I ordered a new one.

I am using right now my laptop, which I find a lot harder to use than my beloved desktop, specially with the cat on my lap. 🙂

A laptop is less versatile than the desktop.

I might be a little stressed but I am grateful

that I do have a laptop,

that I have help with technology (my son)

that we could still do our family quiz via zoom on the laptop.

that he could recover my files on the drive,

that I can learn from this, and not save stuff on my desktop…..

and that it can be solved, with just minor inconvenience really.

 

So really nothing to be stressed about.

 

So I am all relaxed again

looking forward to my new computer

and keep smiling.

 

Hope your new year started well and you are relaxed and happy!

Data Protection – GDPR

What is it?

The GDPR, among other things, requires companies and site owners to be transparent about how they collect, use and share personal data. It also gives individuals more access and more choice when it comes to how their own personal data is collected, used, and shared.

It’s important to understand that while the GDPR is an EU law, its requirements apply to all sites and online businesses who collect, store, and process personal data about residents of the EU.

You can read the full text of the law here. These resources are also helpful in understanding the principles and specific requirements of the law:

Stay strong

Over the years I have enjoyed my loyal Primula in a pot in my garden.

Every year it is the first plant to bloom.

This picture is from 30th March 2016

That plant is going through all type of weather, recently snow, winds, heavy rain …

it is quite old and yet

it keeps blooming, giving me joy.

It has now ( 30th March 2018) even more flowers.

It stays strong through it all.

We need to be strong too, when we go through rough patches,

and keep on blooming.

We are stronger than we think and like the flower,

we can get through it !

Have a strong and blooming day!
