The photo has nothing to do with what I am going to natter on about, but you all deserve to see a pretty picture!

a) Natter; for those of you without an English background (and I do mean English, not American in this case!) it means pretty much the same as yak or blather.  Ready?

b) Passwords; pretty sure you all have the same issues and if you do not, why?  Almost everything you sign up for or are a regular viewer of or online place you shop wants a User Name and a Password. The more complicated the better.  Do you remember them all?  Because they are each supposed to be different, and kept in a safe place NOT taped up next to your computer.  “Security is paramount.” I have been told.  Uhuh, okay, but…I have more than one email, WAY more than one user name and password.  In fact I have an entire “little black book” of them.  Is it locked in a safe, or even in another room? NO, because then I’d have to remember that code, or interrupt my projects constantly to go find it.  Hard enough in the little black (sorry it is blue) book!
A friend recently said they had attempted to access (leave a comment) on this blog but could not recall their user name.  That one I was able to help them with, wahoo! [Because, apparently I have the power!]  They did have to reset their password, something I expect all of us have had to do more and more.  Soon, “the little grey cells” (to borrow from Hercule Poirot) will be full of only, yep, passwords.  Not that we will remember what they get us into, or where they will take us…

c) Another picture for your enjoyment, as I attempt to recall what the other item was I planned to share.  It seems to have vanished, along with those passwords!  I’m working on this while waiting for a file to download so definitely not wasting time.

Perhaps I shall try again for the automatic notification of new posts…which supposedly is in place but has yet to happen! Oh, I know, IT is gone with the passwords too.  Or was a case of, as my sis used to say, “Pretend I said it already…”  Huh
