I am finding this board really hard to navigate. I find posts that sound interesting then discover they are years old. Try as I might, I cannot find “latest posts” or similar.

Tap on Forum, and you will find a line with Latest posts and latest comments, then tap on the words.

Response from Twohoots made on 27th Jan 2021 16:08:24
Still can’t find it.
Response from PatriciaB96 made on 27th Jan 2021 20:42:23
its not too difficult, just maybe a few days to get used to it , anyway welcome to the site
Response from Twohoots made on 28th Jan 2021 09:21:03
I have never come across such a confusing board! I still can’t find “latest posts” and how crazy is it to have to plough through stuff that’s years old? I will try once more before deciding this board isn’t for me.

Yes Norah, I love doing jigsaw puzzles. I find them relaxing to the mind, and fun just achieving the finished result. They can be very challenging which I love. My favourites are usual beautiful scenery. but have taken on some different subjects recently. With this last year of home confinement I have found jigsaws a life saver from boredom. I have many hobbies also but its good to do something that isn't technological for a change. I did try online jigsaws but didn't find that much fun.
Looking at the sales figures this last year for jigsaw puzzles, it apparently has doubled. From baby puzzles to a 100 year olds puzzles. I think they will go on forever.

I want to start gaming as a way of connection with my 10 year old granddaughter. I am unsure as to which games console to buy. I don't want to play shooting/fighting games. Any advise/hints gratefully accepted!

Hi everyone, Hope you are all well during the lockdown. I am alone here but not lonely. I am staying busy with my Rock Choir contacts, art hobby, and exercising to ward off the dreaded lockdown belly! family live away but I have frequent contact from them. Would love to chat to others in a similar situation with similar hobbies - or not - who would just like a chat. I am 72, retired, very active and interested in the theatre, films, books, socialising normally with friends. Let’s chat if you feel like it. If not, stay safe, stay positive, be happy.
Response from islandPat made on 29th Apr 2020 18:30:53
I too like a lot of what you like. I was supposed to fly to UK today and was going to see The Mousetrap at Wolverhampton's Grand Theatre.

On recent trips have been to Albert Hall for classical music, Nottingham classical music, opera and Jersey Boys, Biirmingham for Rocky Horror and Woverhampton Cats,

Am in a book club and like hiding up my tree (family history).

Pat 🙂
Response from larraine made on 30th Apr 2020 09:49:35 > @islandPat
Hi Pat, Lovely to “meet” you. Intriguing that you were going to fly to UK. Has me wondering where you are but understand if you don’t want to share. Like “You’ve Hotmail.” I too prefer to keep personal details out of it.
I have seen The Mousetrap in London a few years ago. Interesting and when you’ve seen it you become part of the club to keep the ending secret.
Not particularly into classical music unless it is one of the popular ones but have seen the other three you mention and loved them all.
I am not in a book club but often toy with the idea. I’m reading Michael Faber’s The Crimson petal at the moment but finding it heavy going. I always need something to be on the go, though.
I’m just recovering from Joe Wick’s morning exercise - I do adapt them for me or else I’d probably drop dead through the effort needed but when I went into lockdown I set a goal for myself that I was not going to come out of it having to find myselfagainunderneathall the weight I’d put on.
How are you managing to keep occupied during lockdown?
Take care and stay safe. Kind regards.
Response from islandPat made on 30th Apr 2020 11:08:37
I live in Cyprus now, that's why I'm Island Pat 🙂

The book club I belong to is different to most. We don't have a book we must read each month. We read what we like then tell everyone at our monthly meetings our views on the books. It means that you hear about books you'd wouldn't normally, it can inspire you to try a new author. I'm the black sheep of the group. The others are all arts based and I'm science based so I veer away from their choices. I like who done it's but not gory, more Miss Marple type. At the moment I'm reading (I downloaded both of these months ago so they are not related to now) a Daniel Defoe - his take on living through the plague in 1665 and then a book by Rachel Rideal, 1666 Plague, War and Hellfire. I liked the idea of looking at the plague from someone present at the time with the knowledge of the era and afterwards a look back from a modern point of view.

History I love and I'm often up a tree - my family history tree 🙂 and I've done quite a bit during lock down.

I love all sorts of music which goes from the classics to Meatloaf and lots in between. 🙂 Good music is just that whatever category it has been placed in.

I walk our dog for my exercise, she walked in here an abandoned puppy at only a few weeks old and she'll be 5 the end of next month - estimate from the vet when we first had her. She's a blonde lab/pointer cross with a smaller breed in there as she's only about two thirds lab or pointer size. When we first got her think Andrex blonde pup with long ears and lots of spare skin.

I no longer play sport but watch quite a bit - my husband doesn't though :).

Best wishes

Pat

Apparently I have 40 unread Forum notifications...how the heck do I get to read them? This is all so complicated to access...I assumed if I clicked on the box it would bring them up...but nothing. Help!
Response from CaroleAH made on 17th Oct 2019 00:04:37
Hi,
If you look at the right-hand side of your screen you should see a small turquoise box with a white arrow in it. If you click on the white arrow a list of all your notifications and private chat messages will appear. Good luck 🙂
