Or run Firefox without add-ons, just in case one isn`t working properly -
press the ALT button to reveal some tabs at the top, click on Help, restart firefox with add-ons disabled.
Is your firefox up to date? might be worth updating it if not -
ALT button, help, about. There`ll be a version No. in there, I`m on 65.0.2 but its just downloaded an update so newest version will be different.

Thanks for that GP24, I'll give it a try.

Hope it helps Dave, 10 secs to view a pic would do my nut in.

It's certainly doing mine! Tried without add ons got to about 17 secs then sacked it, back to where I was & it was taking about 9 secs. Think I'm going to go get a big hammer & if that fails I'll drag the lad round, point & say, Fix it!

I would swap them two round, get lad round first, then try the hammer.

First day of spring.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes...Spring.
Spring is Weddings and birthdays.....so I have been busily making a selection of cards.
Here they are.
The one with inedible chocolate was for my daughter....given to her by her son....along with flowers and real chocolate.
The one with the little green?(Morris traveller) van was for himself...it was his birthday on St Patrick's day.
The birthday card with the tall cake was for my daughter from us.
The two Wedding cards are cards I have been asked for.
I have another three of these to make.....these will bring in funds for The Borneo expedition....every little helps.

[Margaret Pilkington]

More cards from me.
Spring is weddings and births...though not always in that order.
The wedding card....I was asked to make.....the wedding theme is shades of purple....so I echoed this in the card.
The baby card....again, I was asked to make this.
I wrote the verse to go inside....so no chance of anyone going into Card Warehouse and Buying one exactly the same.

Two variants from this evening at Southport

[Ryewolf90]

When I first saw this at a distance I thought it was a weird mallard hybrid, but once it got a bit closer and I could see it's beak I realised it was a Shoveler...

Some red squirrels at Formby Point from Saturday, if you've never seen any before this is the place to go...

[Margaret Pilkington]

Lovely pictures Ryewolf.
I sat in a park in Shanklin for hours one spring day watching these little critters.
They fascinate me.

I went to Formy point to see the red squirrels.
After about 15 minutes and a few successful photographs six coaches turned up each containing over 50 small school children, all dressed in little yellow high visibility jackets.
They were running around squealing like headless chickens, the accompanying adults seemed powerless to calm them so that was the end of my visit to Formby point.
Not all was lost as far as photography was concerned because we drove another three miles to see the Anthony Gormley statues in the sea where I managed some good shots with the sea swirling around the statues legs.

[Margaret Pilkington]

One day I will take myself off to see these.

I’m using my phone. Margaret and the photos are in a PC somewhere else otherwise I would post then here.
