I've now booked speakers for 2025. All Derbyshire. have to admit I've been pecking their heads since last year so I'm really pleased they have all agreed to come.

Our next speaker is in June this year and is the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Portable Antiquities officer  Meghan King who will bring along some of their 'Handling Finds' when she visits.
More nearer the time

Lovely day today, I've just pegged the washing out, opened the shed door where my over wintered Hedgehogs are as it's too warm inside.
I've heard we have a cold snap over the weekend but fingers 🤞 we can move fully into spring!

I always buy original printer ink, the issue with my latest Scanner/printer is - it's crap. Not a patch on my last one.
It's not the one I wanted when I visited Curry's as it was out of stock as were some others. I really needed one though so bought this H.P Deskjet 2721 - avoid!

I don't really think it makes much difference who is in power....but the one not in power always seems to know how to fix things. Whoever is standing for election makes all sorts of promises, but I think when they do, their fingers are firmly crossed...

Politics / There's talk of a general election!

With rumblings about calls for a general election sooner than later you have to ask yourselves the one and only vital question:-
"Will I be better off with the other lot in power, I mean REALLY better off?" to claim you won't be any worse off may be true but that's not the answer, the Parliamentary revolving doors has gone on long enough it's just one big game to M.P.'s.

Lets face it for decades now the two main parties have been in and out of power numerous times and at the end of the day the voter has never seen any significant change [for the better} in their lives. Everyone knows that what's given with one hand is usually taken with the other, yes I think we can agree, those of us of a certain age, we are a lot better off than our parents and grandparents were but just look around, food banks, homelessness, poverty, N.H.S. crisis, rubbish roads, filthy rivers the list goes on and for one of the richest nations on earth in the 21st century these Dickensian problems are not exactly a ringing endorsement to elect any of them back into power.

As I've explained before I no longer vote, why? because I'm waiting for someone or some party worth voting for, that will break this cycle, which means a hell of a long wait as far as I'm concerned, the last time I saw the inside of a polling station voting on a general election I voted for Labour led by Harold Wilson, that's how long I've been waiting. If Labour get in next time yes you will see some improvement no doubt but just like the last lot and those before they will just end up painting over the cracks and at the end of their 5 year stint they will be in the same position the Tories are in now convincing us their doing a good job and to re elect them and the cycle will continue.

Sent off a letter to D.T. for the letters page about a month ago, I'd given up on it till I saw it had been printed in this last issue.

Won't make an 'aporth of difference but I got it off my chest.

Problem solved.

Went to Argos and bought the same model, plugged it in using the same {new} cartridges out of the old printer...still the same.
Ergo the only common denominator between the two must be the cartridges, the new cartridges supplied with the new printer I put into my old printer "EUREKA" 

Been buying these cartridges years and never had any trouble so didn't dawn on me it could be them, from now on genuine cartridges for my TWO printers.

P.S.  Emailed cartridge company explaining above.

It's inkjet smithy and I've only just replaced the cartridges, and Fly I just write out my letters on this Acer Chromebook laptop and use this to print them, never had the problem till recently and it's got worse.

I did look up the prices of new and even though they are listed as wireless in their Q&A's section it was mentioned you can still use a lead if preferred.

Before this Canon I had a basic H.P. printer, I've had this printer about 3 years now and the H.P. I'd had for the best part of 15 years and I got rid of it only last year as it was very slow at printing.
