Very odd things happening with google here - it kept signing me out of the blog over the weekend. I managed to sign back in twice after a lot of faff with passwords etc and having to get number codes sent to my phone. It didn't last long as I was signed out again on Sunday! I tried to find out why but the answers were a bit vague. Eventually I got back in again long enough to write this and I think my comments on other blogs may have popped up as anonymous, so apologies for that.
It was not just google who didn't know who I was but also outlook (hotmail), BBC iplayer, Facebook Groups and Wordle although I would have lost my streak anyway - the word was BYLAW. I only got the A!
**************************
The Horse Chestnut I'm following through the year has changed so much in the month since mid April .
It's looking lovely with the white flower 'candles' and the leaves fully open but fresh still Spring green.
Horse chestnut bark (Aesculus hippocastanum) is a traditional herbal ingredient, rich in aescin and tannins, used to support circulatory health, specifically targeting vein health, reducing leg heaviness, and treating vascular issues. Primarily prepared as a decoction or tea, the bark is used for its astringent properties and can be used in topical preparations.
I'll not be trying it!
I'm scheduling this post for Monday morning and will see what happens, will I be signed in or not - that is the question.
Back soon..................... I hope
What a glorious tree Sue. June
ReplyDeleteLooking so good at the moment
DeleteMy reading list is still very hit and miss, but you are appearing regularly again (other regular friends now always showing up) I got BYLAW on 6, but my long streak ended a few weeks back with GUNKY which is a horrid word imho.
ReplyDeleteThe chestnut tree is fabulous.
It's annoying when things happen on the lap top and I don't know how to correct them!
DeleteI failed Wordle as well yesterday. I am missing loads of post from my feed, they do show hours after they have been posted, and my views are down so I expect they may be a delay in my post as well.
ReplyDeleteI missed a day a couple of weeks ago which broke a good streak on wordle - frustrating

ReplyDeleteI have to paste my pass key in at least 20 times a day. I think security on the net is being more strictly tightened.. It is a beautiful tree your horse chestnut putting on a show with its flowers.
Oh goodness - that's sounds like more of a problem than I had at the weekend.
DeleteThe tree is looking beautiful. All our Horse Chestnuts along the A6 are looking good too, it seems to be a good year for them, so you made a good tree choice to photograph. :-)
ReplyDeleteI managed to get BYLAW in three, but I've been having some very flukey results just recently. Although sadly, I am down to a run of just six days after choosing the 'wrong' option out of a choice of two words one day last week.
Being logged and forgetting a couple of weeks back and my wordle streaks aren't doing well
DeleteLovely tree…are you still there Sue?1
ReplyDeleteHere today .....waving!!
DeleteBeautiful photos. Such a pain when tech issues strike.
ReplyDeleteAlison in Devon x
I always feel so dim when things play up and I haven't a clue how to fix them
DeleteNo problems here with sign ins. I got wordle in 6! I missed one last week but can't remember what the word was.
ReplyDeleteHorse chestnut is a beauty of a tree.
I think May is the best month for beautiful trees.
DeleteI love horse chestnuts, and your photographs are lovely. Many people are having difficulties at present - let's hope it passes quickly.
ReplyDeleteI aways feel so hopeless when tech things go wrong - I'm too old!
DeleteWell, your post appeared so I guess everything is working again.
ReplyDeleteLovely tree!
Thankfully when I switched on the lap top I was still signed in - phew!
DeleteThe Horse Chestnut tree is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI've wanted one for a few years and they seem not available at the garden centers I visit.
I saw 3 mature Horse Chestnut trees growing in a park in Rhode Island and thought they were outstanding looking trees. These trees had pink flowers and were blooming well. I'd be happy with white or pink blooms.
We had a pink flowered tree at the smallholding - it was beautiful too
DeleteIt's a beautiful tree. I must suggest my friend with vein problems trys the bark tea! I hope that Blogger has stopped mucking around now.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...that's odd about the signing out. Something about your cookies, maybe? I've stayed signed in so I don't think it's a widespread Blogger thing.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent looking tree!
ReplyDeleteI have that problem with my blog too. Even when I sign in it doesn't show me as signed in. I usually faff around with one of the settings or layouts and then it will show me as signed in. I'm not sure what the problem is so that doesn't help you at all! It's really frustrating
The Horse Chestnut is gorgeous. I am having trouble with a few things as well, but I hope to correct them very soon. Mostly streaming stations on the television that worked perfectly well on my laptop while at our son's. Kris figures I need to restart our wifi. We will see at some point tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
