Hi Clive,
How do I upload a pic on here?????
Jeff.
Meisiekind posted Thu, 01 January 2015 at 1:44 PM
Hi Jeff
You click on the little picture icon at the top of the message box. You will then be able to browse and find your pic. Just make sure it is the correct size as explained above or else it wouldn't upload.

Frozen! ;)
Even here in Sicily has been very cold, it snowed and the other day there has been a storm of hail that lasted several minutes, it did much damage to agriculture, to the roofs of the houses and to the windshield of the cars. Fortunately, I had no damage whatsoever!
This is the hail that has accumulated in the courtyard of the apartment building where I live. Sorry for the photo quality, but I have taken with the phone from the balcony of my house. :)
A warm greeting to all! :)
