Unfortunately I don't have a Mac pC -my aunt does as she's an artist and I know it can be better for anything art/graphic orientated.

The result of your photo with the cyclists at sunset shows it's a great tool...

Glad you didn't get washed away on your walk
At the moment its wet floors all around, It started to rain as we set off, and was still raining when we got home.

That old joke about you can tell summer in this country, the rain gets warmer, is very true this year.

The reason for that is that this thread is inhabited with nice people, and my karma allocation runs out just like yours, I am behind with my awarding, I never get to todays, I am always days behind.
