The berries are forming

A very changeable day with rain, increasing wind and sunny periods. A day with spent on housework and trying to resolve the connectivity issues for the new computer monitor. The man from Dell support very helpful except he did not know what the problem is, so referred me to Apple. It would appear that whilst a mini-display connector and a Thunderbolt 2 connector fit the same socket but are not the same. The lead I have is a mini-display connector and I need a Thunderbolt. I am tempted to recommend the same solution in other cases. However, a new lead has been ordered so fingers crossed.
In the hedgerows the flowers are turning to fruit - the elderberries are taking shape and so are the conkers forming (spikes and all.)
