A trial of strikethrough (amongst other things)

Up early for the veg box man; also wanted my milk delivery. Our usual delivery man is on holiday and this one is not so efficient. The veg box man missed me as I had to go to my physiotherapy class. This was a real pity as I had not had time to pay him last time, so it is three lots next time.

After the class I went as usual for my tea and scone - they were giving 2 scones for the price of one, so I smuggled one out!

After that I had to go for 2 photographs for my new disabled motorist card, so went to big supermarket. As usual they are not like me at all - who is that ugly old hag then?

Got home to discover the house manager had put my milk in the fridge and the veggies in the kitchen. Now all packed away.

I always call my disabled badge my "get out of jail free card" and I tried to put in a bit about that with a strikethrough, but it did not work the bit between the left sharp bracket and the right sharp bracket was deleted.

The veg today were the usual potatoes, carrots and onions plus a kohl rabi, a beautiful lettuce, some beetroot and broad beans

The weather was cold and chucking it down, so it was rather an unpleasant drive to the physiotherapy class, but it seems to be brightening up now.

What is it with those photo booths.. how does the software manage to get the picture so wrong? when I get my photo taken, it looks nothing like me, but more like my parents and nothing like when I look in a mirror..

ps what do you do with kohlrabi.. always a vegetable which has confused me.

Elaine - I forgot to tell you!

There are two tabs above the area where you write your blog entry, labeled Edit and Compose. You have to switch over to the Edit tab in order to put your "strike" and "/strike" between the pointy brackets.

For some reason it does not work when you do it from the Compose screen.

Give it a shot!
