I just tried to open your latest screenshot Viv but it won't load for me either.

None on my phone either :)

I think I've seen that painting - I should have been more aware as to the artist!

No, I keep mine signed in too.

I haven't had any problems with using my phone - hopefully that will continue!

That's very interesting, I've not heard of them before either, lovely piece of work in the church. I like the photo of the students, some arty looking types of the era - the guy in the centre with the moustache!

Happy Birthday! Enjoy your day.

Happy Birthday! Enjoy your day :)
