This is my best shot but smoothing out the blemishes has lost some of the definition.

Hi Smudger. Can't do much with this at the moment as the file size is too small. Could you scan the photo at a higher resolution?

I use an application called Irfanview which will open these pics and save them as jpgs. A very useful and fast app.

A couple of pics from Google Maps. No 7 is the house with 2 cars on the front.

So did I. Had one of these

That's quite close to our previous detective work locating the grave of John Ready back in February (Lawn 4). I wonder if John's wife's death has now been added to the gravestone.

Happy Birthday Lyn. Hope you have a great day. John

I have looked at the registers - in 1980 both Robert and Gudrun were listed at 69 Faulkner Road but neither was there in 1981. We know Robert died in September 1980 but I couldn’t find any information on what happened to Gudrun.

Hi Paul. Not sure if you were after a tidy-up or just info about the shop. Whichever, I've removed some of the blotches and sent the chap's overalls to the laundry.

Can't see much wrong with this one! However I've sharpened it up slightly and lightened the top row a bit.

Kings Norton Church is on high ground and there certainly isn't a stream nearby. Artist with a good imagination I think!

Unfortunately the facial features were badly damaged so this is the best I could do :(

Unfortunately the resolution of your image is too low to work on effectively. Could you scan it at a higher res?

I would be surprised if this hasn’t been mentioned before but I’ve done a search and couldn’t find anything. However if I’ve repeated previous posts I apologise! I’ve just read a book (see below) which included detail of an area of Turves Green originally known as Longbridge Estate, later...

When I attach a photo to a post as a thumbnail I just see the photo whereas everyone else's pic has the file name, size and number of views underneath it. I've tried 'Attach Files' and 'Insert Image' but both give the same result. It probably doesn't matter but I would like to know why!!!

Not easy around eyes! Here's my attempt:

I think it's all relative! My W10 tower is now VERY slow so makes the laptop look like it's turbo-charged! The tower is i3-4170 CPU @ 3.70GHz with 8GB ram but was installed in 2020 and with all the messing about I do trying out different applications (and Microsoft's inability to keep the OS...

This surprises me Izzy as I am well impressed with W11. I have a mid-range Acer Laptop i5 processor at 1GHz, 8GB ram. 1st start 16 secs to log-in screen (local password) + 10 secs to full desktop. Recovery from sleep about 1 sec. You must be loading some pretty heavy stuff!

Hi Carolina. I haven't come across this one before!! Usual cause for an unplanned shutdown is overheating but it wouldn't normally restart by itself. However worth checking there is no dust in the fan outlet. If your battery is removable shut down the laptop, disconnect the power lead (if...

That should keep you busy till Christmas
