And I just received the news that my neighbour passed away in hospital overnight :(

Struggling to process this at the moment. So sad. She was widowed in March.
I am sorry about your neighbour, Linda.:(
But probably not a big surprise, she'd stopped fighting it seems.

Got our Volvo back ... and the satnav is fixed! :)

It turns out that what the dealer didn't know was that you must use a 32GB USB flash drive for the update.

Mine, and the one the dealer had, was 64GB. This didn't work and corrupted the satnav in the process.

It was only after they'd made several calls to their head office in Sweden that this little nugget of information appeared.

The bonuses: we weren't charged for sorting it out :) and we now have a free map of Israel installed should we ever decide to take the car there! (They tested it with that as it's a smaller download)

Most splendid! :)
So you don't actually have to move to Israel now.
They should have given you a nice map of Sweden, too.
Tis a lovely place. (in summer).

We have Sweden included in the European Map it should have :)

I have been to Stockholm and loved it.

I want to spend more time in Scandinavia - to see fjords and stuff - but JoesDad isn't too fond of the cold and is taking some persuading. I've been on about it for years and then a couple of months ago he told me I hadn't mentioned it before :rolleyes:

No, i'm the same, hate the cold, but the summers can be lovely. I love all the Scandinavian countries, but couldn't live there in winter. Also they're often quite expensive.

Speaking of camels, this is Abu, who kicked off the autumn program at the library here (and trampled on it too). And ate all the flowers and a fruit tree in the garden. (Maybe they shouldn't have brought a camel to a library after all).
The little thing between the humps is my daughter. :)

Sorry to hear this. That is really sad.
Seems that she wants to be together again with her hubby .... I think there is a rainbow bridge for people too.
