Hi All

Thanks, colin, for making this available. On this occasion I have had problems downloading it.

Dropbox is asking me to log in, which has not happened before. I have tried doing this via Google, which is one of the options. Google sends a notification to my phone, but it is not a text. It is probably what is called a push notification. I could hear my phone ping, but there was nothing to see and no incoming text message. I use Synaptic software on my phone and I discovered that when I quitted Synaptic the notification was there, saying something like, "Is it really you?" Yesterday, I was too late finding this, and it had expired, but I'll try again later today and it should be fine, but this is all a new and rather irritating experience.

Mike,

I've no idea why DropBox plays it awkward, so far, not had any other reports
of problems.

Hope you are able to access the file and/or folder.

This time it worked, although I was invited to sign in or register. I was able to continue as Michael without doing either.

Best wishes

Mike

dEar Colin
Its Jane Selelrs here I don't have drop box on my computer using NVDA so can you help please? asI will need to know how to obtain Interlink ? I also have my sister who is interested in joining AVIP her name is Anne Colins she also has RP we have it in our family Anne ahs an autistic son, Joseph who will be 33 in September ironically on September 8th which was peter Sellers the actor's birthday . My dad Peter Sellers met the actor Peter Sellers at Leicestersquare April 1962 . My mum who is now in a care home locally , has the photo of them together in her room.
Today has been enjoyable until this afternoon as we had a meeting at mum's care home called Smallbrook care home it is in Horley so I go to see her once a week we had a meeting and we really did let it rip as the company that has just taken over the care home from another company are dragging their heals because we need a document so we can sell mum's houseat three Bridges to pay for her care ... I was in London this morning at the British Libraryat the end of each month they have an art workshop for the visually impaired and it is fantastic , Anne andI go to St Pancreas International together and we are met by Emma who works at the library today we did gold leave we had to draw with a biro a shape then it was cut out so it was a template we had support from the library support team to cut the template out then once it was cut out we had a piece of folded card and we were then able to put some glue on our paint brush to then stick gold leaf on to it . Gold leaf is really fine it is finer than tissue paper.
Anyway going back to Interlink is itavailable by email?Is it available by memory stick?
Best wishes to all.
Jane PS so glad to be back with my friends at AVIP .

Jane,

I sent you a post just now asking for your address, in order I may set up a
wallet for you.

I suggest please do ***NOT*** send it via this group, please send it
***PRIVATELY*** in Braille, to me at:

colinho...@gmail.com

I am happy to send a memory stick, but please, be sure to return the stick
in time for the next magazine.

I can send you some back-issues of Interlink, please let me know what you
would like to receive, hope you reply soon, then I can get the stick off to
you, hopefully, over the coming weekend.

Each edition of the magazines on the stick will be in it's own folder,
bearing the name of the magazine, such as:

Interlink 162 - march 2026

Interlink 161 - january 2026

The April one is a special and will be entitled:

Interlink 163 - april 2026, A G M special

Etc.

Hello Jane

It was good to hear from you on the list and to catch up with some of your news. I hope you are keeping well.

Jacqueline and I are now living in Orpington in order to be closer to our elder daughter, son-inlaw and 3-year-old granddaughter, so that we (Jacqueline in particular) can help with childcare when needed. We've settled well in the area, joining a new church and u3a. We've had a lot done on and in the bungalow, but there's still quite a bit to do, like getting more fitted cupboards, of which there were none when we moved in.

All the best

Mike Barbour

Hello Jane.

I receive Interlink on a CD, so I'm sure Colin will be able to
sort this out for you.

Best wishes,
