I have changed password, checked my profile info, changed other security stuff, etc. And as far as I can see, no more strange mails have been going out since I did so. Should it recur, I guess I'll have to erase this account and get another one. Or use my gmail (I have two I think, one is through the university, and one is a private one I got years ago, but I never use them). But we'll see about that. It looks like someone had hacked my account, because I noticed there had been changes made to my profile information as well (I had another name all of a sudden...). I really, really hate it when things like that happens (not that it has happened to me a lot, but still)! It feels a bit like identity theft. But, well, let's hope it's been taken care of for good now. We had a long walk (really long, I think we must have walked something like 6 or 7 miles) and a picnic today. We followed the railway out of town (there is a small road, really more like a footpath, alongside it that we see people walk on some times when we pass in the train, and we have been wanting to try it ourselves). Where the path turned away from the railway (or, a bit after that, actually) it ended in a small, not to say tiny, village. Too small to even be on the map, "Ellinge" was the name, apparently. Approaching it we commented on how the landscape was so very much like the south of France. The village itself, when we had entered it, was a lot more English (I said, as we walked through it: "I keep expecting Inspector Barnaby [from the Midsomer Murders] come walking here." answered: "Either that, or his wife. She'll be out buying some flowers, and she'll, of course, stumble across a murder on her way").And, speaking of English, the village was a medieval one, centered around a local castle (like the medieval ones tended to be). The castle was still privately owned, but the owner allowed walking across the park etc, just as long as you didn't enter the building(s) itself. An information placate told us that the owning noble family during the 1600's (another family than the one owning it now) was famous for once (mid-1600's) having declared a private war on England... Didn't say why, or what was the English reaction to a declaration of war from a local count in a local castle in the south of Sweden... But a funny piece of info anyway. After that we found a slightly broader road (one intended for cars too, or where it was at least possible for a car to go) leading in what looked like about the right direction, and we followed it home.I'll attach some photos.love/Reb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
