If you see this message in GMAIL (on Android) and cannot access your primary email.
It is related to Google play services.. which was wanting me to complete setup... but this did not fix the issue!
I went to settings... apps... Google play services... click on three dots on top right and uninstall the update (Which was suggested as a way to fix it).
This did remove the message temporarily... but it came back soon after. And the emails were still offline although the message was gone. So...

Google are investigating and hopefully will fix the Google play services issue soon.

After removing the paper feed warning stopped and the printer worked fine.
Very lucky this time.

So much rain last Night and this morning... this was heading back from Ballinluig because I could not get to Aberfeldy in my tiddly car. Even the 4x4 were having difficulties in places.
I had to rearrange my visit to help with their computer.
Even the road through the glen was blocked at the south end.

Sharing my daughter's blog post it gave me giggles and it was lovely seeing them all climbing trees. She and the kids had a great time at Blairdrummond Caravan Park and Blair Drummond Safari Park.

We were heading down f...
