thank you everyone

 Can't believe how easy this was.

I tried googling unable to access youtube but many of the replies were outdated and/or had suggestions I didn't understand apart from clearing my cache, which I had no idea how to do.

So I googled unable to access youtube in microsoft edge and got a link that walked me through it. When opening my internet in the ytaskbar at the top over on the right is a three dot menu option and from the dropdown there I chose settings and from the window that opened on the left I chose "privacy search and services" and from there chose to delete my browsing and download history. 

I hope I haven't accidentally lost any of my favourite blog sites, but I'll get those back easily enough.

After weeks of assuming something was wrong at youtube, I now have youtube back and working, simply by clearing my browser and download histories. 

Thank you for all your suggestions. I wish I'd asked weeks ago.

    I'm glad you found a way to get YouTube back! I'll have to remember your solution if I start having issues.

    Hooray! Most of the time, the answers are out there, it just takes a bit of digging.

      Also, i answered on my blog but in case you don't have a chance to go back and see it, 24601 is Jean Valjean's prisoner number in Les Miserable. His original offence that sent him to prison was stealing a loaf of French bread.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
