Even not very well laid plans sometimes go astray.

I had some for this evening. Along the lines of defrosting the freezer (a bit desperate that, the ice is bulging), downloading a few hundred photos from the DVD (Peter brought his portable DVD reader to dinner) and later having a quick flip through them before settling down to a peaceful hour catching up on blogs.
Well it seems that somehow, Adam's Apple (mini mac) had written everything to the DVD twice, once as small jpegs and once again as large ones. Also it seems to have turned all the little movies into little jpegs. I just hope he's still got all the butterfly movies on his mini mac....if at all!
So I had to go through upward of a thousand photos, sorting out the little ones from the big ones and trying to see if they were all duplicates. My brain has RSI. Thank heavens for Picasa's cataloguing system.

I'm afraid this means you don't get to see strange things on motorways or blurred trees and canals. Or butterflies and owls. Or even funny men with black faces and skirts.
For all of which you were waiting with bated breath I'm sure.
Ah well. there's Adam and Jude in the bird sanctuary.




and I'm going to go and see if the freezer has actually started dribbling yet.
