A utility in Windows caused it to lock, and there was no way round it.
So, the only option was to accept the data unsaved was lost, which amounted to one and a half month's pictures, and some documents, the last two orchid presentations I had done.
And then get the guy down Dover in the IT shop to reformat the leptop and start again. In the meantime, we bought a bog standard machine, and I have been working on that the last week or so.
And that was fine, except photo editing, in that the less high spec machine could not get PicMonkey to work, so I had to revert to the one embedded in MS photos. Not perfect, but allowed me to have something to post on Flickr and for these posts.
Saturday, I got the old laptop back, and on Monday transferred all my sites used to there, and PicMonkey worked again, thus explaining the glut of uploads to Flickr.
So, everything is just about back to nrmal, and the laptop is like a new machine.
A warm and sunny day!
With a gentle breeze.
But with work.
Yes, Monday again and welcome back to the working week and all that.
What with one thing and another, I wasn't going to go far, but there was more than enough stuff in the garden to snap.
The ox-eyed daisies are at their peak, a swaying in the breeze, with small flowers, orchids, buttercups, corncockles, and so on, all in flower and looking their best. The cats love making their nests in the long grass, Scully tries to sneak up on the feeders but fails.
And there is football. A three game day, with the first at two, second at five and the final one at eight.Barely enough time to eat and make brews between.
Just as well that Jools had aquacise again, so after a brew and a crumpet, she was off to the pool, and I went back to the second game.
Crisps and whiskey whilst watching France beat Austria, and somehow a whole day was gone again.
