… my mobile phone about a month ago, it’s the turn of the dictaphone to go walkabout now.
I picked it up off the floor here and I’m convinced that I put it in my pocket, but when I arrived at Servant, it wasn’t there. No idea where that’s gone.
Yes, that’s where we are this Sunday – down at Servant.
It’s a cup match this weekend, so FC Pionsat St Hilaire have fielded something like a makeshift hybrid team featuring half of the 2nd XI
And while I was scrabbling around in Caliburn looking for my dictaphone, I missed FC Pionsat St Hilaire’s opening goal.
But not to worry, there were plenty of other goals that I didn’t miss.
Their opponents are a Third Division side and Pionsat cantered to a leisurely 4-1 win.
They didn’t at any time look under any kind of pressure, and could have had a bag-full more, missing two or three sitters on the way.
But, uncomfortably, they didn’t look all that convincing either. Last season, they would have demolished a team like this without any trouble at all.
Apart from that, all I seem to have done today is to back up my photographs onto DVD. I keep an external drive with the photos on, and also a portable drive as a fall-back.
I’ve also been copying them to DVD every time I have a fill SD card as an additional safeguard, but I’ve not done that since the second half of 2009 so there are thousands – and I mean thousands – to do.
It’s not helped either by the fact that the DVD writer is a little old and creaky and needs a long rest after each session, and that also some of the DVDs I have here are corrupted. Flood damage by the looks of things.
Anyway, tomorrow I’m off in the morning helping Rosemary with a furniture delivery.
I’ve swapped that for half a day’s work in my garden. It’s the only way that any weeding is going to be done in the near future.
