… ‘s early night, I managed to eat the second alarm out of bed.
I’d been on a real mega-ramble too, but it disappeared out of my head the moment that I awoke.
Despite the early start, it was a late breakfast. I’ve been making some room on a portable hard drive so that I could extract the (hundreds of thousands of) photos that I had found the other day. I made a start on copying them but the old hard drive is pretty flaky and kept on cutting out so I ended up having to do it manually in batches.
And so it was a 10:00 breakfast.
After that, I started to review the images and found some real gems from years ago, but of course not the ones for which I’m searching. There must be another hard drive somewhere, although I’ve no idea where.
The late breakfast meant that I wasn’t feeling like any lunch. A bag of crisps kept me going. No point in stuffing myself unnecessarily. But you can tell that I’m not too well when I’m off my food.
Nevertheless I still went for my walk around the headland. And I’m glad that I did too because we had another visitor in the harbour.
Ship of the Day today is the Islay Trader, sister ship to the Shetland Trader that was in here the other week. She’s come in here from Rye in Sussex, but I didn’t notice any piles of gravel about.
She’s something of an unlucky ship too, having a history or running aground here and there.
After a little snooze this evening I made myself a pizza, which wasn’t as nice as the previous ones because I’m trying a different tomato sauce which isn’t as good, I reckon.
And then I went for my walk.
You may remember that the other day I talked about the street lights and illuminations. Tonight, I remembered the camera so that I could photograph them.
But I still can’t upload them right now, although I do know why. While my laptopn was doing an upgrade, I switched on the old one – and that immediately performed an upgrade of my web browser. And the *.ftp program disappeared from there too. So I tracked down the program, and tried to upload it. But it informed me that “this is not compatible with this version of …” … my web browser.
So I’ll have to track down another one.
And Islay Trader had cleared off too. She’s heading for Whitstable, which is a surprise.
So now I’m going to try for another early night. I need it.
