And it’s just as well that things are advancing because delivery 2 came today. A 4TB hard drive. The old 250GB one that has run for ever is now overflowing, the 750GB one I’m going to use just for backing up data and so the 2TB one is going to have its work cut out. <\/p>\n
And to give you some kind of idea as to how things are shaping, I paid more for the 250GB one that I paid for the new 4TB one, and I do remember that thanks to its mammoth size I won’t ever need anything bigger than 250GB. But then, that was back in the days when a high-quality digital image was 25KB, never mind 25MB.<\/p>\n
And “howling gale” were definitely the correct words to use as, once gain, it was blowing a good ‘un. It is starting to depress me just a little this weather. It’s been a miserable, wet clingy winter that seems to have gone on for ever <\/p>\n Ready for a change, aren’t I? They have suddenly put quite a spurt on with this house that they are building, and have now started to put on the roof.<\/p>\n Not much of a pitch on that though. It’s a good job that they don’t have snow like in the Auvergne. We’ve seen roofs collapse under the weight of the snow that we can have down there. No idea what she brought in today, and when I took this photo she was fully-loaded and ready to depart.<\/p>\n And depart she did because when I was out and about this evening, she had left her berth and gone back to Jersey. She and Grima<\/em> do seem to be keeping quite busy just now. Back here, I had a coffee and really good chinwag with Rosemary on the ‘phone about this and that. She’s feeling a little miserable after her operation and needed cheering up.<\/p>\n And then tea. Tidying up the other day I had found a leftover pepper and so it was a case of “stuff that for a lark” – and I duly did. Delicious too, as were the strawberries and vegan cream for pudding.<\/p>\n 20:46 in the evening, that was too. The nights are definitely getting shorter now. It was only a couple of months since it was pitch-black at 17:00. <\/p>\n This year is going just so quickly that I can’t keep up with it? Whatever happened to that six-weeks summer holiday that we had that used to last for ever? By the time that I had gone round to the fortifications on the north-east edge looking over the Place Marechal Foch and the Casino it was pretty dark.<\/p>\n I had the 50mm lens with me too, but that has an issue with it, so it seems. The aperture ring isn’t locking, according to the camera, although I can tell that it is. I was going to take some photos with that tonight, but instead, tomorrow I’ll be looking at that to see what’s wrong. And my mate the black cat was there again tonight. But he wasn’t in very much of a sociable mood, and neither really was I.<\/p>\n And just in case you were wondering, I’ve reached “Marillion”<\/a> on the playlist. Can’t you tell?<\/p>\n![\"storm](\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1803\/1803103.jpg\")
<\/a>After lunch and the session on the guitar I went out to brave the howling gale, seeing as the rain had stopped.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a>The high winds and bad weather weren’t clearly upsetting too many other people though.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a>It didn’t stop Normandy Trader<\/em> from making her way into harbour either.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a>When I went out for my walk is was still comparatively light, so I took a nice photo of some of the houses in the the Medieval town through the gateway at the back here.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a>JUst 15 minutes later though it was a totally different story.<\/p>\n
