And, sad as it is to say, I have been “observed”.<\/p>\n
My usual spec on the wall at lunch was once more occupied by grockles so I had to sit elsewhere next to a mother and young daughter grockle group a little farther down. And some woman walking her dog came over to me “what’s up? Have the tourists pinched your usual place?”<\/p>\n
Yes, I’ve been well and truly fingered, haven’t I?<\/p>\n
And I wasn’t alone either – and I don’t mean grockles and women with dogs. <\/p>\n
Sitting there minding my own business when along came a young tabby-and-white tomcat. He went around the various groups of people scrounging food, and came over to me to see what I had. Of course I had nothing for him, but he let me pick him up and give him a stroke.<\/p>\n
Very relaxing, stroking a cat. It’s good for the stress.<\/p>\n
So as well as crashing out for half an hour this afternoon, I’ve been on the blog again. A few more pages unravelled, but one that didn’t even merit a placeholder back in December 2011 has now evolved to almost 1700 words<\/a>.<\/p>\n There have been a few like that too, haven’t there? I wonder what was so important back in 2011 and 2012 when I never found the time to go back and write up pages like this.<\/p>\n And I’ve had another little play with a computer program.<\/p>\n Regular readers of this rubbish will recall that I am a big user of Paint Shop Pro. The first serious computer program that I ever bought in 1996 and it’s served me faithfully for all kinds of image editing ever since – until I … errr … mislaid the disc. <\/p>\n I’ve turned my attic at Les Guis upside down on numerous occasions trying to find it, but to no avail whatever.<\/p>\n Anyway, to cut a long story short … "thank goodness" – ed<\/em> … on eBay the other week was a copy of PSP 8.1 – a major upgrade with many more useful features than my old PSP 7 that has done me almost 20 years service.<\/p>\n The price was far less that what I paid back in 1996 too and so I mentioned it to Terry and he duly obliged.<\/p>\n So that’s me now with about 4 years of work to catch up. I hope that I can remember how to use it!<\/p>\n I’ll make a start when I come back from my walk. It’s actually stopped raining for once. <\/p>\n
