Maximum temperature today 21C, minimum 9C. Dry; 16km/h North-easterly winds with up to 36 km/h gusts. It gets much colder tomorrow!!!!
I have the computer back with a new hard drive, but I am still trying to load programmes and get myself back to (sort of) where I was before the last hard drive crashed out totally leaving me with nothing. I have lost all the early October photos which I had not backed up! Also, all the photos of our holiday last month that I had edited are gone, but I have the originals so I will have to start all over again (sigh). I will get back to comments I hope in a few days!

Computers, computers, computers! Can you imagine that there was a time when we lived perfectly well without them?
ReplyDeleteYes I can imagine, and I think life was far easier then when we did not know about them 😊 Take care Diane
DeleteSo glad to hear your got a new hard drive. Sorry that you will have a lot more work to do but you are doing much better than I if you generally back up your files. I know I should but never do. I started out backing things up on disks but they would usually get corrupted so I just gave up and I don't like to put stuff in the cloud. Anyway, you have a lot of beautiful animal, bird and insect photos today. Just spectacular. I do hope Nigel is recovering too from his flu/cold and that he is feeling much better being at home and hopefully getting some much needed rest. Have a wonderful Sunday Diane.
ReplyDeleteI used to use discs long ago for back up but now I use a spare hard drive. So much easier and I hope that does not crash as well!!!
DeleteNigel is still not feeling well though slightly better, I think these things take longer the older we get!!
Have a good week Diane
Hello dear Diane,
ReplyDeleteYep,I have been through a hard drive crash on the tiles with all my edited photos in and I feel sorry for you!!!
I still am not back with my older photos but what the hell?!!!!
Great series of pics, these donkeys have such great ears!
Warm hugs and enjoy your evening :)
Thanks Noushka, I feel sorry for myself, but I am also happy that it was only one month that I had not backed up the edited versions except for October which I lost completly, thankfully no major photos. There was a mule there with even longer ears but it was a bit dark so I abandoned it.
DeleteHave a good week, warm hugs Diane
I'm glad you're back. I love the pictures you share.
ReplyDeleteThanks Emma for the kind comment. I hope you have a good week. Diane
DeleteLove this post, Diane, from the horses to the bees and plants! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie, lovely comment. Hope all is well, take care Diane
DeleteGlad to you back, Diane. Beautiful photo's as always.
ReplyDeleteEspecially loved the horses. :)
xoxo
Thank you Sally. I do miss my horses, they used to be my life but too expensive these days!! Have a good week Diane
DeleteGreat photos, Diane! I esp like the cows, but I've never seen them at a farmers' market around here. I grew up on our farm in Ohio and them and the tractors and all brought back a lot of memories. The cosmos are gorgeous, my fave flower in the garden and the holly is beautiful. Here's to a good week your way!
ReplyDeletePam many of my years was spent on a farm and I ma thankful we still live in farming country. The cosmos are superb this year. They were very tall and the strong winds blew the over but they are still flowering profusely. Hope your week is a good one Diane
DeleteI experienced a computer hard disk crash once and if not for the computer technician, I would have lost all the photos. He managed to retrieve them though it took him a long time. Good to have you back again. I am enjoying all your photos.
ReplyDeleteSadly there was nothing retievable on my disc it was a complete crash out!!! Hope you are well, take care Diane
DeleteBeautiful series here Diane, farmers markets are fun. So sorry to hear about your computer problems, sometimes I wonder if computers are worth the aggravation they cause us. Sorry to hear your husband is not feeling well, what did the doc say, hopefully he'll be feeling tip top soon ✨
ReplyDeleteGrace I love my computer, but when I did not have one, and did not know about them, I was happy then as well!!! Dr said bronchitis and stay in bed! He is up and about now, not feeling 100% and still coughing!! Keep well Diane
DeleteThose farm animals sure look healthy.
ReplyDeleteI agree they all looked fat and healthy, Hope all is well, cheers Diane
DeleteDealing with computer problems is the worst. Hope you are back up and running soon.
ReplyDeleteThose donkeys are so adorable!
