It's bad enough trying to organise the woolly stashes ...

... But organising digital photos across platforms takes patience and determination to a whole different level.

Still searching for how to get the old disappeared photos to upload, or how to restore them from my digital stash.

But synchronicity is at work. I had hi-speed broadband installed on Thursday. And The supposedly seamless transfer wasn't. Cue very assertive conversations with customer service. No I will not take a screw driver to the box on the wall .. the phone line was working fine until the switch. If it's a fault on the phone line it's due to the switch over. No I will not wait till Monday for a line engineer as a this has been caused by the switch over so standard terms and conditions don't apply. Etc etc. I wondered why I had bothered .. it wasn't broken before, so why hadn't I left well alone. The engineer arrived Friday morning first thing, yes it was a fault with exchange wiring. All fixed, but I still wondered why I had bothered.

The answer came today. 7432 photos uploaded to google photos in under an hour. Last I've I tried to back them up to the cloud I took about 3 days.

However, that still doesn't solve the problem. There are some pesky little settings somewhere to reset I'm sure. Or is it because I am trying to do it from the iPad?

The only screwdriver I will contemplate will come in a glass, well chilled.

What goes around comes around

Funny that my last post was about the zombie blog. Oops.

Yes, time to put this blog into therapy, and give it some nourishing attention and care.

Why now? Partly because of my new found outlet for creativity via weaving and knitting. And I have been idly wondering how to keep better notes of my creations. And mainly because I went to a talk yesterday on tatting (no, not an obsession I will ever be tempted to take up) where the speaker re-inspired me to get this journal out of the 'in need of resuscitation corridor'. Why start from scratch when the foundations are already here?

Managing to find the blog was the first step. But the disappeared photos? What's happening there? Oh dear. I've been sorting out my woolly hoardings, works in progress etc over the last few weeks. Is this a call to action for digital decluttering?

Let's displace by making another cup of coffee and doing a few more inches of my woven scarf project.
