Thanks to all my friends

I've had a lot of support from friends recently,  my neighbour who recovered all my photos and other vital stuff from a corrupted external hard drive, thanks indeed Ross! I must learn to back up properly, but I know I'm not alone because I tried to get a photo I thought lost for ever, from Redbubble where I'd uploaded it, and found a whole thread of folks in the same boat bemoaning the loss of cherished work.  Found the photo in an obscure file in the end luckily as Redbubble don't allow you to re-load a photo from their site! Thanks to my work colleagues for their sympathy for a recent tragedy in my life, more because they've allowed me to just be normal and not dwell on it too much.

 

photo taken off the end of Ilfracombe sea wall  thought it looked like the end of the world with the mist shutting off the usual view of the horizon. Taken last March.

Life is rubbish sometimes

Life is not great at the moment horrible things happening to people I love. It will take a long time for them to get over it and I live a really long way away from them. There are times when you want the world to stop and go away.

regular stuff

life is getting tricky, as usual, not enough money no transport, family dramas and all that. I recently got offered a really amazing opportunity which needed money to take it up. Not a lot of money but more than I have. Life gives with one hand and snatches away with the other. I'm doing what I can to raise the money we'll see. Aah well, I'm not wading through 45 inches of snow, nor struggling to recover from an earthquake or living through a war or a famine. So we'll just keep going and see what's round the next bend!

Here's one of my reasons to be cheerful my lovely grandson.
