Grumble, grumble, grumble. . . . Off we went to the woods yesterday morning although it was cold, and we performed all the usual tasks. I took a few photos while we were wandering about in the woods, but it was too cold to remain gloveless for very long - not much was recorded in the way of scenery or wildlife imagery.
On returning home late in the day, out came the memory card from the camera and I trotted in here to download the photos, but I was feeling nauseous and did an unthinking and incredibly stupid thing - I plugged the memory card into the wrong slot on the computer. As I sit here typing this morning I can see the card, but I am unable to extract it from the drive, and there are several photos on it which I would love to look at and play around with in PhotoShop CS2.
Today's excitement will consist of a good friend visiting after lunch with a lovely big bag of technician's tools - we will unscrew the casing on the computer, remove the drive and extract the memory card, then put everything back together again. Afterward, we will have several cups of tea and good laugh at my expense.
I am a little cross at myself at present. There are days when I should not be allowed anywhere near kitchen appliances or electronic devices of any sort whatsoever. Yesterday was one of those days.

Some days you do A+ work, and some days you do C work. (At least, I do.)
Did you get it out yet? We used to have a Mac SE that wouldn't let go of the disks when you put them in. My husband got good at fishing them out with a paper clip.
The joy that fills me when I look at your blog might balance out the crabbiness. I have been away from blogging for two weeks. I see that I missed some exquisite photos.
I'm sorry to hear of your technical troubles. You are handling it quite well.
Can I ever relate! I live in my fibro fog all the time and must be so vigilant all of the time because chaos is always within my grasp. I am blessed with "mousetrap"-type tendencies of progressive anarchy when I screw something up. I think you're doing really well, this could have happened to anybody and you had a friend come and help you in more than just one way. That is a great blessing.
