I had thought the days of coughs and stuffed up nose were past now that we are sailing into warmer days, but I was wrong.
Woke this morning to a thick head (nothing unusual there) and blocked nose. Just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water, so to speak. Scamp told me to dose myself with paracetamol and Vitamin C and go back to bed. That felt like sound advice, so I took it. An hour or so later I felt better.
Scamp was off meeting Shona for coffee on a Sunday! A bit strange, but they both seemed to enjoy it. When Scamp returned I was already on my feet and had put a load of washing in the machine. She wanted to pot up some new flowers and was concentrating on that. I was off to enjoy the sun with a walk in St Mo’s. I took the long lens on the A7iii and managed to capture a few shots of a robin on a branch in the sunshine. Not very inspiring, I know, but it was a photo in the bag and it ended up being the PoD after some messing around in Lightroom.
Didn’t see much else worth photographing, so I made my way home. By that time, Scamp had finished her re-potting and was reading. We discussed dinner and came back to the suggestion she’d made yesterday which was an old favourite; Mushrooms and Chicken.
Speaking of Lightroom, it’s beginning to slow down a lot. I think there may be Gigabytes of photos, probably two month’s of them clogging up the system. I’m intending backing them up to storage on the external drive and clearing out the ‘deadwood’ soon. Soon, in this case meaning on the 1st of April which is just around the corner. January’s and February’s photos are backed up, as far as I can remember, but March needs to go soon. Also there are a lot of last year’s files that can safely be cleared out. Effectively, those older files can be removed any time and that might create more usable space.
Spoke to Jamie later in the afternoon and heard about his visit to HQ in London with days and evenings working. Glad I’m past all that stuff now. Also heard that Simonne is off on her travels soon too.
I’m hoping my stuffed up nose has now gone for a while, likewise my cough. Hoping for another sunny day tomorrow.
