Well my laptop has finally spat the dummy (gone black – I shall call the computer man today!) without any warning, of course. Well this happens to everyone. I am surprised they have not named a syndrome for it. ‘Post computer failure stress syndrome’ or something. So I have had to move over to the tall teenagers computer while I think about what to do. Of course this means I have no photo shop, and alarmingly slow Windows 8 thingy, no files and I still cannot work out how to reduce an image to an acceptable size for you.
Just one image then. This is the most delightful shot of yesterday.
Ah well. This will just make me more discerning. I am struggling here to put a positive spin on losing my computer and everything in it. In fact I am more annoyed about losing the computer than everything in it. But it will work out one way or the other. Today is a new day and I get to see it!
I dreamed last night that I was surrounded in little farms, there were fields of cabbages, sunflowers and walnut trees next to mine and we shared rams and vegetable seeds and butter,we miked each others cows and noticed if a gate was left open. Everyone wore dirty gumboots and called out and waved from their slow red tractors as they chugged past. It was a lovely dream.
We had a startling sunny day yesterday. Just wonderful.
If I am not in tomorrow you know why.
Have a lovely day.

What a beautiful dream. Big sympathies about the laptop, having gone through this drama just as my book was at a critical stage in production. I now have an iMac, as laptops are not as hardy as they used to be. I also have an external hard drive, can save to DropBox . Fortunately the data could be recovered, as I hope yours can too. It’s important to stop using the laptop the minute it gets into trouble. Good luck!
Morning Juliet, you must have SPAT tacks when your laptop began to swallow your book.. how dreadful.. my laptop gave me no warning this time,.. but there you are.. it has never been quite 100 percent..mostly because I leave too much stuff on it! c
I’m going right now and put EVERYTHING on this computer on my portable hard drive!
Nice lambs 😉
So sorry to hear about your laptop! I just hope everything was saved on a hard drive or in iCloud.
Am laughing about my ignorance: half of what was said and advised here was totally beyond my current comprehension! Am working on a 5-year-old refurbished computer in which every part comes from a different maker and am still on Windows XP using ADSL2. Am thinking of asking the organization which fixes such up for the next one – this one must be due to collapse: they are only allowed to use stuff one stage before the latest: so Windows 7 will be next for me! Seems advantageous 🙂 !
windows 7 is the wayto go for sure.. c
Good luck with your laptop, Celi. Been there, done that, but I’m guessing we all have. While you’ve been dreaming of farms and vegetables, I’ve been dreaming of flowers. 🙂
I hope your computer guy gets you back up and running. Until then, I hope you have another nice dream…you last was lovely.
Loved your dream and its recounting.
Hope it is fixable, in the meantime, we dreamers are all reaching over the fence, (though I confess I screamed as there was a mouse in my gumboot) sending loving cheer and definitely get an external hard drive. Laws of thermodynamics and all that. Computers always die sooner or later. With Macs there is the click of death and …..
you are brilliant, so funny!! c
