@janetteb I’m not sure if the word is ‘dedication’ or ‘geeky obsession’. When I first went digital, c.2004, I saved the results on DVD’s, which naturally prompted me to put an index on each DVD. My first digital camera was a dreadful little thing, best forgotten, in 2005 I upgraded to a Fuji which gave adequate images. Then my first ‘good’…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent I was only teasing about the “bragging”! I’m glad that you have this opportunity to swim daily. You enjoy it, and that’s so important in life. Our daytime hours are similar in the summer. Like you, I love having such long days.

The most time-consuming part for me (and I think it’s the same with you) is weeding out all the photos I…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent that is impressive and requires dedication. My filing system is more akin to @Nerys. I store all my images in folders roughly dated. No details attached. I have photos of places which I have forgotten the name of. Recently I made up a slide show for our eldest as a 30th gift. (it was started as an 18th gift so has taken a fair…[Read more]

@nerys Sorry if it looks like I’m bragging. But its just so nice to be able to go and swim every day (and this year Summer seems to have arrived early, at least up this end of the country). What I also love about summer are the long evenings, it doesn’t get dark until 10pm or so (of course anyone in the mid-latitudes can say the same). It always…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent OK, now you’re just bragging! Oh, to be able to swim in the ocean at this time of year (especially in our hemisphere). Come to think of it, here I’m not sure I’d do it any time of year. Most of the time, the water is too cold for me. Some folks here do polar plunges. I’m not one of them!

Merry Christmas / New Year / solstice.

I’ve been absent [minded] for a while, time always sneaks past when I’m not looking. Been swimming every day, here (water’s warm!) And also indexing all my digital photos, of which I have literally tens of thousands, I tend to binge on shots. A luxury I could never afford with film,…[Read more]

Yes! Here’s to everyone having an enjoyable festive period, however you choose to celebrate it.

@janetteb Thank you! Merry Yuletide/winter solstice/summer solstice/Christmas/holiday season to you and all!

Every year, despite my best intentions I just never get time to sit down at my laptop and wish everyone here a wonderful yuletide. So this year I thought I would get in early and, as our tech has failed again and we cannot watch The Snowman< I am taking the time to wish everyone a wonderful season, (despite the lack of a Christmas Special).

And…[Read more]

Huh, weird that it’s also so hard to access! Almost a conspiracy, I’d say… Jk, lol. But still, pretty frustrating. Ah well, I guess it’ll make it all the more exciting when it finally is available here! Based on the feedback I’ve seen, I’m definitely willing to wait for it.

Personally I don’t have any holidays to celebrate during this break,…[Read more]

Not on Disney+ until February apparently. Which tells it’s own story.

Happy people are enjoying it so far.

And hope you are all having an enjoyable festive period…

Only watched as far as The Deep (ep 3) so far. Interested to see the various resolutions, if Russ manages that, because there’s a lot of tropes and peculiar soft sci fi genuflections which I’m sure can’t be all they seem to be. But by the time you read this, you’ll know.

It’s interesting that this longer form seems more successful…[Read more]

Hello! I’ve not yet seen the war between the land and the sea yet, though I also haven’t watched much of the UNIT series- once I saw this thread discussing it, I went to go check where I even could, and I can’t seem to find it streaming anywhere in the US. Does anyone happen to know a streaming service I could use to catch up on it? I’ve pretty…[Read more]

I’ve enjoyed it so far. Not mind-blowing but solid telly
