First "scheduled" 4-day weekend

Jun 18, 2020 13:21

Four weeks ago I was "supposed" to be starting a walking holiday on the South Downs Way, and to console myself I took the Friday off, making it a 4-day weekend with the Monday bank holiday. This was such an enjoyable, relaxing break that I decided to make every 4th weekend a 4-day weekend, and this coming weekend is the first of these. I am really looking forward to it! Last time I was working hard on the stole, but I don't have a similarly challenging knitting project underway at the moment, and until last Sunday I thought there might be a risk that I would get bored. But on Saturday I promised a friend that I would show him pictures I'd taken at the Tate Britain Beardesley exhibition the weekend before lockdown started, and on Sunday morning I sat down to get the pictures ready. The pictures were on my ipod touch rather than my phone, and my icloud storage has been full for many months so there's been no backup of photos to the cloud, and whenever I connect the device to my computer to transfer photos, I also make a half-arsed attempt to back them up to another type of cloud storage. This time the attempt was as much as 65% arsed and I also freed up a bunch of space on the icloud storage so backups have resumed - but a lot of my photos are still just lying around in digital heaps and I feel I should be doing better, so the project for the weekend is to sort the photos out.

I have hidden folders on my photo blog called "Walks by the river" and "Daily walks". "Daily walks" is also by the river, but is for photos taken in the last couple of years on my fitbit driven morning walks. There are hundreds of photos in both folders, many with pretty-much identical views, and they will surely get pruned right back this weekend.
shewhomust asked me last week if I was still doing my morning walks and I absolutely am, every weekday morning including this morning when it was pissing down from beginning to end. I've been meaning to post about the walks, including some photos, but I will save that as an end-of-weekend treat for myself.
