I'm having some technical difficulties getting my photos from my flash card onto the computer. I know, sounds like it should be super simple right? But for some reason I'm getting all these error messages when I try and transfer them from the server to my laptop and tech support (aka the Mr.) has been working and skiing and hasn't been around to sort out my drama. I feel a bit naked blogging without pictures. (I took these photos a couple of weeks ago when we visited my little niece)
We have no TV at our new house. The valley we live in is some kind of media dead zone, which means we would need a 4 meter aerial to get reception. The Mr. feels this would be a grossly unsightly addition to our abode, so I am forgoing Grey's Anatomy and The Shire in favour of architectural aesthetics. Oddly, despite being a self confessed raging television addict, I haven't missed it in the slightest. And since giving up TV cold turkey I no longer feel like listening to popular top 40 style radio stations. I am living a vaguely puritanical existence in which I only listen to ABC classic FM and go to bed at around 8pm. As you can see my life is endlessly exciting!
I have been busy in the kitchen, so when I finally manage to sort out my photographic issues I'll share some more exciting things. I've been making lots of wintery treats like rainbow chard pies, beetroot pesto and Irish beer bread. Turi and I have even been experimenting trying to recreate Far Away Tree pop biscuits!

Are you transferring from the card while it's in the camera? Sometimes putting it in a card-reader instead can help...
ReplyDeleteI'm using a card reader... I think it's something to do with the network rather than the card. I'd plug it straight into my laptop but it's the wrong connection and I've lost the reader that plugs directly to the laptop during the move :(
DeleteI've missed the blog. TV is so bad that we've turned ours off tonight. However bed at 8 seems an extreme idea. The photos of the cousins are lovely.
