Bloody miserable two days!

Well, it all started yesterday morning....my daughter emailed me saying she wasn't coming out this weekend because she had to finish some paintings. Now, that I can handle, but this is the third weekend in a row. You get all excited and on a high, then bang. All gone! Then, shortly after this, I get word that my brother, who is visiting my parents in the city and had planned on coming out here on Friday and see me before he flew home figured he couldn't make it. Then, I had taken some pictures of the garden and the computer wouldn't take them off the camera. I then looked up the flippin Users Guide for the camera. It said I would have to re-install the software. Didn't have a clue how to do that. So here I was, sunk in the depths of depression. I figured the only thing for it was to go shopping. What did I do??? Why I bought myself a hair colour. Light Amber Brown. I felt much better and not only that, I was going to be a new woman when I put this wonderful color in. Now, my hair is a medium brown, but I had it streaked blonde a year or so ago, then of course there was the grey coming in. So early this morning I decide this is the time to do the job. Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha. You've seen pictures of plump older women with bright orange lipstick on, a cigarette dangling from their mouth and bright orange hair. How does that song go "Well it's cryin time again......." I expect I will be sporting a bag on my head for the next while. A bit of good news after all this, was talking to my brother and he says he will make a short visit here on Saturday. Yay!!

Is he any good with computers?

Hey Boo, I tried taking the pictures off one more time before I figured I'd take a sledge hammer to the computer and lo and behold it worked. I'm going to take some more pictures and try again later. My daughter says she is definitely coming next weekend, lol, so as she can take a computer apart and put it back together again, it will be no problem for her to fix it all up.

Great news OC, looking forward to seeing pics and hearing about your family's visit!

Well, I've discovered that it's not the computer, but the camera, it's buggered. To top it all off I don't have the sales slip to bring it back to where I bought it. Sigh......... It's only a cheap camera, under $200.00 and no good for pictures of birds and insects, never the less it was ok for garden pics.

I don't know how old your camera is but did you pay for it with your credit card? If so, there will be a record on your statements. I would try and take it back to the shop anyway, you are such an honest person they are bound to believe you!
