Blast! Dammit! and what a cock up

Doing all the things you do on back from hols, like unpacking, catching up on emails and viewing the photos, only to find the latter is impossible as they are not there. How can I have deleted them without knowing? I didn't reformat the card, I did delete some earlier ones from months back but not the whole damn bunch of this holiday. They did include some rather good action shots, party stuff as well of course and just the odd one or two colourful pics of us having a little drinkie poo on some sunny mountain restaurant terrace. Can't even prove I was there now.

Try something else

Thought I would try posting one of my pictures. This is hot off the easel and still wet. A little oil titled "Come on Robert" based on holiday and garden photos of family, but entirely composed by myself. I will give it to my son and his wife as a present. Awwww! People will say that's not like that mercenary old cynic.

Another thing to try

Blogging for the first time. Just back from a ski trip with my lovely missus and finding it hard to adjust as everyone does after a holiday. Only a week in Claviere on the Milky Way circuit in Italy, with a one day step over the border into France. We tried a second day having liked it so much and the Frogs refused us entry. I argued saying I did not have a broom secreted about my person, but they said pay up or go back - so we said up yours mon merde and we did.
