  • backups

    Finally dug out one of the old hard drives that was linked up to my old PC, the one that’s been sat idle for half a dozen years. I had my old photos on there, backed up on drives in the PC and three external drives, but realised that I should back them up online, just in case. I’ve got a ton of storage options - OneDrive, Google Photos - so will probably just dump them all in both.

    What I should do is go through them and have a bit of clearout, rather than just dumping the 250GB+ in its entirety.

    But who has the time?

    It does make me wonder though - what will happen to all these thousands of photos? Will they ever get seen again? The kids are unlikely ever to look at them when I’m gone, and will probably never even realise they’re there. Digital ephemera, snapshots of a life, of lives lived.

  • LunaCat brought in a mouse last night. This is a rare occurrence, only the second one the cats have found in the four years they’ve been here. She was very annoyed that I took her toy away.

  • I like it here. It’s quiet. A place to muse and ponder without the expectation of chasing likes and followers. You can go hey I thought of a thing and write the thing and no one is telling you you’re wrong about the thing.

  • Doorstep thoughts, day 3. It’s getting colder in the mornings. Will there be another flush of summer?

  • Short week at work. Today is Tuesday but also my last day at work, so it’s also sort of Friday

  • Over the summer we spent a week down at my brother-in-law’s in London, doing a bit of house- and kitten-sitting. Each morning I’d get up, feed the ravening balls of purr (never been fed EVER, uncle Dave, honest), make a cup of tea and go and sit on the back doorstep in the sunshine while the cats frolicked on the lawn.

    It was really quite pleasant.

    Today I realised that whilst my own two cats are no longer ravening balls of purr, there was nothing stopping me from doing the same. Ignoring the pile of washing up that needed to go in the dishwasher, I made a brew, perched myself on the front doorstep and just had ten minutes of peace and quiet.

    Nice way to start the week.
