Cold and Recovery

 Well, the whole family - daughter, SiL, Grandkids, Missus and me - has been struck by the common cold and members are at varying stages of misableness.

After keeping it in abeyance this weekend somehow whilst attending a large family gathering in Leyland its geared up with avengance today, so I've been in bed most of this Monday on my new laptop and drinking hot tea in between sneezes.

A big job has been trying to recover a corrupted file for my latest book project with Blurb on the X-series of toys.

After several hours of re-pasting Bill's fabulous photos and my archived pictures, Stage 1 of the recovery has uploaded and I now need to complete Stage 2, the text edits again, which will take a good hour.

More steaming Yorkshire tea is required before I carry on though.

Have you got a cold?

Have you ever lost or corrupted an important computer file readers? Did you recover it?

  2. "Hasn't the weather been strange lately?"
    Not exactly "The Last Wave" grade, but as we hurtle towards summer in the Southern hemisphere, the variability is surprising. We have just had the hottest October day on record, yet the tempretures have crashed and I'm wearing a jumper again!
    -With a runny nose to boot...
