I was hankering for something green, hence today’s photos were taken in the spring, and that’s also why I had a lettuce for my tea last night, or part of one at any rate. I was also hankering for some water, again, as in the photo, and I am sure we will see rain again one day. Maybe.
I have a package to collect from down town, and I am hoping it is, finally, the correct lead which will enable me to transfer from Minidisc to PC. I can’t tell you the hassle I’ve had trying to find one of these things. After taking advice from a man who knows (thanks Glen), and after initially misinterpreting said advice, I ended up with a very nice lead that was no good whatsoever because I’d bought the wrong one. So, I tried again and bought another wrong one. Then, I went back to the guru and retook the advice, interpreted it correctly, and ordered the correct lead. Then, three weeks later, Skroutz told me they were very sorry, but they couldn’t locate one after all and sent my money back. So I went to Amazon Germany and found one there, and that, I hope, is what’s arrived.
If so, I should then be able to transfer interviews with my godfather from the portable Minidisc player to the laptop, and from there, to my website. Assuming I can manage that, people will then be able to listen to him telling me (some of) his story, which they can also read in the book – advert and link at the bottom of the page.
Apart from that great excitement or disappointment depending on a) what the package turns out to be, b) if it’s the correct lead, and c) if I can get it all to work, I’ve got very little planned except reading the newspapers. That’ll be newspapers from February 1893 as I think about what the next story will be while the current one is with the proofreader. And that’s about all I have to tell you this morning, so have a nice day, and if it’s a green and rainy one, lucky you! (Scroll for gratuitous advert.)
