Okay, 2 weekends have now passed since I updated my blog. I'm not getting lazy, far from it, but my schedule has been really really packed despite not taking any photos at all. I had my laptop replaced and any one having gone through that experience, especially owning your life's worth of digital photos attached to the old PC, knows just how much planning needs to be put in before you take the final plunge of decommissioning the old one. Once it's gone, it's gone! Needed to research migrating iTunes library, Lightroom catalogue, backing up documents, etc. It involved reinstalling all my software again from scratch, retrieving lost software keys from the original vendors, etc. To compound it further, I also had my new iPhone 5 delivered and while trying to set it up realised my iTunes library was somehow corrupted and the phone would only play about 20 of my 1000+ songs. Cue frantic online research of iTunes support pages, public forums and lots of trial by error activities trying to get to the root of the problem.

I did attend an after-school sports event in which my younger 10 yr old daughter participated. The highlight of her day having spectacularly come last in all her 3 chosen events (one of which was the 60m hurdles in which she succeeded in clattering into every single hurdle and still came through with a big grin on her face - bless!) was having her photo taken with one of the more popular GB Olympians, Adam Gemili. Unfortunately, I only had my iPhone with me (I know, sacrilege!), but it was the only available camera with me at the time.

I still recorded a significant milestone despite my busyness - I uploaded the first set of photos on my website and applied my price plans to them. It's always a work-in-progress obviously, but at least now, I can refer people to my website without thinking I would drive them away permanently due to lack of interest.

It will be a relatively short blog today. I am soooo looking forward to my time off when I hope to get lots of my photography related targets sorted. Will keep this blog posted on progress.

In the meantime....cheerio.
