      At the very least back up to google and Flickr at full res, and have two hdds for the raw files.

      As I don’t make a living from snaps, I only keep my pics and raws on my PC untill I’ve finished with them, or that are important pics, or very good ones. Raw files add up fast.

      But every photo taken is uploaded , then the ones I work on, then also get uploaded as jpegs.

      And any raw put in long term storage.

      I know this is suckling eggs, but….

      Recuva is good, but it doesn’t help all.

        Seen a story titled yesterday, “sex dolls could be hacked to kill their owners” or something like that.

        I didn’t bother reading it, but it made me laugh.

          Strangely I’m not to down beat about our 5-0 drubbing. Untill we had Mané sent off we was the better team, Salha missed 3 plus there was a few more chances missed too. So at one down I still thought the game was ours. once down to ten men, we just couldn’t keep up with their players.

          When I seen we was playing klavan and moreno, I though “oh shit”, and was proved correct. Loveran and Milner should of been in. Far more disciplined, and capable. Then Ito ask them to play as a 3, in the second half is just mental.

          It would of been the right call, if we had players that could pull it off. Them pair can’t pull off a back four, nevermind switching to a 3 on the fly.

          It’s highlighted what we all knew, we are 2 centre half’s short, and one good defensive left back.

          Tbh I think klopp plan was to play 3 at the back this year with VVD as the middle man, with matip and loveran each side, and play our left/right backs ad wing backs (flying wingers), all our options in that dept are good going forward, but weak defensively. So a 3 come 5, would make alot of sense. But alas we screwed the VVD up, and we are left in the shit. Though even with VVD, we would of been one good CB light still.

                      I doubt it will factor in electric prices per watt a long with fuel price. There maybe an app out there. If not, there may be a whole in the market for one.

                      You would have to get the total pence per mile figure, then add on the price of you electric fill ups. The add that to your pence per mile figure,  For a true reading.

                      If you have a smart meter, it would be as easy as seeing how much extra the car ‘sucks’ from the wall over the time it’s plugged in.

                      Though I bet it doesn’t charge at a steady rate, It will likly slow down for the last 20%. so it may be a hard one to trully monitor, and gain an exact figure.

                      You’d be better forgetting  the electric cost, and just use the standard mpg. Though an mpg figure and electric cost figure, both separate  and combined would be Interesting  reading.

                        I don’t have solar here, and won’t be getting it as sadly the mountain blocks the sun for a lot of the day.

                        So solar aside, no one sees much negatives. It’s not its going to change my bills. Will have a little look around the net. Though I know there is some people seriously against the SMs. Moaning about radiation etc…

                        Years ago my old neighbour, lovely women, wanted a water meter installing as she was on her own. However as our water connection feeds through both houses, the water board (or whomever) said, she would have to talk us into having one too.

                        I felt sorry for her, but at that time we had a house of 7, I was not opting for a water meter. 4 washes a day +,  multiple baths and showers, plus about 30 toilet flushes etc. I’ll stick to the flat rate thanks.

                                  Turn Washingtons spies is a good series on Amazon too. This is about kicking us our rather than the civet war, but to me it’s all the same. Lol. I’m too ignorant of the civet war. But there is a good documentary series on Amazon about it ‘the ultimate civil war series’  , that I watched after I finished Turn.

                                  It seems the civil war wasn’t as straightforward as I thought. What does get me, is how they went form a mess to world leaders in a very short time. Got to be some good management went on at some point.

                                    I could drop meat, if I could live of a good veg curry.

                                    We use to eat alot of beef, but the doc told the wife she can’t eat much red meat, so we now eat more chicken. Chicken bores the life out of me. Unless it’s from kfc, and it ain’t the chicken that’s good, but the col. Secret batter recipe.

                                    Tbh I’m no green peace bod, but I do think cow is just one huge waste of resources,  And I love me a steak. Since the red meat is off the table for the most part, I make a b-line to the steak selection when I go out. With a a boat of pepper sauce, incase the steak is naff. But a do love pepper sauce on me chips.

                                    But to circle back to curry, a good curry doesn’t need meat, some of the best I’ve had had been meatless. Add to that, Tesco’s fresh pizza, the veg one is very nice also, withoit the meat, and especially pepperoni, so much healthier.

                                    Oh no, I may be half veggie already. Will have to stop off for a double sausage and egg in the morning. (I love the stupid greasy things).

                                        I think looking after dogs, is more a way of life than work. That hard work is required, I have no doubt.

                                        But I bet you’ll still be minding dogs for many a year yet. Maybe just wind the numbers down a bit as you get older.
