plans? pfft!

I've had a five day break.

I'd made plans.

Sweep the dust off the walls.
Vacuum the carpet.
Hop on a bus and take beach photos.

Did I do any of those things?

Heck no!

What I did was:

Figure out how to schedule new posts.
Yay me!!
Catch up on some blogs I haven't been to for a while.
Finish reading my current novel.
Spent hours and hours and hours sorting my photo files.
Putting a gazillion photos into folders by category in the dated folders.

Hopefully this will make it easier for me to now find the photos I need for any particular post.

Oh, I did catch a bus...
to my daughter's house and had a lovely family Easter lunch.

    What you did, as opposed to what you planned sounds both pleasant and rewarding.

    It wasn't a complete loss altogether was it :-).

    EC; plans are made to be broken. Besides, vacuuming sucks.

    Windsmoke; it was a much better weekend.

    If rules are made to be broken, then plans are made to be changed. I bet you are going to be so glad you spent the time sorting and archiving the photos, even though at the time it was a slog - no pain, no gain. :-)

    Ah the best laid plans and all . . sounds like you achieved something even if your walls are dusty. I'm in the process of uploading 1000 pics to Flickr with 1.5mb upload . . yikes, it'll take me days.

    Marie; I am glad I did the photos, but they're nowhere near finished. There are photos and copies of photos and copies of the copies all in different folders. I need to delete the copies...it's such a mess.

    Jennifer Kay; some of the dust is actually about 5 years old, I should probably throw it a birthday party.

    Baino; 1000 pics? best get started...

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
