STILL WORKING ON KENT PLUS BACKING UP EXT DRIVES

Another tense technology moment when the drive I tried to back up last weekend vanished. I've recovered it and finally got the Seagate 6TB external drive working. It was impossible to transfter the huge files on Windows 10 thus I'm tryping on the super Windows 10 computer while the old Windows 7 is doing al the hard work. If the disks were compatible I'd have use my trusty Windows XP machine. Like everying it is all supposed to be better but when the crunch comes you have to return to more reliable machines. Anyway I'm on the last of the current batch of Phil Tatt film scanning so I can pick up with my own Terry Barker reels of which there are only 4 left to scan. Add to that the rest of the batch from John Bishop when the external drives are finished backing up I can save everything and take a break for a week. I was considering splitting the Kent material into two volumes but I'll just finish the East Kent with what I have as it lasts an hour at least.

The weather for the next week ahead looks a bit challenging for filming but I'm sure I'll get somerthing done this week. We are off to The Crown tonight to bid farewell to Janet and Simon whose five year tenure didn't quite go as planned with two years of pandemic. The cunning plan for the Bells o move to The Crown hasn't happened but could a few months down the line. We felt quite at home this morning as St Wilfreds while they take cautious steps to modernise their services. We are really trying to cut down any reasons for stress as we can well do without it. Not too many DVD orders this week which suits us. I can't go plugging anything in tonight to get photos as I don't want to upset the huge file tranfer.
