We have defences against the blackness of depression and the like...our friend in the corner does have a halo of resistance to the darkness!!!

My Computer is Back

The phone rang...the computer store informed me that my "old" laptop / notebook is now repaired and ready for me to collect.

That sent a jolt of joy through my body.  This week has been empty, without all my usual software to use in creating my blog and access to the Internet.

I am writing this blog on a "borrowed" laptop, with different software and different feel...it is like driving a different car.  The controls are slightly different and the feel of the machine is totally different.

I will be posting up some of my latest drawings - artworks up in the near future.  I am currently using some pastels, just to see what I can create with this medium.

I will be back soon!

Computer Crash

The joys of using computers...mine took a nosedive the other night.  As I went to shut my laptop down, I heard a low but strange noise coming from the guts of my computer.  It really sounded like a soft baby cry, and sure enough the following day the computer was "dead". 

The computer would not boot up, and now, of course my poor laptop or notebook is in the computer shop having it's guts repaired.

I have three days to wait till they know if the data from the hard drive can be recovered or not.  I have backed up my hard drive but not on a regular basis...

The moral of this story is the REGULARLY back up your hard drive - no matter whether you are using your computer for pleasure or business.  BACK UP EVERY DAY!!!!

Outer Space - are we alone?


This is a small art work that I have drawn in soft pastels...something new for me...

Are we alone?  This universe is way too big for us to be the only "pepple on the beach".

Next time you see a strange thing in the sky let me know!  I would be interested in your story.
