When we got back from our house-sitting stint, we needed to recover my photos after an external hard drive got dropped. I’m pleased to say the photos are now on a new external hard drive. The technician couldn’t recover a few of the files but I haven’t been able to work out what’s missing yet. We’re also in the process of installing a better back-up system. So that’s all good news.
We’ve run a few errands today and tomorrow we’re both seeing the doctor. My driver’s licence is up for renewal and I need a medical certificate. I also have to have a new photo taken.
Vince saw his surgeon yesterday and now needs to have a litre of fluid removed from around his lung. We don’t have a date for that yet.
The photo was taken at the house-sit. The tree branches were a lovely pink colour as the sun was setting but I didn’t capture it very well.

I have pendrivies where I store a lot to save space in my hard drives.
Wil lthat be a minor surgery for Vince? Hope all goes well with him.

I’m very thankful you got most of the photos!!
Good luck with the doctor and driver’s license. Hmm, that’s not a bad idea (a medical certificate for renewal). But these days, I trust the older drivers here better than the younger ones.

This is great news and I am glad the surgeon will remove that fluid on Vince too.
I do love this photo Judy!

I'm glad most of your photos were recovered and that you have a new backup system for them.
That's a beautiful picture and you can tell from the color on the limbs that it's either a sunset or a sunrise coloring it. 
I hope Vince is okay and gets the extra fluid removed from around his lungs soon. That has to be hampering his breathing.
Good luck with your driver's license. I always hate the pictures they take and use on mine.

I hope Vince's fluid removal goes well. I'm glad you got most of your photos back. We don't need a medical certificate for our licenses. That's a lovely photo.
