It had been very wet again overnight, but there was a temporary let up during the first part of the morning. The Gorse Fox headed off to his Sunday football appointment. Again the car park was rammed full, but he was able to grab a spot as parents left, having dropped their little treasures for a morning in the mud.
The football was, as they say, a game of two halves. In the first half, the yellow-bibs (featuring the Gorse Fox) managed to take a 4-0 lead, but come the second half the tide had turned and in the end we were lucky to finish with 6 apiece (including one goal from the Gorse Fox).
Back home the focus turned to old photos and the family tree. The Gorse Fox had a number of loose photos in the study and several certificates. Some of these were not really suitable to stick in the scanner so he used an App from Google called PhotoScan. This is an excellent app and allows you to take photos of photos or documents but instead of take the one image, it take one image in the centre of the subject then directs you to move the camera to each of the corners in turn (the exact spot is indicated with a white circle) a further photo is taken at each corner then the five images are combined. This makes sure that there's no flash back from the flash, and also manages the overall lighting. It really is very good indeed.
Having sorted out some of these photos, the Gorse Fox returned to family tree and added some of them, and some of the certificates to the relevant entries in the database. It turned out to be a very productive afternoon.
