Chilling

 It may be the beginning of October, but it is still warm, if not sunny. I lazed about in bed until 07:40 this morning and felt guilty for not being up and about. We sat and enjoyed breakfast while reading the press and social media and then, finally, started to stir.

Diane wanted to do some tidying in the garden and disappeared out the front of the house. I wanted to file the photos from the cruise and from yesterday. They were already backed up in Google Photos but hadn't yet hit my master database locally. The rest of the morning was spent downloading over 500 photos and videos in batches, then processing them with my "photo filer" program that creates all of the relevant subdirectories and corrects the creation dates to match the EXIF data. It also creates copies of video clips in a separate video clip library. Once all of the photos were filed I went through them (using Adobe Lightroom Classic) to make sure that all of the featured faces had been identified. Job done. Overnight tonight the backup routines will take two further copies of all of these images and videos and store them on other devices in my NAS farm.

The afternoon has been fairly quiet. Some reading, some resting, and the preparation of Sunday Lunch (dinner). This week we had roast pork with crackling, sugar snap peas, roasted potatoes, and roasted carrots. We have enough left over for another one or two meals.
