Where have I been ?

Sunday saw me volunteering at '59 Rodney Street' - we had a very quiet day with only 8 people visiting - 3 tours. There are several things that delight me about the place and they are:
- the other volunteers are so nice to talk to, we have a good laugh about all sorts;
- everytime I go back I learn something new about the photographs, or photography, or the business, or the Hardmans, or their subjects.

The Chambre Hardman photograph you see for today's blog is "A Memory of Avignon". Everyone asks who the people are in the picture, and I found out on Sunday that they are friends of the actress Beryl Bainbridge who was photographed by the Hardmans. To see more of Hardman's pictures, access the National Trust Photographic Library at www.ntpl.org.uk. As time goes on I will muse more about Chambre Hardman as he just does not get enough press.

So what happened following my blogging on Saturday night ?

Well not content with being a novice at this blogging malarkey. There was I deftly unplugging the wires from the back of my base unit, and little did I know I was in the process of destroying one of my USB ports. Don't ask how I managed it ! Fortunately I have an extra one I can use but its off to the shops to get an extension for it methinks.

What made it all so very satisfying and worthwhile was the fact that I failed to do what I'd originally planned which was replace the cd-rom - the reason - I couldn't figure out how to open the base unit.

Its dead easy apparently - there's a lever !

Well I'm jiggling the damn 'lever' as I blog and ITS DOING NOWT !!!

Maybe its cos its Monday !
