I fell into that trap too. Apps come and go all the time and even if they don't disappear they have to be updated to stay compatible with the latest version of the OS. I "think" Adobe might have a photo app that uses the metadata fields but I have not tried it. 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sir TophamHatt Posted July 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2020 Kinda feel a bit let down today. Went to the garden centre mid-morning but hardly any herbs. Drove 20 mins the other way to another one, still none suitable. Did a bit of pottering in the garden but don't feel like I've done very much. Bought the wrong post and spike from Wickes so have to take that back tomorrow. The sun shade sail I bought doesn't quite fit in the way we want it to. Didn't clean the chicken out, did nothing with the model railway (although waiting for a power supply - coming Wednesday). But I did plant out some plants and pulled up the garlic so I guess the day hasn't been completely wasted. I'm not really a relaxer, more of a doer. 3 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Just noticed, at 1.08 pm, that a parcel I’m expecting has been processed at the local post office at 3.16 pm. (Actually, it is coming from a seller in the Eastern time zone, so I assume all tracking times are in Eastern time i.e. our time plus 3 hours. Weird to see, though.) 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post New Haven Neil Posted July 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2020 Busy day, achieved things in the garden, unlike poor Mr Hatt. Some remedia work on the 'Waiting Room' as some trimming strips were not painted behind before fitting by the lazy bu££ers that build it so they have rotted. All replaced and sealed now. It was very windy again until evening, a shame as we also want to get out in the kayak, of course now it's dead still at 21.17 hrs, and we haven't got nav lights..... Those ships? The rule is you pass port to port, quite what the black hulled one is up to I have no idea, the Mate on watch is probably making toast or something. Bloomin deckies.... 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post Gwiwer Posted July 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2020 Evening all, Today has been a hive of activity Upon the Hill of Strawberries. SWMBO was out early for a lengthy walk while I debated whether or not 7am might be a trifle early for commencing Sunday. After breakfast there was a small amount of domestic engineering required followed by our usual viewing of G*****ers World which by some magic can be seen two days after it went to air. I don't quite understand how those things work. The afternoon began on the stroke of midday which was about as early as I thought decent to go around weeding and raking under other people's windows. Neighbours (Next door) had a house-full of boyfriends which we knew from last night so I was especially keen to not disturb or embarrass anyone there. Nothing like a strange old dude poking about in the garden right under your window when you have other things on your mind! By afternoon tea I had all of the beds we are responsible for weeded, trimmed and edged. Following afternoon tea I was directed to plant sunflowers and geraniums in the only now-empty bed and knowing that the occupants of the flat in question had already gone out for the day I wasn't bothered about proximity to their window. By dinner time it all looked a lot better than it had done this morning. Our hope is that slugs, squirrels and other garden pests don't do too much harm in the next few days as everything (hopefully) takes root. I have some squirrel repellant due in a white van on Tuesday. We shall see in due course whether it actually repels anything. Alcohol has been enjoyed, brisket and roast veg likewise and with our own broad and runner beans plus a courgette and some chard from the garden. And that was the weekend. Gone. Just like that. Far too early tomorrow I must arise and go forth unto the House of Fun. I shall see you all after I return. Until then stay well and sleep soundly. 16 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie's question reminded me that I really need to organize my pics too. I'm going to give this a shot. https://www.howtogeek.com/344543/how-to-tag-any-windows-file-for-easy-organization/ It just might be as simple as using multiple tags in JPG's tag field. e.g. dogs;shonna;california;christmas A simple search on any of those tags should find the pics in question.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted July 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 12, 2020 15 hours ago, iL Dottore said: A friend of mine worked in shipping logistics (he worked for UPS or DHL or similar) and when I asked him for some advice about shipping an item from the US he informed me that as important as, if not more important than, weight is volume. Apparently, so my friend maintains, volume is important because empty spaces in cargo containers, whether by air or by sea, represent lost revenue. So, I would imagine, consignments consisting of small boxes would be split up so that the small boxes can be use to fill up empty spaces in cargo containers. Presumably a small amount of extra paperwork this requires is more than offset by the financial advantages it brings to the carrier. The fact that a small customer (or should I say, perhaps with more accuracy, a customer with a small order) is inconvenienced is neither here or there for carriers for whom the large corporate customers are considered to be the priority. It is the exact reason why our consignment is fragmented - consolidated airfreight. It's quite interesting to see the different paths taken and this is happening more than normal at the moment as there are less available flights. A large amount of airfreight is actually carried on scheduled passenger flights and as they are running at heavily reduced levels, there is a premium to be paid for priority consignment. 5 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So shonna AND california should find all the pix with both of those tags. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasties duly enjoyed for dinner this evening well up to the normal standard. I really must have had a most depraved youth, for when you mentioned “Pasties” (as opposed to “Cornish Pasties“) the first thing that comes to mind are those bits of dancing equipment normally associated with pneumatic young ladies who specialise in disrobing to music. I suppose I could draw an analogy between the two, or compare them favourably, but I think it is wise to stop now. A lot has to do with pronunciation. PAAsties are what you eat, PaYsties are how you described Brian. 7 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
