A Quick Word From Yours Truly


Hi, welcome to PJ's blog.

If you've checked out the "About Me" bit you'll see I'm a keen amateur photographer who enjoys all things digital. I mostly like photographing plants and landscapes as they are easy targets ;-) I used to work in Software which sounds more exciting than it is but am now officially a Snr. Project Planner having changed jobs after almost 25yrs in Software. I sometimes wish I could work in photography but that would probably become boring if I did it day in and day out. I used to sponsor a wolf called Luna until she sadly passed away, and love all things "wolfy". Anyhow enjoy the blog and hopefully I'll manage to keep it up to date with what I've been doing and my favourite things!

Prison Walks & Printers!

 


So today has been taken up with setting up yet another new printer after mine suddenly died yesterday. Some error suggesting it needed to be returned for repair. Yeah right because I'm gonna pay out to send the bloody thing somewhere! So managed to find something suitable and available for delivery today from the local Currys. Another Canon because generally they are much less fussy about compatible inks, this time it's a TS8351, still an all-in-one Wi-Fi machine and also prints on CDs not that I have reason to do too many of those these days - less so now that my new laptop no longer has an optical drive either ;-) Easy peasey to set up following an online set of instructions, even the connection to my router was dealt with by the installation process :-)

So having got the printer up and running again and printed out the Christmas TV guide which is what I'd tried to print yesterday when it fell over, thought I would make the most of the drier weather and head out for some much needed fresh air. Being cooped up because of the rain and this tier 4 rubbish means that fresh air is something distinctly lacking some days and so took myself off for a slightly longer circuitous route. Used the trusty mobile to snap a few pics along the way and fed these into Adobe Spark to create the collage. Mainly because the collage feature in Google Photos has no control over it. Usually I do this on the phone but as I was already on the laptop I thought I'd try and do it on there instead. Pretty sure I stumbled across something recently offering collages but can't for the life of me remember what it was. Might have to go a hunting!
