“the three georges”
Brass rubbing inside St Mary’s has some results . This is is George Monoux , next week will be his second wife Anne . His first wife and children died , probably of the plague , fortunately we have science and medicine nowadays . They are gold wax on black paper , black wax on white paper , and silver wax on black paper , but the best image comes from an inverting of the black and white version .
“the george inverted”
More of that next week with a full description of the project to date .
In the mean time , back to the data . Early on last year I had a computer problem which resulted in my hard drive being replaced with a solid state drive . Unfortunately this seems to have been a poor quality one , there are a few of them about , and I am not alone in this , so be warned , when its important don’t go for the cheap option .
But enough of the warning , back to the tale . The result of all this is that the voltage regulators fried , taking the chips clock with them , and I lost all the data . An expensive problem to to try to sort out , especially as it ended with no data .
It had been a busy year with lots on my mind , and I failed to back up , so I lost about 8 months of work . Given that I had been busy , there was not as much work lost as there could have been , as if that is any comfort . So I’ve lost a lot of preliminary work for animations that I’m thinking about , about 60 layers on a photoshop project that I wanted to have completed by now , and sundry other pictures .
I’m almost back on track , if only I could find the picture of the table top library outside the St James St library , taken during the save our libraries campaign that gave us the Mill .
I have been meaning to re-evaluate my work life , and this has certainly stimulated that , I think I know what I’m about to get on with . That includes trying to sort out this bloody blogs appearance .
I have found three pictures by Turner of the burning down of the houses of Parliament , they now form the wallpaper on my computer .
On the hypochondria front my recent colonography shows three hernias , a large hiatus , an umbilical , and a left inguinal one. The good news is I don’t have to have a colonoscopy , bad news no resolution of the anemia .
