Mum almost lost all our photos!

… but luckily she didn’t … quite!

The other day she brought home a new black box to attach to her computer. So she could back up all the photos. But then she plugged the black box in (it’s exactly the same as the black box she already has, that has all our photos on it) then did something stupid (though she blames the computer) and then next thing she had DELETED all our precious photos! The original black box was completely blank!

Luckily, she used what’s called a ‘data recovery’ (fancy name for ‘fixer of Mum’s stuff-ups’) program and she got all our photos back. It took days!

The only thing is, when Mum had all our photos on the black box, they were all organised and named and had all the pretty editing and effects you see. But now… all she has is one BIG folder with HEAPS of photos – all with funny names – all with no pretty editing done to them. She has a LOT of sorting out to do.

I don’t really understand this pic but Mum wanted to post it to show you how many photos she had to sort out before she started…

So, if she’s a bit slack with the posting, you’ll know why. We might just do some little posts in the meantime while she gets everything sorted out.

Wish us luck!
