tenth

I've been having some awful computer problems. For some reason, all of a sudden I can't get Lightroom to import or save my photos and I don't know what to do about it.

I spent ages this afternoon trying to work it out despite the fact that I am not in the slightest computer literate. And then out of desperation I called for back-up but my farmer boy didn't have any better luck with it.

Yesterday my system worked and today it doesn't.

In the past things like this have been known to make me crazy. They've made me get cross and shouty and behave in a way that later I wish I hadn't. Today when I felt my breathing get shallow, when I realised that I wanted to get impatient with the one person who was trying his best to help me and when I started to feel panicky about the future of this blog and my photos and life as I knew it...I grabbed a basket and went outside.

I wandered around for a while checking on the state of the tomatoes and the peas and then I hit the poly tunnel and started to pick today's cucumbers. And after a while I slowed and calmed down.

And then a little bit after that my farmer boy joined me and as we were chatting I had a realisation that I may be crap at computers but I can grow cucumbers and that maybe I should be happy with that.

And maybe I should find a real life Lightroom teacher to come over and set me up with some systems.

And maybe I should stack the dishwasher with some jars and get pickling!!

These two photos are of yesterday's crop, there'll be more tomorrow. And the next day. And the day after that.

If you've got a pickle recipe I'd love to try it.
Actually if you've got any sort of cucumber recipe - I'm interested.


See ya tomorrow!

Love Kate xoxo
