My daughter has been pestering me for some time now to start digitsing and saving the 'family archive'. She's been in my loft and found lots of photos of people she doesn't recognise and when I thought about it I realised that a lot of them came from mine and Chris' parents and there are quite a few that I don't recognise so at last I'm doing something about it.
The scanner came today and I got it installed and working. I've now worked my way through 2 photo albums and am just realising whjat a mammoth task I've taken on
.
It's really strange because quite suddenly after a couple of hours I suddenly found I couldn't carry on scanning. I came across a photo of Chris using her (then) new overlocker, she couldn't have been happier if I'd given her the crown jewels.
Yesterday I was bored and decided to play with Microsoft Excel to see what I'd forgotten and what I'd remembered -
I used to support MS Office users amongst other things - I created a spreadsheet that told me it's 2 years 3 months and 30 days since I lost Chris and for some reason it is hurting very much....
