Screen Time

This was how my computer has looked all day.
Last night Mr K wrote some weird script to get the 23,000 photos out of my trash and back where they should be. It took him hours as it was very complicated and he couldn't get it to work. There are thousands of files which are unputbackable for no apparent reason. 
Surely if you can get them in there at the touch of a button you should be able to get them out again at the touch of a button. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
Anyway, Mr K eventually stopped writing random letters and symbols into tiny boxes - looking as if he was some sort of technical whizz in Spooks - and off it went. One file at a time. And when it found one it could put back it went back to the top again. And started again. Oh. My. God.
It had been going all night and this morning was down to 8,000.
It was strangely compelling to watch the blue line chugging its way down the list, finding a file to put back, flashing up the window where it's putting it back and then going back to the top of the list and chugging its way back down again.
At this rate it'll be finished halfway through 2018. 
We had another quiet day at home today. Miss L was a bit lost without Miss E and was asking all day when she'd be back.
She had been due back from Miss M's at about 4.30pm but then they decided to go to for a drink at The Garage in Buckingham with some friends of Miss M's mum. Drinks turned into dinner (and mocktails!!) and they didn't get back until nearly 8pm!! 
Miss L was counting down the seconds and all ready for their sleepover which had been postponed from last night.
She was a bit distraught when Miss E asked if Miss M could stay here tonight but surprisingly she said she would like Miss M to stay over. Even more surprisingly, Miss E said that Miss L could come in with them and join in the sleepover!!
So they're all in Miss E's room having a fine old time!
