Taking photos is the easy bit
Another delivery this morning. This time it was a new scanner. ( My old scanner broke last week.) However I now realise I don't need a new scanner. The printer I bought last April which was still in its box is also a scanner. I bought the new printer as I thought my old one was on its last legs but its still going. However it now needs new ink so I thought instead of buying new ink for it I would start using the new printer which came with ink. It was when I took the new printer out of the box I realised it was a scanner as well as a printer. And I had already bought the new scanner. Oh well that will teach me to pay more attention to what I have bought.
Weather was terrible all day - rain all day with sleet at times and a freezing cold wind. I could quite easily have stayed indoors but made the effort to go on the bus to Gateshead. There is an Iceland shop there so I popped in to get a couple of the new Slimming World meals which Iceland have recently started selling. I bought Chicken Tikka Masala and Meatballs and pasta in tomato sauce. Looking forward to trying them. My blip shot shows the Iceland fridge containing the frozen meals. I looked in a few charity shops before coming home. Weather was too nasy to stay out for long.
I used my new camera today. Its a CANON POWERSHOT SX 510. I wanted a similar camera to 2 of the ones I already have - but smaller.
When the time came to transfer today's shots to my computer I was stumped. I usually upload photos using a USB cable. There wasn't one. There was no instructiuon book - the manual is online. So I spent time downloading that and finding out how to upload photos. You can use a USB lead - but its not supplied. You have to buy one separately. I hadn't realised that. Another way to upload is to use a Card Reader. Now my fellow blippers probably know all about card readers but I have never used one . Luckily I had one tucked away - unused, still in the packaging. In the end it was easy as pie to use and I finally got my shots on to the computer. Whew!
