MEGA psittacosis! :¬(

Now THIS is what I truly call an emergency.
We took off to Lakeland© at Windermere, had a meal, made history by leaving with empty hands and invaded the village in search of a particular knife we can't find.
Thence to Hayes Ambleside for a wander and brew. Home via St. Johns in the Vale.
Counting photos taken in lieu of notes, oddities which tickled my humerus, reasonable(?) shots, etc. I must have had best part of 3-4 doz.
Got home, uploaded, dashed through them, evicted some, stopped for tea, returned to find them all -.-.-.-.-.- GONE.
:¬((
I have a habit of telling the disputer to erase after download.
NOT ANY MORE!!!!! Cannot find them in the disputer and they're wiped off the camera. Well all except the "Extra" that is.
