I don’t often attend wedding rehearsals but I always like to visit the wedding venue a few days before the ceremony. When I was invited to attend the rehearsal it was an excellent opportunity to combine a visit to the venue with meeting the minister, groom’s parents, best man and ushers in advance of the wedding.
The minister is terrific and is allowing photographs (preferably without flash) during the ceremony.
Fingers crossed for a fine day on Saturday.
Welsh class again this morning, continuing to work on the current assessments, firing questions at each other and making notes of the answers. No rain today which makes a welcome change but the weather has become much colder with quite a frost last night.
A new release of the blog software today, quite a few changes to options and plugins, I’ve completed the upgrade and it seems to be working as planned.
The problems with email on my webhost appear to have been resolved, they’ve been undertaking a server upgrade and for several days recently email access has been dreadful. Apparently no emails sent to me have been lost but they have been taking a significant time to arrive, the backlog has now been cleared so fingers crossed!
I’ve also upgraded to Norton Internet Security 2007 on my notebook computer, a tortuous upgrade that probably needs a complete uninstall and reinstall which may sort out the problems. In typical Norton / Symantec style the uninstallation fails, I’ve raised a support query but as my last one went unanswered I’m not holding my breath. I have two months left with my current subscription so the jury’s still out on whether I’ll continue using the product or revert to my previous security products.
I’ve been catching up with the folk podcast run by Ken Nicol (Steeleye Span) and Phil Widdows, I’m quite new to listening to podcasts (the term comes from an amalgamation of i-pod and broadcasts although you don’t need an i-pod), the folk podcast is produced monthly and is in essence a ‘radio’ programme accessible on the web, you can listen to it in Windows Media Player (or any other media player) or copy it to a personal MP3 player. You can access individual programmes directly from the folk podcast web site or install a free RSS Podcast Client (rather like a blog aggregator) which will keep you up to date with selected podcasts. I downloaded the free Juice software which seems to work very well.
The heavy rain and high winds have continued through the day and we also had a brief power cut.
I managed to complete the upgrade process for BT Total Broadband today by telephone, having failed to make it happen on-line on the BT website, both times I tried on their web site I received a confirmation page that stated the upgrade had been accepted but that was where the upgrade process ended! Fingers crossed that everything will be working next week.
I had intended going to my Welsh class this morning, I’ve missed a number of weeks following my recent surgery, unfortunately Julie rang this morning to say that she’s unable to run the class today as she’s not feeling very well. 🙁
I spent the morning applying 3M repositionable pressure mount to a large number of photographs ready to mount them in the albums I’m currently working on. Perhaps one day someone will devise a mounting product that is easy to use, so far this time I’ve avoided cutting my fingers with the scalpel. 🙂
Jason called in this evening to collect the print order from his and Jennie’s wedding. Their Jorgensen wedding album is being delivered this week so their album should be ready at the end of the week. With a bit of luck I should have completed all the current album orders this week.
