The prompt words – Light & Top

I was trying to be serious today, and wanted to write something really meaningful… it didn’t quite happen, all I could think of was silly stuff! Think it’s because I am in a heightened state of excitement with the Bloggers bash so close!

So here are my two entries!

Cake

Freshly baked sponge cake
A light dusting of sugar
To top it all off

Please be most aware
If you are wearing a sheer top
Bright lights shine right through!

One cream sheet, some old scarves, a pair of scissors, a head band and Lil Man’s sword! No sewing needed!

Of course she’s a tomboy so she wanted the weapon, but hey, not too bad eh!

Just a quick one…

I has taken me 3 days (and still counting) to upload all my Helsinki photos to Microsoft Onedrive and also to Dropbox.

Why am I doing both?

Onedrive is best for my PC and Surface.

Dropbox is for sharing the link with my family.

But…

Onedrive is rubbish with its uploading and it took over 24 hours to initially upload.

Then when it was done, I very cleverly moved the file to Dropbox. Yes, you read that right. Moved, instead of Copied.

So I was left with no Helsinki photos in Onedrive!

Then I looked at my Dropbox, and it had created a PC folder with all the photos and videos, but not uploaded to the server. So the links I had smugly sent to the family contained 4 photos instead of 619!

That was yesterday. When I tried to upload them all together, it told me it would take 7 days. 7 DAYS!!!

I now am sat here manually uploading each file… 38 videos to go…

At least I managed to get the Onedrive ones sorted.

But OMG! How frustrating!
