Clutter, clutter everywhere

I am rushing in and rushing out here because I have rather rashly bought myself a new desktop tower. This was getting very necessary as the old one is 10-years-old and is showing its age. I have known I needed to do this for some time so you would have thought I would have prepared by tidying up my files and folders and sorting out what has been ( Read more... )

We have never given any of our fish names - they don’t come when you call them so what’s the point. They have always been ‘the fish’ lol!

You are being very disciplined - I just copy everything over from old computers to new ones with the intention of cleaning everything up afterwards. Which of course never gets done and I just keep buying computers with bigger hard drives ....

Unfortunately my discipline never lasts long. I sort out half the folders, run out of time, transfer it all over and then can't remember what I've sorted and what I haven't. That is exactly what is going to happen again this time I'm afraid :)

Oooh shiny! And I wouldn't call it 'rash' I'm sure you've been complaining about your PC for years now. ;)

so you would have thought I would have prepared by tidying up my files and folders and sorting out what has been transferred to an external hard drive and what hasn't, but you would have thought wrong! Oh dear! I now need to sort out the digital detritus of a decade and work out which files are duplicated all over the place and which only exist on the desktop.
LOL. Just blame covid/lockdown lethargy. Which is actually a thing!

Regarding pets, then one of my work colleagues has a tortoise. Could that be an option? And it hibernates half the year so is only half the work of a regular pet.

Sadly, I don't think a tortoise would survive the wildlife in our garden - cats, foxes and the occasional badger!

I have been complaining about my PC for years but I've remembered why I've been putting it off changing it for so long as sorting out what needs to transfer and what can go is a nightmare. I shall probably just end up transferring the lot :)

You just made me realise I had always imagined it as an indoor pet. I'll have to ask!

Yeah, do everything and then tidy it up at an unspecified future point. :D
