[[ Deeply saddened ]]

My greatest fear when on the move is losing my pictures. Cameras are replaceable, the pictures/videos on them, less so. And today, that fear came upon me.

The minute I got home, I switched on the PC, and waited. And waited. And waited.

And while waiting, I thought it'd be a good time to take the XD card out and empty the nearly full 1GB memory card. But what do you know? I was warmly welcomed with:

"MEDIA ERROR"

Totally gone, destroyed, demolished, erased.
My jaws dropped, my expressions shocked.
The many memories, sights and sounds of the weekend remain trapped in the head.
I wanted to share the news and so I waited..and waited.
It's okay, "every cloud has a silver lining"

Be that as it may, I then spent sometime on the net, and came across this post:

No doubt there was laughter for us all today, and plenty of it but there were freeing tears as well. No, not infront of the girls, but infront of this screen - suddenly.

Why so?

Because the episode of the sudden "NO IMAGE"/ "MEDIA ERROR" came back haunting me.

So going back to the title of this post ---- I'm "deeply saddened"

This is not the end.
This is not even the beginning of the end.
It is, instead, the end of the beginning..
