The Wayback Machine served a useful purpose yesterday in that it recovered the complete post Louisa needed, and in the process revealed which of the pictures from my iMac Photos file had been missing. Unfortunately the images in the galleries could not be enlarged, which was what my daughter required.
I therefore went through the whole exercise again this morning, this time incorporating the files direct from my pictures via the desktop, and produced:
After lunch I published https://derrickjknight.com/2023/04/25/droll-tales-27/
Later, feeling rather stronger, I was delighted to log into Wayback by following Flo’s directions; not so delighted to discover that even that site tells me that only one picture exists. It is not crucial to the story so I have cut my losses and removed all the indications of missing pictures:
This evening we all finished yesterday’s spicy pasta arrabbiata meal with the dame beverages.
Congratulations on successfully navigating the Wayback Machine. What pray tell are dame beverages, unless it is my friend the typo of same beverages? Glad you are feeling better.
I wondered the same thing–if it was some Derrick wordplay–but I think it was supposed to be same. 🙂
You are right, Merril
????
Yes – a typo, Pat. Thank you very much
I am known as the Typo Queen
The best way for me to spot them is as I hit send. ????????????
You seem to be winning your battle with recalcitrant technology, Derrick.
Thank you very much, Dolly. It will probably take more time than I’ve got.
So much work in recovering these images, Derrick. You have a lot of patience.
Thank you so much, Merril
I agree with Merril. So much work!
Much appreciated, Luanne
Its wonderful to Look Back at go back down memory lane… You have such a wonderful family dear Derrick… and Well done in resurrecting your images…. I just took a tour… <3
Thank you so much, Sue X
You are most welcome <3
I’ve found Internet Archives’ Wayback Machine handy a time or two.
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
I had a look at the Wayback Machine and I am glad that you have introduced me to it.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
Resurrecting images is always so frustrating but when it succeeds, it’s a great feeling
Yes. Thank you very much, Gary
Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose, and sometimes it’s okay to cut our losses. You won big with the abundance of lovely family photos and a good one of the ponies.
Thank you very much, JoAnna
I was thinking of suggesting the Wayback machine to you, but thought better of it precisely because of your image-intensive posts. So, the Herculean efforts continue….
Thank you so much, Uma
Great work Derrick!
Thanks very much, Aletta
Derrick, you are a marvel.
Thank you so much, Anne
Your dedication and patience in this endeavor is inspiring! And will be so worth it! Keep up the great work!
(((HUGS)))
PS…”dame beverages”… Dames Night Out with drinks like Margaritas, Daiquiris, Wine, Pina Colada…HA! Just teasing! 😉 I realize it should read same not dame.

Thanks very much, Carolyn. This was a typo worth keeping. X
Yes! It tickled me.
Haha… Nobby Bates again, I seem to remember that post kicking off a long search though your past posts for you and I.
Until you mntioned it yesterday I’d not heard of the Way Back Machine either.
Given that I think that must have been how James found it without the pictures, I wouldn’t have found Nobby without it. Thanks very much, Sue
Delighted to hear you’re feeling better
Thank you very much, Sheree
Glad you are feeling better and good to know the Wayback Machine has proven useful to you.
Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
I remember many of those recovered photos now, Derrick. The Wayback site sounds quite interesting!
Thanks very much, Lavinia
I’m glad you’re feeling better! Seems that also the Wayback Machine has some limitations 🙂
Yes. Thanks very much, Ribana
Win some, lose some
Thanks a lot, Sheree
