Recovering Pictures

Having recently had reason to refer to my photographs of my sister Jaqueline’s 60th Birthday Party on 14th April 2007, I discovered that the two posts featuring them had been casualties of the transfer of management of my blog site. All kinds of problems arose from this.

These are those, having given them their correct titles, I will save from https://derrickjknight.com/2018/11/27/the-birthday-girl/ and https://derrickjknight.com/2018/12/08/a-go-at-grooming/

Anyone wishing to read the text to either of these posts will find that the only way of accessing the pictures is to click on the little blue square in each image individually. I was very lucky that this was possible in these cases, for often you would get a message saying there is nothing there. Identification by name can be obtained from my work here; anyone inquisitive about relationship details will need to refer to the posts highlighted above.

I spent the afternoon on ‘The Brontës’.

This evening we dined at the exemplary Rokali’s where Jackie enjoyed her favourite Paneer Shashlik while I chose Jaipur Prawns and we shared special fired rice and onion bahjis, with which Mrs Knight drank Diet Coke and I drank Kingfisher.

  3. I’m glad these evocative pictures were not lost in the ether. I enjoyed recognising some of them too, not being the best at remembering faces.

  16. WordPress has become uncaring and irresponsible. They have done many things in the name of enhancing the experience which I find belittling to say the least, like taking away the “Classic Editor”, and how you manage the images. To be sure, there is a Plugin to get it back but my “Premium” subscription happens to falls woefully short of the service beyond which I can visualize nothing but diminishing returns. WordPress has reduced what used to be an enjoyable activity into a difficult exercise. I am glad you could salvage those images as if from a quirky time machine that will sputter and fizzle out in your face anytime.
