I drafted this post yesterday in preparation for a tutorial session with a WordPress Happiness Engineer.
This involves more scans of prints from the Isle of Wight holiday photographed on film in August 1980.
I have not noted the exact location of any of these images. Here is a cormorant on a wreck, seemingly claiming to be cock of walk in the second photograph.
Here Alice proudly displays her nice new choppers.
Oliver and Jessica joined others in a horse and cart ride.
This was the first Meadow Brown (I think) butterfly that I photographed.
I didn’t receive a phone call from Mr Happy. I got an invitation by e-mail to a chat session on Zoom. I couldn’t make it work. I spent 15 minutes looking at my own image on screen. I do hope no-one heard my ejaculations.
Ah ha, so the Happiness Engineer’s job isn’t to make their customers happy then – I wonder who they are busy making smile ……. Alice had a very fine set of tiny choppers <3
X Thanks very much, Pauline
Nice post Derrick
Thanks very much, More
You’re quite welcome
How are you today?
I’m well, but a bit dopy because I got up early for the Happiness Engineer! How about you?
I I’m doing very good today.
Thanks for asking.
I hope rest of your day is good and happy.
Thanks a lot, More. I’m pleased you are well
I have so screwed up my software access today, that WordPress would not accept my first comment. I think the Happiness Engineer is all-seeing, all-censoring.
I do hope not 🙂 Thanks very much, Gwen
I wondered what your title would refer to. I thought some sort of helicopter activity, but the photo of Alice is much nicer. 🙂
Happiness Engineer is such a ridiculous title, and I’m sorry you had such a frustrating time.
Thanks very much, Merril. I’m pleased you liked the teeth. 🙂 Quite ridiculous a title even if I had been able to use it.
🙂
Love the photos, but had to laugh about you and Zoom!! 🙂
I was born far too early for all this stuff 🙂 Thanks very much, GP
I KNOW that feeling!
I’m sure 🙂
Seeing little Alice’s sweet face sure made me happy!
Thanks very much, Jill
Great pics Derrick, appears there are quite a few wrecks around the Isle of Wight, probably from the war years I surmise, love the smile on little Alice’s face, adorable.
Cheers, Ian
Lovely smile displaying choppers 🙂
Thanks very much, Rupali 🙂
A beautiful set of baby teeth on Alice! She has a sweet smile! 🙂 Beautiful photos, Derrick!
Thank you very much, Lavinia
Excellent photos!
Thanks very much, Becky
WP Engineers ran short on Happiness? I feel for you, Derrick.
You have your precious memories to cherish and to share with us; we are grateful.
Thanks very much, Dolly. I’ll get over it 🙂
Very welcome, Derrick. We’ve all been there…
Better luck next time with Zoom. You’ve reminded me again that I must scan some photos from the archives.
Thanks very much, Sheree
I hiope you eventually managed your face to face video call!
Nope – I totally misunderstood – I thought I’d get a call, not an on-line chat using Zoom which I couldn’t make work. Thanks very much, Sue
I think a call makes more much sense for us as WordPress users. I also think they should issue picture instructions because seeing the screen and the path you need to take makes things clearer for us.
Yes. The trouble is that these youngsters who grew up with PCs have no idea what it is like for us old’uns.
My brain just does not absorb things as quick as it used to, and even though my background is computing, I struggle with some new ideas.
🙂
So happiness was not engineered!
Nope. Thanks very much, Leslie
I’ve never heard of a Happiness Engineer. Sounds positive. Hope it is at some point. 🙂
Alice’s choppers are lovely and her smile beautiful! 🙂
Love the cart and horse and riders! The water shots! And the gentle beautiful butterfly! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
Thanks very much, Carolyn. x
Ah, that elusive happiness. So easy to talk about, so hard to find.
Thank you very much, Tootlepedal 🙂
Seems the Happiness Engineer was elusive, but the bright butterfly wasn’t? Fortunately the Love was not hard to find this time either. 😉

Many thanks, Bob. I just knew what that link would be 🙂
Alice smiles so sweetly to show off her new choppers.
Many thanks, Liz 🙂

Arrgh. Un-happiness maker.
Indeed. Thanks very much, Crystal
