**Disaster**
Unfortunately technology has bitten back this week. On St David's Day (March 1st) I had a fab day taking many many photographs of pupils in National Costumes and of us playing and performing on the day. In the evening I began to download the photographs to the Apple MacBook - then DISASTER!!!, I hadn't noticed how low the cameras battery was, it ran out giving me a warning message about loss of data. I had to wait then until the following morning when my batteries had recharged before I was able to check out what had happened, sure enough -the camera said that the xd card required formatting!!!!! in doing so it cleared the card - ALL PHOTOGRAPHS NOW GONE. All of the work of the day before is now lost, I was devastated and will now have to gather images from other members of staff - Technology Bites Back : (

A cautionary tale for us all. I asked yesterday whether anyone was backing up the administration computer! No! I warned that it WILL fail at some time and they will wish they had a back-up. I think they think that I am overly cautious.
Anything that can go wrong at some stage will go wrong!
Poor Paul, don't worry!!!!!!!! If other members of staff will give you their images it's enaugh to see the Celebration and National Customs.
Those images not will be like yours but...never mind!!
