Oh. O.

Well I’m on a roll. Making and now, spotting mistakes all over the crafty place! Whilst the ‘children’ were home for Easter, I employed them on various tasks involving computers. Fair exchange to be honest, they did things in minutes whilst I slaved over Easter food in the kitchen and gave them chocolate. One of the things I wanted to do was reduce my iCloud storage because I’m not about to start paying for it, I’m too mean AND it’s all part of the control that tech has over my life and I want to stick it to the man. Listen to me, what a load of rubbish. Anyway, once on a page in my scrapbook, I consign the photos to the 21st century shoe box that is a massive file on my PC. That is now organised. And better yet, it’s empty; instead of a £3 Easter egg, I bought myself an external hard drive for photos only. Yep. Sticking it to the man by giving someone nearly £50. Anywayyyyyy….
In organising the photos, there were a lot to be deleted. I use the camera on my phone and iPad as an aide memoire, take lots of screen shots and pics of menu boards in pubs so I can share with others at the table, lovely stuff I want people to see..you know. So, I deleted a chunk which meant having a quick gander at each picture. Honestly, it was a game of spot the mistake.
made this LO in February, photographed it to use on the blog as a decoy for some rambling probably ranting post and put it in the scrapbook. Have looked at the original a few times since, and the photo on my iPad as many times as I’ve had to scroll through ‘em. And until it was time to delete it yesterday, I didn’t notice the mistake in the title. No O in front of clock. OOOOOO Oh for heavens sake! Talk about read what you think it should say not what it actually says. I’ve tried to lift the stuck on letters so that I could correct it…not happening without massive tearing and tears. So this is another perfectly imperfect. I thought that about this LO anyway because my pen ran out as I was doing the tiny bit of journaling at the bottom; until yesterday, I was happily and totally oblivious to the real BIG mistake!  Follow me for more, I can guarantee there will be!

Could have been worse, you could have missed the ‘L’ out of clock…..😉

I’m chuckling at Jans comment. It’s so funny how your brain reads what you expect it so say...I bet none of us would have noticed if you hadn’t pointed it out.

Trust Jan... But she's right!!! lol
I was going to comment on getting an external....you'll be so glad. They are wonderful things..... LOADS and LOADS of photos and docs. I just love mine. I have several and my Ancestry has to be the best.

I bought an external drive after my previous computer failed. have i moved photos to it..... course not! I am sure you will be more disciplined than me. i'd not have noticed the lack of o' either... you really do read what you think it says... Jan of course, had me giggling....

That's funny! Our brain just inserts the O without us being aware! I didn't see it until you said it! LOL! Lindart

Sorry to be the spoil sport, but I noticed immediately the "O" was missing. But I do a LOT of proofreading and I can spot a mistake on a page, especially ones in published books. Still, it doesn't take away from the beauty of the photos or the LO.

Jan has summed it up perfectly. I did think though that you could maybe try adding a small letter 'o' above the gap between the 12 and clock.
Hugs, Neet xx
