Thanks Willz. It's a pity the camera on the tablet is so poor; I do have a work iphone but haven't yet worked out to get the photos onto an accessible platform - too much inbuilt security. I cannot even get the photos of receipts to move to an internal drive!
As much as anything I did it to monitor progress.

Just spent a very enjoyable 40 minutes looking through your blog, fantastic Spencer Smiths.
Don't know how I missed it a wonderful selection of photos full of inspiration.
Great ideas on your conversions.

Willz.

Thanks Willz, very kind. I think you have visited as you left a comment a while back!

Suspect it's not allowed on the work phone. Not allowed to use Zoom (even when Boris was using it....).

Damn, I find it a really easy way to transfer files and pics between devices.

Ask IT what cloud storage service you could be allowed?

Yes, it normally works and was the first thing I tried.

I did manage to get some photos of figs onto a work device Onedrive; as sensitive information is not allowed on work Onedrive, I should in theory be able to transfer to a personal Onedrive account by logging in, which I could access from a personal PC.

However, I have not done this until I can find out what the actual policy is; it changes, especially when some dick transfers sensitive information by email to a personal device and the memos / emails start flying.
I'm pretty sure photo hosting sites are blocked.

Since transferring the pictures of toy soldiers, I have been unable to transfer work related expense claim receipts to OneDrve from the phone; not sure if it's user error or there's a fault or even security block. It takes forever to find out what you are allowed to do and a mistake could cost you your job, so it's gone on the back burner.

It may be a project for when I retire.....

Sounds like a cheap phone/camera is the answer.

That sounds like a line from the Great McGonagal...

Welcome Neil!

Me too. I have a lot of Spencer Smiths.

Yes, I've seen the pictures...☺
Mine are nowhere the size of your or Willz's units, I used them to indulge my megalomanical Imagi-Nations project:

It's grown over the years.......

Please forgive my lack of suitable response Neil. I'm hiding away in a Shepherds hut in the Peak District at the moment and I'm struggling to keep up with the real world.

Back on line by Saturday..... I hope.

Sounds restful....I think? One of the problems with getting away from it all......☺

If he ix there this week, that and not drowning.
