To my great surprise and joy, between my old and current passports, along with the photo galleries I made, I&#8217;ve been able to piece together the dates of all my European trips since moving to Scotland.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>But I have no documentation about my trips to Canada. They don&#8217;t stamp my passport when I enter the country. So does anyone have any clever ideas about how I might be able to figure this out? I suppose I could dredge through all the archives of my blog and try to piece it together, but if there&#8217;s a quicker way you can think of &#8212; let me know!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>This application is just one of a dozen different projects I found myself staring at this morning. I&#8217;m having a breezy week where I feel like I could move the world &#8212; if I could just decide what to do. So this afternoon I went to The Elephant House, bought a decaf Americano and a bowl of their amazing marinated olives, and <em>made a list!<\/em> Then everything was okay, exciting, and approachable.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>If my life works at all, it&#8217;s because of mindmappy lists.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and I have a bunch of stuff to give away, if anyone wants it, because it works perfectly well, but not with my current computer setup:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bluetooth Class 1 USB dongle. (Lets you connect Bluetooth devices such as a mobile phone with your PC).<\/li>\n<li>SanDisk USB SD card reader. (Lets you read SD camera cards on your PC.)<\/li>\n<li>A Visioneer 9020 colour scanner. (This one pains me, because it&#8217;s much better than my current crappy scanner, but the manufacturers have said they&#8217;re not going to provide Vista drivers, so I can&#8217;t use it.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&lt;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>p&gt;If you want any of these things, just drop an e-mail to the address to the right.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/hame.ink\/blether\/wp-content\/uploads\/posts\/1032\/where-when-and-stuff0.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m trying to gather everything together for my naturalisation application (but I&#8217;m still not thinking about the test yet).
